This is the only way I'm playing OOT now. Good shit.

Edit: I lied. After playing through the route I've dubbed it too difficult for my current OOT skills.

Good Luck

Good luck with this run! I really look forward to see this done!
And my first post on this forum.

-get ground jump woth pot+dodongo method (chu bomb flower is too risky) (7 chus)

Fast and easy Dodongo's Cavern Ground Jump

Practise this. I can do this pretty much 100% of the time on Gamecube, and it should be even easier on N64 because the controller is more button-mash-friendly. Not that this trick requires button mashing - it's easier than it looks.

That's slow, lol. Clever though.

Updated the route slightly.  I practiced the water temple boss key skip a lot and I have decoded I will use it in my run.  Also after jabu insyead of going from lake hylia to castle I decided to go through ZR because I can make it to the castle before night much more consistently that way.  Bottle dupe is also gone.

Theres still 2 things I'm not happy about in the route.  1 - getting the fish before jabu costs a full minute when using ruto on the blue switch costs no time at all but the throw has to be so precise to get ruto to the ledge.  2 - going from deku to fire temple I was planning on using a hoverslide into darunias room early to get to the crater from there which would save about a minute but like #1 I just can't get it consistently enough.  I'll practice hoverslide more later but I'm sure I wont be able to get ruto to that ledge :(

I'm sure we can develop some strategies to ease your pain. Just needs some practice and repeatable steps.

Ok I can finally get the hoverslide to darunias room consistently so I'll be doing it in the run, however if I screw it up even once I'll just go up DM to DMC because the time saves becomes significantly less.  I'll practice the ruto throw some more, if I can get that consistently then I'll be very happy with this route :)

-pokey forest escape

Pokey has a glitch named after him o_o

yay :-)

Getting better at the ruto throw.  Still not consistent enough for an SS but I'm getting there.

this'll be badass.

but what does NMS stand for?

No Major Skips.

I played through the route this week. This run is ridiculously hard and it'll indeed be badass when it's done.

Please don't drop the run ZFG

I won't, it'll be the first thing I do when I get a dvd recorder.

How you are goind with this run ZFG? Or do you have any record devices yet? I like to see what you have done so far or see some little dungeon attemps or something like that from you :)

Still no recording device yet but I've been practicing a lot. I'll probably get a good run not long after getting a dvd recorder.

Since you are doing the Water Temple BK Skip why not go ahead and do the Spirit Temple BK Skip?

Because the spirit temple BK takes barely any time to get at all and skipping it wouldn't save more than a few seconds, if any.  Not to mention the extra bombs that would be used and my lack of chus by that point.

Ok I can get the ruto throw consistently now so it will be in the run :D

Done practicing, I'm now starting real recorded attempts :D

This is still the best shit in OOT.

I'm still too slow at well chus, sometimes link doesnt clip thru the ceiling of the basement, and the jumpslash is variable

maybe im doing something wrong

This run is superpro, Damn this was fun :D

I feel like running through your route a couple times now

New best time is 3:26:20.  It had a lot of mistakes so definitely not submitting and I'm lowering my goal time to 3:21-3:22, possibly sub 3:20 if its really good.

I'm gonna shit my pantaloons when this is done.

Just completed a run in 3:15:02.  It sounds like a godly time compared to my aim time, but it actually has 4-5 minutes of mistakes so I'm considering not submitting it.

Is the route in the 1st post up to date

It is now, but there have been only minor changes (alecs deku trick, superswims, change where fairy is gotten, encouraged to buy shield instead of waiting for night to get shield from graveyard).
