"Max% Adult" - a fun challenge

this is something fun that I came up with awhile back and I got some people to play it all the way through.

it's a good way to test your OoT knowledge and skills

basically, escape the forest (the old way, hovering with deku shield + kokiri sword), and immediately make your way to the ToT, do the DoT skip, and become an adult. You should have nothing except kokiri sword, and deku shield. Preferibly 0 rupees. Once you're adult after the cutscene, savewarp back to the other side of the DoT, and then Max% Adult begins.

At first this used to leave you perma-stuck with no way of ever completing the game, but thanks to broken giant's knife clipping, it's possible to go back through the DoT. However for the sake of this challenge, don't ever become child link after becoming adult the 1st time

Your goal is to complete as much of the game as possible. You may seem at a bit of a loss of what to do first, but figuring it out is half the challenge ;)

A couple of interesting things:
- BA is impossible thanks to no possibility of ever getting a bottle
- Adult link cannot push the large blocks in the forest temple, you'll need to find an alternate method
- You can get every medallion except Shadow, and every stone except Sapphire

Couldn't agree more. A really fun challenge.

IMO max% child is a bit more fun but this is a close 2nd.

BTW edited the item list into cosmos post.

even though this would never be SDA viable i could record a few segments of this... of course i still have that problem of trying DoT skip for a few hours without ever clipping through...

Maybe it's up for debate but I would think that Segment 1 would be the 1st seg after the savewarp past the DoT

I might try this sometime and record segments, it looks like TONS of fun

This.

Someone needs to find the best starting route because I have no idea.

No,I don't think so. Escapes and DoT skip can be done but take skill. The faster runner will get a better time. Plus there is no set amount of time that must pass for that child part before we become adult. If we had to wait till "daybreak" and did it asap cuz time passed in the DoT and it was always like that maybe it would be different but technically alot of people have trouble with the DoT skip and forest escapes and I think that it becomes something worth seeing, but also something where not everyone will have the same times.

I always go for Hookshot -> 10 Skulltulas -> Adult Wallet -> Bridge Skip -> Gerudo Fortress -> Carpet chus

I don't really know what the best strategy is (and that takes a while), but that's the only thing I thought of when I started it.  I still haven't done much with max% adult (I think child is too much fun).

Well I was just wondering about the Gold Skulltula route, but I think I have a decent one now.

Just a quick question, is there any reason why we couldnt kill big poes to get a bottle?
After you get bombs and epona I dont see why not

You need a bottle to catch them and take them back to the Poe guy.

oh duh. my bad

This seems like a fun project :P
even tho i never ever ever was able to do the DOT skip :(

would u guys want a save file on mupen and/or pj64 after dot skip? cause i'd have no problem making one

That gives me an idea. Maybe we can put save states on the site available for downloads. What do you guys think? I have tons of Oot save states, and quite a few Majora's Mask ones for PJ64.

Yeah Unreal thats a good idea, we could have a page for it

Maybe the saves should be formatted, as in, All named link or something?

also, it should probably state the items on the state on the page...


JUST IDEAS :D

Shadow Temple Without Lullaby.

We can add Shadow Medallion, Light Arrows, and another heart container to the list.

Aw man, my Max %adult is on the n64 :(

Not that I'd ever be able to do that anyways.  It looks waaaay too hard.

hmm, is max% as adult further ahead in items obtanined than max% as child?

jiano would that be quicker for the IL any% for shadow

Most likely. It's too hard to do it from how it looks.

it only depends on whether or not you can clip without hover boots.

It has already been done without hover boots iirc. I think we were also able to do it with no bombs, just 51 chus (:().

Solution: Get the Megaton Hammer, steal the rod, get bottle on B, use IHG to hover, and once you get down to 26 chus use your B bottle.

EDIT: I rearranged the order, in case anyone was about to nitpick.

And what bottle would you be using for B exactly?  :P

this is my next project and a perfect test for the wii64 emulator for my wii. so yeah people take that.
