can you go and get the biggoron sword beforehand?

No, Biggoron Sword is not allowed.

ahhhh so much RBA for the setup what do u do RBA on to get the song of time again? :S

If you are preping a file you don't have to RBA, I just did it in the Wii save since it was easier. But if you want to RBA then if you catch a bug with odd potion on C-right you'll get it.

If I can't find a way to make my VC oot works 60 Hz, I will surely not be able to do this task...

But I like challenge so I'll try anyway.

I am having trouble downloading the save. My SD card doesn't have a file called data.bin it is called content.bin I am following th instructions but it doen't work

Does anyone want to share their strat for the water room? I can't seem to get it without having to go up every 3 seconds for air :/

Unless your region change your Wii to NTSC it will run at 50 hz.

Just added that you can put other items in your bottles. If you think a fairy would save time by allowing a death then respawn, that's fine.

Okay, I'm almost sure I won't be able to play this task...

If I have a file with more stuff than required in which I haven't touched Training Ground, could I play it for the task without using any other items than required and loosing more than 3 hearts?

Um, that's interesting actually. I suppose as long as you don't use the other items it'd be ok. Also make sure that you don't run over the 24 second timer from underwater, since that's one of the strats involved here.

Sorry for taking so long with this:

Place - Player - FINAL TIME
1st - Mp16 - 6:40.467
2nd - Kazooie - 7:50.667
3rd - hitonbi - 7:54.367
4th - keeta - 8:05.767
5th - Elminster - 10:32.267

aleckermit will have a video when he gets it done. It will be similar to the last one.

EDIT: Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lztlqWvb1CY

I will probably have Task 3 up this weekend. I apologize for not having one for this week, but my weekend was busy. It will also be much simplier to understand the rules of, and overall should be a bit easier. I really liked task 2 but the way I presented it was too complicated.

Loooool, behind by over 2 minutes

I seriously have no idea how people managed it in sub 8

and I don't know why certain people were upset that I didn't give strats I mean I didn't cut the 10 wtf

can't wait to see this video

Video is now in the previous post I made.

Like I said, I really liked this task. It was clear from the video there was no clear cut strategy: Everyone did the keys in different orders. It seems like optimizing that was a challenge, and also the water room was the biggest time sink between runners. That said, 2nd - 4th all had times within about 15 seconds of each other which I thought was cool.

But my presentation of this task was poor; I shouldn't need two paragraphs to explain the rules. So I will learn from this and correct it for the next task, and hopefully that encourages more participation.

mp16 is my favorite oot player :)

Task 3 has been posted! Let me know if you have any questions about it.

I am trying to mave the save fiel to my wii. reading the instructions, it says that there should be a file called data.bin i can't find it all there is is content.bin could anyone help me
P.S. I don't have anything to record with so I do these for fun so I can can compare my times

its in private/something/something/5 letter code that starts with n iirc/data.bin
in order for that to be there copy your oot save from the wii to sd card first, then just replace it.

also runnerguy, can i use a file that has the boulder in front of dc blown up already?

Its always gone as adult.

right i should have remembered that. can't wait to get home and test this goal, there are so many route possibilities it will be interesting to see what everyone picked. just wish we could use NL because i dont want to learn to superslide. ah well.

Thundrio, I am ge right going to the right place. But the raw save file was said to be data.bin but in my SD card is says content.bin i don't what to do

EDIT: NVM found out what I was doing wrong

if i am not going underwater at any point in the run, can i wear the zora tunic to be different?

lol, sure go for it.

Would Ganon's Castle count, it doesn't have a dungeopn map or compass, but it has its own section on the IL page.

No.

Thank you Exodus

Can we blow up the rocks blocking the GC* warp/the rocks leading to the top of Death Mountain before starting?

There are no rocks blocking the DC entrance as adult.

Leave the other ones in as well.

I meant to type GC.

Damn, I don't care about studies and homework! I'll give it a try!  :)


EDIT: Dammit! I prepared the file on my DC task file then I realized that I had goron bracelet! :(

I'm starting another but I suck at cucco jump, (2hours of attempts, 3 times get caught by the guards, 0 succes even with buffering! Damn I must be retard!) and my BotW chus skills are at absolute 0 (-273°C)!
This gonna be hard!


EDIT2: F you nintendo! My Wii doesn't read my oot disc anymore! It interrupted playing two times when I was saving in thieves' hideout!  :'(

i have a small suggestion rg, i have been reading the twitters of izu/sva/dada (with google translate), and they all seem to be trying to compete in the competition, but they seem to have a little difficulty understanding the rules (not a lot though). i'm not sure if there is anybody in the zsr community who speaks both languages, but it might be nice to have a translator translate the rules. iv also seen them complaining about zsr, but thats another topic (and who knows, one of them might speak a bit of english anyway).

They have spoken enough english to send me their videos and ask questions, and they have not broken any rules. I will do what I can for them but I cannot speak Japanese so would be of little help in that regard.
