You can't win the marathon. He always finishes a second faster than you. And the Hylian Loach took me ~4 hours to catch. This was before I found the sinking lure. I haven't really tried since then. I've been hunting a 22 pounder (which I'm not really sure even can exist)

Loach, The Hyrulian Loach. I've only caught it once. 33 pounds, I wonder what the range is. I've caught a 21 pound regular fish though.

If you're going to do it on an older copy (1st edition) you have to make sure you get the Mask of Truth, and the 2nd Deku Nut upgrade, before becoming an adult. Also, Skulltula?

No, it's possible to get the Biggoron sword without Epona.

It concerns the dereferencing of hashes. The { }s in a hash don't seem to behave as regular block, as such I'm having trouble using variables inside of them. For instance: $CGI{$editn[$j]} doesn't do what I want. $CGI{${editn}[$j]} and $CGI{"$editn[$i]"} fail as well. Is there anything I can do about this, or is it just an odd quirk and I have to find a work around?

Bah, the last time I played it on an emulator I leaned on the skip frame key the entire time outside of battles.

You can watch avis on WMP. But as I said before, you'll need to update your codecs. To my knowledge there are no wmv copies of the runs. And you'll probably want to get a different media player. I'm in eternal servitude to Winamp.

If you're having trouble viewing the avis you probably need to update your codecs. I just use the K-Lite codec pack. You can find it for free here.

Kanji isn't terribly difficult. It just has a high learning curve. At least for reading. Writing is a different story.

That was quite a long list. Thanks TNSe for filling in for me. I will try to answer most questions again though.

If it is Im kinda ashamed. I tried this jump more then twice and when I didn't succeded after like 50 tries I redid a part to get the wing boots instead.
Take this as a "iirc", it's been a while. Though the poison that SlyBeast mentioned I'm certain about. You might have to use the squid though.

Why would that be faster?
You stay out of the enemies' way. Then again those guy are worth about 250 apiece so it might be a money thing.

Sorry man but that's a stupid question ;) Atleast in the context.
I know, I remembered it going somewhere, but I didn't remember where. Figured it'd give a chuckle maybe. ^^;;

English alphabet is ...NOPQRSTU... if you remove the Q and the R you get ...NOPSTU... Then take just part of it and you get PS. It's a silly joke. *nod* I'll just do it over then.

I was replaying a movie, then I used the savestate trick to continue playing it and made some progress. Then I didn't hit "movie end" but I still have the save state, I stopped playing again to watch what I've done so far. It stopped at the place where I used "movie stop" last (ie yesterday's work). I tried to refresh the newer state and it didn't work. Is there anyway to make that save state work again? (Yes) Is there an easy way to do it? (Probably not) Is there anyone out there willing to post the difficult way to do it?

Is there a way to reassociate a save state file with a movie? Or is it lost forever?

Question: Which bosses can be defeated by simply dodging and waiting? The first can, I'm not sure about the rest.

So if I end up with a movie that has too many 0-bytes, it would be possible to cut these off somehow to make the filesize smaller?
Yup, open it up in a hex editor and make use of your delete key. (Heck, notepad or notepad++ prolly'll work if you know what you're looking for)

19:36 Actually that one is a possible one, but considering killing the squid gives him health (food), which he needs later on, taking more damage would put him in a worse situation, also note that you pause for a while when you get hit, and that those squids hurt quite a lot.
No, not getting hit by him, hitting him, if you watch it he runs ahead of the squid, pauses, waits for the squid to go past then jumps up and finishes him off, would it be faster to jump up and hit him, then continue up and kill him on the top platform. Unless I'm recalling something incorrectly and the squid turns around everytime when he gets hit instead of just when you hit him in the front, (which if you hit him at the very last second might net you some time as well, just no meat)
23:25 No, the clapper had stopped, jumping there would have given him an headache, also the clappers damage over the entire screen, so if he had run past him, he would take damage and be stunned for a small while.
I was pretty sure he has a good second or so before the screen flash.
27:15 Why don't you try where it goes :P As far as I remember it leads back to beyond the door he just came in, which of course is not desireable.
Then would it be faster to use that at 28:52 as he's coming back?

For that matter, that place where you grabbed the Wing Boots to fly that short part, that's doable without the boots as well. 2nd dungeon, would it save time if you went for the elixer and the wing boots first? Use what's left of the 1st Wing Boots to skip the first part of the climb. After the mist city at 16:00, would it be faster to stay on top of the blocks there? At 16:36 is there a particular reason you used Deluge? At 17:08 would it be faster to skip those two enemies? At 19:36, would it be faster to hit the squid twice instead of waiting on it? At 22:21 would it be faster to stay on top? At 22:41 would it be faster to be hit by the squid? At 23:25 would it be faster to jump over the clapper? At 27:14 where does that hole go anyway? At 31:05 would it be faster to just hit that guy twice, or does it not push him back enough? At 34:28 Why does he have two hand daggers?

It seems that the Land's End shortcut is a dead end. I've tried forcing myself into the treasure chest using the enemy. I've tried forcing myself on top of the enemy using the wall, and the spring platform. (Heck, I even defeated the Shysters to see if anything happened. It didn't, they just respawn when you reenter...) I'mma try to get my hands on a Japanese version to see if it makes a difference. Even if I were able to scale the cliff (which I still think is doable), and I can get around the barrels (not sure if they even block you), I wouldn't think that they'd allow you to exit through the other path in that room. (Seeing as they cut off the the one southeast of the spring).

I'm willing to bet $10 that [P]-[a]-[B]-[l]-[o] has it set so he signs in automatically. ^_^
