Allright!!! I'm going to help you as much as I can. I have hardly played the game since I finished my speedrun, hehe, so I don't have many new tricks at the moment. But I'm going to start playing the game again:). Good luck!

I see you are talking glitches again, sounds interesting...:) Is someone going to improve any of the LA runs that's up? As both of them can be improved a bit. Sound like Twelvepack is trying something, hmm. I will gladly help the one who will take the challenge anyway, hehe. I think I got a new bomb&arrow route that's better... Not sure yet though. Twelvepack, if you wanted a save file with some items you can FF my 100% testrun, I presume you use the LA 1.0 Rom, right?http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/2515/TestRun.vbm EDIT: By the way, Chef, are you working with Oracle of Ages...?

Actually... There is one more star after the last one in the game. Star nr 121! Guess which...

That's sad:(. I would actually love to TAS this game, but I got so many other Speedrun Projects at the moment so I don't know if I want to take the challenge.... Don't think I got the skill and patience to make on either. Oh well, hopefully Chef_Stef is working on OoA instead:).

My ex thinks that I'm crazy that watches TAS's sometimes. But she watched my Oracle of Seasons Speedrun for some stupid reason... Because: 1. She hates Zelda. 2. She has never played any Zelda games. 3. She don't like speedruns. But still she watched it... Hmm.

I know, but I could still give some comments :D. But I really thought it wasn't needed to go around and activate so many switches...

Well... you got quite a lot to improve of it. You are losing you P-speed a dozen of times, you run into walls, quite a lot of tricks you aren't using, I thought it was able to go to the star road at once using lots of tricks like juimping on shells and walls?, why aren't you taking the red switch palace before you beat Vanilla Dome 2? And a lot of things more...

Oh, as I haven't played the game at all I haven't cared to read that topic, then I say good luck to Vespa and Chef Stef then:).

I have been thinking of a linked run as well. Not sure I will do one but... The idea is still up there:). EDIT: By the way. When you are digging, is it faster to slash with the sword just after every dig? I am sometimes doing this, but I don't know if it's really faster. Is it? And also: Is it faster to fly than walk with moosh? Another thing I haven't cared to try :D.

The ring is ALWAYS in the chest in the hidden room in dungeon 1. You did, however, say that there was a Power Ring lvl 2 in a chest in Oracle of Seasons dungeon 1, which happens to be a discovery ring...

At least everyone from SDA knows about this run, as it's being discussed there. It is not finished yet though. If someone will take the challenge to make a TAS of it, that would be interesting...

In my Speedrun, and also the testrun, I am taking the Power Ring lvl 1 from dungeon 1. I'm quite sure that this one will save time. Because many bosses can be killed in less cycles than before. Quite a lot actually. But to manipulate Maple to drop Power Ring Lvl 2 instead would save a lot more time, both because it is stronger but also because you don't need to take the small detour to get the Power Ring lvl 1. And as you have to meet Maple to get the Magic Potion, this won't take so much time at all. It takes around 20 second to appraise it at Vasu. And it will be a lot faster to have that ring indeed. It's free to appraise the ring as well so you don't need to get more rupees either... But I'm not so sure how hard it really is to manipulate Maple to drop it, sadly... But you shall indeed try! Someone of you.

OK, have watched both your runs. I guess it isn't faster to talk with the monkey once instead of the red bear. But I am always talking with the monkey, hehe. To Englishman: Same as what Chef said. To Chef: Ater obtaining the seeds, go right instead of down. That way is faster to the graveyard. Keep on trying to get rupees from enemies and bushes. You need to get 80 through the game: 10 for Tokay Island minigame. 20 for first Goron Dance. 10 for the "Train minigame". 20 for the "Slash with the sword to hit blue fairys and bla bla minigame." 20 for the second goron dance. I just came up with an idea... I wonder if it may be faster to do some pure luck manipulation and get the Whimsical Ring from Maple... It decreases your sword damage, but sometimes the hit is an instant kill. I'm not sure how this rings works because I have never equipped it. Does it work on bosses? Are the slashes random if the hit is an instant kill or not? If it is, you could use luck manipulation all the time to always get instant kills, hehe. Just an idea :D.

This looks really good. I'm not so good at the game so I have no tips I can offer for you, sadly=P. I wish you good luck though!

Post a new Wip every 5/10 minutes or similar. So you don't to remake too much if I find improvements.

I understood what you meant, just wrote my answer on a different way, hehe. Don't know how far you have reached yet, but there was a little bug in the beginning just before you get the sword. It doesn't save any time so if you are further than that just don't care. But if you press the Select button when Ralph is running away, you will still hear the music when you are talking to Impa. Regulary, as you know, that scene is silent. This is a bit pointless, but still:).

Oh, too bad:(. I hope that Vespa won't "cancel" the run as well, because I'm really looking forward to both these!

Going to be "hard" for me to post pics, as I don't know what tricks and so you are wondering about... =) I can't really post a pic of every trick in the whole run, sound a bit useless.
