Hate to do a double post, but I've been thinking about some major updates to my routes, including starting to plan out a route for the Dark World, since my computer got banged by some virus or hacker or something.
I've decided that I'm going to try and use an exploration glitch in the Tower of Hera...if possible...to try to get the Magic Hammer early. If it works, it'll keep the movie entertaining after I have to "shut the rain off" to go to the Mountain Palace. I would've beaten all three palaces without saving Zelda, but the thing is, the Old Man doesn't show up unless you have the Magic Mirror on you, and you do need the Magic Mirror, unless you wanna just stick around and forever be a trapped Pink Bunny in the light world.
Now, I've started planning out the Dark World.
I really want to avoid doing the Palace of Darkness first, if I can help it. Why? Because I think it'd be awesome not to, because that's what the game tells you to do. With the Magic Hammer in tow, I'll easily walk on by that palace and head on out to other places.
My original plan was to actually go to Misery Mire first and complete that, but I forgot that you need the Titan's Mitt to lift the stone to get into Misery Mire.
I also want to beat palaces 5 and 6 as soon as humanly possible because I'd just like to get the Golden Sword as soon as I can. Besides, it'd be fun to go into the first palace with a golden sword that you're never, ever supposed to have in there. However...is it necessary to have the Fire Rod in order to beat Kholdstare, or can I just hack to pieces that ice casing of his?
I'm pretty sure that beating castles 5 and 6 activates the Super Bomb in the Bomb Shop. If I'm mistaken, please correct me.
If I don't need the Fire Rod for Kholdstare, here's my projected Dark World Palace Run:
4, 6, 5, 2, 3, 1, 7.
And if I do need the Fire Rod before Kholdstare...
4, 6, 3, 5, 2, 1, 7.
And again, for the Void Walking, if I remember right, you're supposed to dash every other frame and move at the same time? I read an explanation of this glitch and got confused.
And remember, I'm doing a purely entertainment run. Time is of no real concern, so if you have any entertaining ideas to add to this, by all means, let me know.
