CORRECT DUNGEON ORDER Hi ya'll! I had an idea, which some has said sounds somewhat similar to another speedruning category called MST which was TAS'd by homerfunky, but I think it is worth considering. It is called, "Correct Dungeon Order." Unlike the MST TAS, this category would allow the use of reverse bottle adventure in order to move faster with more bombchus to spare, as well as skipping the visit to zelda. The route for this would be a bit different than what you'd expect since you can't visit or beat dungeons out of order, making wrong warping slightly more limited, since you have to beat the spirit/shadow temple last, and you can't wrong warp to the end of the game from there. This means we'll actually use Bottle Adventure to get Farore's wind on our B button in order to get a warp point at the end of tower collapse from a wrong warp in the fire temple. A big reason I wanted to TAS this category is because the, "All Medallions," TAS was completed with RBA and only beat one of the dungeons, and because the MST TAS was accidentally played on the wrong version of the game and lost time due to not being able to use bomb ocarina items. However someone brought up the argument that it would be too similar to homerfunky's MST TAS, because it does technically beat each dungeon just as he did, though in a much different way, never even getting light arrows or beating the trials, and skipping Ganondorf and doing dungeons in the, "right," order. As for how I came up with this, well we have something called reverse dungeon order, but then I thought it would actually be even more interesting if we were forced to do the dungeons in the normal order allowing the use of RBA and BA to save large portions of time. So, what do you guys think? Would this be worthy of a TAS? (estimated 1-2 hours)\ Also I posted this in the wrong thread at first, this is my first time using a forum, please have mercy.
