Here's a starting WIP for the test run... It's up until the deku tree entrance... So it's pretty much the same crap as usual, but I'm not taking any deku sticks. Remember it's not fully optimized so don't flame telling me it's not frame perfect... :) To DEKU TREE Edit: I'll keep using PaToby as the in-game name, and not "A". Because I can.

I'll try to get a test run going when I get home from work... (in about 2 hours). And see what the response is. And maybe I'll get a better idea if it is intertainning or not?! (also get an estimated ending time) It's lame to be doing nightshift in a server room. *yawn*

Ok I see, than I might need some help, and if BA was to be used for a low% it might not be worth it against the any%... So I'd end up with 2 bottles, deku stick, slingshot, seeds, and bullet bag to do bottle adventure. But I would save on... mirror shield? I'm not too familliar with the items you end up with in the new any%... so fire away. (What items are required for BA,... and what items do you end up with.)

Well the goal of a low% is to pick only the minimum required to beat the game. All low% runs of any games would be improved in time by picking more items... I don't understand your point.

I don't think RBA could be used for a low%. Since even if it was to give you only the absolutely minimum set of items (right now it gives you bunch of medallions/songs/items/equips not required)... you would still have bottles... and deku sticks. Which are skippable.

@AKA: I didn't post this in the main topic because I get lost in it... however I wouldn't ming if Bisqwit was to merge the topics. And was your comment about the route being far from low% aimed at ZFG's or DJLO? Because ZFG's route is a lot closer to a low% than DJLO's... All I would end up with is: Kokiri tunic Kokiri boots Hover boots Master Sword Hilyan Shield Mirror Shield 3 spiritual stones Light, shadow, spirit medallion Zelda's lullaby Song of time Prelude of light Deku nuts Fairy ocarina Zelda's letter Bombchus Bomb bag & bombs Magic meter (or can you use light arrow without?) Boomerang Ocarina of time Hylian shield Hover boots Bow, arrows & quiver Light arrow No bottle, no scale, no deku sticks, no slingshot/seeds/bag, no hookshot, no magic beans, no minuet of forest, no bracelet/gauntlet, no RoS/gerudo membership... etc. If anything else in this route is skippable let me know. (Magic meter maybe) The route is similar to Guano's run, but will differ a lot from the upcoming any% with RBA. I think the entertainment value of this run will be above watching adult link backflipping a few times and dropping a fish, to suddenly sing a song he's never learned and have items he's never picked up. Although I believe it is remarkable to clear OoT in less than 1h45, I also think it might be interesting to have a run show more of the game, still have a clear goal, and being easier to understand for viewers while not being WAY LONGER like a 100% would be).

Ok it's been discussed here before, and I would like to get serious about this one now. It's christmas time I've got a couple of weeks off, and nothing better to do than give this a shot. I'm not familiar enough with MQ to start on that, and can't stand to play on any other game than OoT for an extensive period of time. Now is this what people would agree on being a low% run for OoT or is there something I'm missing? Kokiri Forest -Kokiri Sword -Wooden Shield Deku tree -Deku nuts ---Skulltula Vine glitch ---Ghoma with deku nuts -1st stone Kokiri Forest -Fairy Ocarina Hyrule castle -Zelda's Lullaby -Zelda's Letter Kakariko Village ---BotW early ---Skulltula glitch for bombchu's Dodongo's Cavern ---Bomchu megaflip to bomb bag -Bomb bag & bombs -2nd stone Death mountain -Magic Meter Zora's river ---Owl skip ---Waterfall skip Zora's domain ---King Zora's skip Jabu-Jabu's belly ---Enter without fish ---Bombchu to hit switch in 1st room --Boomerang ---Megaflip towards boss room -3rd stone Hyrule Field ---Superslide into cutscene -SoT -Ocarina of time -Master Sword -Light Medallion Graveyard -Hylian shield ---Shadow Temple early Shadow Temple ---Mega flip gap -Hover boots ---Through the wall using manual superslide ---Bomb hover to boat wheel ---Boss key trick ---Super slide to boss room -Shadow Medallion Gerudo Valley ---Superslide/Megaflip across the bridge ---Bomb hover over wall ---Adult Gate skip ---Cross wasteland Spirit temple ---Silver gauntlet block skip ---Hit crystal with bombchu -Mirror Shield ---Bomb hover to boss door -Spirit Medallion -Light Arrow Sacred forest meadow ---Bomb jump to skip gards ---Bomb hover to skip Minuet cutscene ---Bombchu Hover in Forest Temple Forest Temple ---Mega jump ---Block room skip -Bow & Arrows & Quiver Ganon's Castle ---Trials Skip <Kill> ---Superslide into Ganon <Kill> Obviously, no heart containers/pieces, no golden skulltula. IMHO, the run differs from an any% enough to be worthwhile. Let me know what you all think. Credits go to ZFG for the low% route. This route is for a regular segmented speedrun, but I don't think anything else can be skipped even in a TAS. Comfirmation of this as well, please?
