Themattman: Now he is going to the teleport that's close to lvl 4, so he could easier get to the dungeon later. After that he will save and quit. Going to the village and buy shovel, 20 bombs and yes, stealing the bow.

Yes, there are three keys in the Parallel Tower, so if you only got two, there's one more to be found ;). 2 are hidden in pots and one is lying on the ground. They can be obtained in both the Icy and the Light world. But I presume you already have passed that part, lol =P. Haven't played the second quest yet. I'm busy making Piece of Heart location FAQ and Boss FAQ for the first quest:).

Oh yeah, good note. I didn't think about that. Skipping the dungeon text owns^^. I'm going to test some u+r+d+l glitches now. Trying different combinations. I'm sure there are more ways to run for example.

Ok, this will make it easier for you to get the rupees you need, no doubt. I presume you will get rupees from the following places: 1. Flower 2. Moblin at the rock you need to lift near the teleport. 3. Flower again after you S&Q. 4. Bush outside Mabe Village. Correct?=)

In A Link to the Past, the Super Bomb will be triggered after dungeon 5 and 6. Has nothing to do with Zelda.

Then we need some useless to talk about. Any suggestions? We can talk about why it takes me 21 minutes to go to school! (Don't ask... I hadn't got any worse ideas.)

Yeah, hehe, I know about that. There's at least one more spot you can do that at:). It's fun when you press Start, because then you will here the "bounce into a wall" sound again and again... =) I'm soon done with a map of the guardhouse. Think I have to use a better method than screenshots + paint.

I forgot some things in the previous run... ;D. True, you did that against the boss... haha. Yes, I meant the underground before the boss, my bad. I presume it isn't that much slower to only use one bomb against the moldorm. And it would look neat with 0/0 :). So you can do that if you like!

I guess I can try... But it will very very hard=P. I'm doing a different project for the game now, so I haven't time to finish it. But be free to take the challenge, anyone^^.

Just find a thing you can do with the magic powder. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/3696/MagicPowder.vbm You can light the other torch from the spot I tried to do it from. But you need to get into "swimming mode", and I forgot order I need to press the keys in =P. I'm quite sure that it won't be faster actually. But it may come in handy at other places. Or else you could do it at the nightmare boss, that would look very nice:). Anyway, your WIP looks good. I have a few comments anyway: Why didn't you walk those few frames after opening a chest? You used to do before, isn't it faster? Probably not as you are pressing SSAB as soon as you can, correct...? In the underground before the miniboss: Woit faster to throw the pot on the platform, and then jump on the edge of it instead of falling? Wasn't it possible to make the genie appear closer to the door so you could take the heart piece faster? You'll need to manipulate 8 rupees on your way to the shop... You sure you can do that?:O Oh, and btw... You are going to the warp after the dungeon so you'll get to dungeon 4 quicker later I presume? Just go there and S&Q. EDIT: About the A&B route... I'll change it a bit so it is correct. I will also add a thing to the Fire Cave, see the movie=). The reason why you'll get the bombs in Turtle's Rock is that it's fastest that way. You have to get the arrows, and to get the arrows as early as possible will make you get the bombs too. Check my earlier post for the latest version of the route=P.

No idea... I could buy it after I finished Impa's Ways and Darunia's Cavern, those were the only dungeons I need to beat. You maybe only need to beat one of them, or do something else... Not sure=).

Yeah, it was somewhere in the forums. Here it is: http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g124/Tomtelala/ImpasWaysWalkthrough.png I have Darunia's Cavern and Nabooru's Hole as well. And I have started some kind of walkthrough project with this game. I'm going to make maps of all the houses, dungeons, caves etc. And position of all the items and such =) PAIN. EDIT: The small brown square is a chest. The one in the upperleft corner is the Big Key. And the other is the Big Chest Key. The big brown square is the Big Chest.

Those teleports can be very annoying. You do come to different places. It's quite hard to see though... You shall either make your own map and write down where you'll come if you take the teleport, or else you can check a map that already excists for it. But no, you shall never drop down a hole. Just keep trying:).

I'm not too suprised to be honest. These games are really annoying to TAS. Oh well, too bad...

Could it be faster to pitglitch here, if it works at all, instead of walking around? As it takes some time to switch items twice. EDIT: Here's something that will save time for sure http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/3662/S%26Q%20FTW.vbm You might save time this way at more places. Just found out that you can do it at the crocodile, not sure that it is faster though. EDIT2: Alright! Here's my improved Bomb&Arrow route! Overworld = 1 bombarrow (19 bombs 19 arrows) for pig. Kanalet = 4 arrows for Bomb Enemy (15), 1 bombarrow and one arrow (18 bombs 13 arrows) for hidden knight, 2 arrows(11) for ball%chain enemy. D3 = 3 bombs(15) for mini boss. 1 bombarrow(14 bombs 10arrows) for knightmare key. 1 bomb(13) for the clock bombs, take the bomb refills (16). One bombarrow for wall (15 bombs 9 arrows). Overworld = Possible double bombset to kill the worm? (13 bombs) D4 = 1 bombarrow(12 bombs 8 arrows) to blow bombblock. D5 = New Skeleton Master fight: Do a double bomb set, slash him and let him be hit of the bombs then lay another one. You shall be able to do like that. Saving an arrow is always good:) (9 bombs). Phase 2 and 3: Lay bomb and slash him into it and lay another bomb. (5 bombs). Take the bomb refill after phase 2 (15) Phase 4: Lay bomb, slash him into it and two bombarrows. (12 bombs and 6 arrows left.). *No arrow refills after the Face Key* D6 = Hit the switch, jump and take the arrows in the room with the wizzrobes (16 left).Go ahead and take the bombs on your way to the other wizzrobes (22 left). Do a double bomb set and kill the wizzrobes (20). Hookshot down, go left and kill the rabbits with a bomb (19). Double bombsetting FTW and kill the dodongos (13). Take the nightmare key, jump down and take the chest. S&Q to start. Go and kill the boss, same route as before, and same bosstactic :) (8 bombs left). Overworld = NEW! This would be faster than switching for the arrows http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/3698/Bombing.vbm. One bomb for the fire cave (7 bombs) D8 = 1 bombarrow (6 bombs 15 arrows) for switch room. Shoot the switch with an arrow (14) 2 bombarrows (4 bombs 12 arrows) needed for walls. 1 arrow (11) for statue to get key. Go down and get the bomb and arrow refills (14 bombs 21 arrows) D7 = 2 bombarrows (12 bombs 19 arrows) to get to the last pillar. D4 = Three bombarrows for the fish (9 bombs and 16 arrows). Last boss = 16 arrows (0 arrows and 9 bombs left in the end).

That's more like it Stef! :D You even did the flower part better, neat! Way to go, buddy ;). For dungeon 2: Light the left torch before the right one. When you're pushing the block to get to the miniboss: Push the left one first. After the mini boss, go up-right, instead of right-up. Good luck=).

It looked like it lagged a bit when you slashed the grass in the beginning of the forest. Could it be 1-2 frames if you didn't do that? =) You didn't jump in the "bow wow cave" when the door shut. Is it possible to skip the texts inside the "bow wow cave" with SSAB? I guess you have tried this... Just wanted to be sure. Let the "moblin boss" run in the wall below instead, that's closer. Very nice trick with the first flower, and fast eat manipulation :). That's all I can think of right now. Good job though.

Yes, you can push that block from the side. It isn't meant to be like it, but it's much faster:).

Kaz: I didn't feel for going up the tower once more, because that'll take so much time. And yes, the lvl 3 sword can hurt him, but I have to use spin attacks only... If Ganon hit me once, I'm dead, the fire can hit me twice though... And what annoys me even more: If I'm using the cape my magic will go "bye bye" very quickly. And if I use the cane, I can't do spin attacks... So I'm thinking of manipulate some money so I can buy a green potion. Or else remake the tower and get the master sword (Which I really can't be arsed to do ;D.)
