Oh, it was faster to go around it:O. Hmm, odd... Oh well, good then:). You shall still be able to get the rupee without losing time, but yeah. You can really think about the rupees later:). All bout the ten on Crescent is needed for the goron place, hehe. What a waste of money to dance... Yeah, I know you will lose time on it. Just wanted to see how it would look like=).

You shall have go above the bush you burned instead of walking besides it. that would save some frames:). Avoid walking into the grass sometimes. In the village at the old man and in the forest near dungeon 2. Nice at Vasu, haha:D. Didn't know that you could walk down there. If you need to slash the red slime thing on your way to the mystery seeds, try to make it drop some rupees. And I'm just curious: What happens if you, after you have taken the seeds, glitch over the holes again and walk around to the screen where the soldier catches you? ;D Nice job anyway! A little trick, as you may know already, when you have the feather you can charge your sword, jump and release it on your way down and then jump again. This won't cause you to lose time while using the sword. Quite neat actually:).

but could it be possible to do Iggy's castle without having to grab the fence at the end
It is possible in the PAL version, It could be able to wall jump in the end instead of grabbing the fence though. Would that be faster...?

Yes, the warped glitch run. For example: You can speak to Tarin from a better position. And you shall use the L+R glitch to take the sword. There may be even more things, just don't know about them at the moment...

I have been walking around just as you on that way. And every chest I have opened had a power bracelet in it. Have no idea why that's the only item that comes up... But I haven't get something els. And the glitched run could be improved, we just need someone willing to do it=P.

Oh crap, another idea ruined:(. Let's see... ;D. If you drop the bomb while walking...? Guess you tried that;). IT MUST BE POSSIBLE!!! ARGH!!:D Oh good, I thought you could save some timing entering a building and then S&Q, didn't do any researchs though. Well done. Here's for E_alert: http://files.filefront.com/Ricky_and_Dimitrirar/;6220439;;/fileinfo.html It contains 2 save states. One is a Ricky save file and one is for Dimitri. Now it is easy to test which one is the fastest. Save state 1 is Ricky and 9 is Dimitri.

Very nice! It looks much better now. Good that you remade that part with the Maku Tree:). I came about with an little idea... Can you pit glitch while carrying something...? I so, you can take a bomb, walk throw it and you will be damage boosted for Tingle Early:D. Could that work? Hehe, I haven't given up this yet, haha. (Because then I have to change my walk through...)

What if... if... :D. You have got the toss ring and throw a bomb to the switch, haha. Yeah... I know you can't get in the right position so the bomb will get to the switch, but still. I give up:(. Thanks for trying Vespa.

Haha, you are crazy Comicalflop :D:D. If it could work this would be very entertaining to see!! (At least in my eyes:).) I've actually no idea how you could do it, but still=).

Too bad:(. Would have been nice... Haha, I knew it;D. I was using my well trained real time eye (Or something). EDIT: Was looking through your tingletest again, trying to find a way to get it to work anyway:). What if you left at frame 540 and go down after that...?

Nope, the diagram was a section of the lower path that you can't get past because of the solid blocks. So you can't get past there either way. Anyways, the new run has been going smoothly. So far, I've been able to manipulate perfectly. I also got a much better setup in the room with the ghost(he started in the lower left corner). I'll be done the level pretty soon at this pace.
Oh that sucks!! Must be able somehow:(. Can you show me your best attempt? Good that your run is going on nicely! You didn't test the thing with the shovel either, did you?

Yeah, I agree with those three rings, Stef. Can you please check if it is faster to slash with the sword after you have dug? :) I think it is some frames faster.

Oh... But you can still pit glitch and slash the switch with the sword, not? That mean you can still take that shortcut, even if it makes it a little slower:).

I don't know about luck manipulation so much, not at all really:). I'm on TASvideos IRC channel quite often now more. Besides that I'm using MSN, which I have added you on now, if you are using it at all Lol... You can get the upgraded ring box after level two, in Mayor Plen's House. And you shall use the pass at the same time as the level 2 sword, which will be after dungeon 4. Then you can wear 3 rings. So you shall put one more that may save some time. Don't know which one is best at the moment but... I can research some with that as well. Hmm, I'm actually quite bad of those kinds of testing, I haven't cared to learn about the "TAS "rules" " about frames and so. So I don't think I'm the right person to test about swimming, sorry.' Yepp, the heart containers will fill up your hearts. I was thinking... If you are using the Power Ring lvl 3, you can hardly do any damage boosting... It will kill you at once:). You shall use Dimitri instead of Moosh in your pass. It has to be faster at the carpenters using him. Or...?

Will be a pain for you I presume:). When you still are remaking it all from there, then you can try to manipulate the enemies even more. Guess it's gonna take a while, and I hope you have the patience for it:D. I can honestly say that I haven't got that...

Hehe, yeah, I haven't tried to manipulate it so I honestly don't know how hard it is:). But I know that it is very hard. I'm looking through my 100% testrun of LA at the moment... Looking for new routes and tricks and stuff. As I'm done with both the dungeon routes and the overworld routes to both Seasons and Ages I can improve my routes on LA instead:).

Is it only going down...? So no up/left/right then? Because then I only know one place that this could be useful. And it's the holes right before dungeon 1. Which will save like 1-2 second or something. But still a good find:).

Haven't checked all yet... But did someone try if it was faster to slash with your sword just after you have dug ...? You should have read my Ages Overworld Route Guide, Vespa. Because, you should start speaking to the Maku tree one pixel to the left, so the Ember Seeds will fall to the right. And to go right instead of down is faster. Oh, so you have to make the moving platform appear anyway... Anyway, nice. But it just wasn't perfect at the maku tree...

In dungeon 5 you have to jump past the fire, and this costs 1½ heart anyway. Making double hits on Onox, by hitting Din too, cost 1 heart. Those are the places I know at the moment that will cost more, or, one heart. When you get to dungeon 2, try to manipulate a bomb drop in the bush so you will have 10 in the dungeon. You can easily fill up your bombs later in the dungeon. EDIT: And about the last boss, when he uses Din as a shield, if you charge your sword you can jump over him and release it without hitting Din, and as you need the Cape later anyway you won't lose anytime of it, you won't need to switch to the rod just:).
