0. Using the longshot, I was able to aim at a certain point so that Link slides off the tree branch and directly into the temple, saving 2-3 seconds. I am not sure if this is possible with the regular hookshot, but it's worth looking into.
Main differences:
1. Obviously, Acryte's "Ultimate FT Sequence Break" is quite a challenge in itself. Good luck!
2. Since you said it yourself, collect the small key from the Floormaster in callout 10 rather than the chest in the entrance chamber, if doing so is indeed faster.
3. At callout 5, you'll need to use explosive hovers, since you don't have the necessary strength upgrades to push the blocks.
4. If the boss key can be obtained early via explosive hovers, follow the white route from callout 9 onwards. This will involve going up to the bow, deathwarping, and starting back from the entrance.
5. If the boss key cannot be obtained early, then follow the black route all the way through and return to the main chamber through the courtyard.
The old run took six minutes, and obviously you can expect to add on a few more this time around.Yeah, the explanation last time in Guano's comments was bleak at best for those who were watching OOT speedrunned for the first time...and JXQ's commentary, while hilarious, was uninformative (sorry :( )... maybe Guano should do the commentary track this time round explaining everything he couldn't in the submission comments?
I made this vid about 2 months ago. Never uploaded it. This was my theory for sequence breaking Forest. Too bad it didn't turn out. When you superslide after the vid starts, the movement is locked and so the superslide has no momentum, and you end up supersliding in place. This is crap. This means you have to use other magic spells and items to manipulate the timing of the bomb while time for the cutscene timer is not elapsing. This way you can have the bomb blow up before the cutscene starts, and also have the superslide be initiated. Then you can superslide onto the elevator as it goes down AND once it reaches the bottom... you can get back on and ride it up. Skipping all the poes. Then you just need to get the boss key and bow.
Here's what happens when you enter the lift early, I was trying to do it in a legit way on Mupen earlier but unfortunately it didn't work for the reason shown in the video, plus it literally needed to be frame perfect to activate the superslide without getting damaged, but amusing none the less. When I get trapped in the elavator I levate to land back on the lift again, but I'm sure it would work with a backflip also. http://files.filefront.com/Project64_2007_01_25_16_5Wavi/;6611307;;/fileinfo.html
this isn't a simple tas, especially with all the desyncs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq-qsOETxcY I cannot get to the elevator, I dont know why. I do exactly like in the video but for some reason in the video at 24 seconds, my guy wont do that. What am I doing wrong?
Anyway, I think these tricks can be done to entirely destroy Forest Temple http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq-qsOETxcY (to go to the rotating platform - problem is the texture loading I guess)
Why do we go to fire temple again? I thought we are going to use the hard ganon early method and not the bombhovering one...
I thought the plan was to get the lon lon ranch bottle when going to lake hylia, why is that slower?
Cucco collection takes 2:37 from entering the area to obtaining the bottle. From entering Lake Hylia for the first time to collecting the Bottle in the old run takes 2:01; However, King Zora takes a full minute to shuffle sideways if you show him the bottle (to get Ruto's letter out of it). This also does not count time saved from crossing Hyrule Field an extra time. The Cuccos are faster.
Sigh? Why sigh? I actually found a good strategy to get the dead hand in 1 cycle and have his barrier come up while he is still out so I can get damage done to me to get killed by a bomb and not save/continue from the beginning of the temple to save a good minute of backtracking :) As of right now, I am at Death Mountain Trail almost about to blow up the boulders to get to the Great Fairy and my time is: 1 Hour and 23 Minutes EDIT: I am ~ 23 minutes ahead of my current run Also, I managed to kill the 2 Red Tektites(I had to get it by the frame) to get 10 bombs! Putting me at 12/12 bombs/chus!!!!
uhm.. I know this sounds stupid, but can anyone make/find a save file for this game after coompleted Dodongo Cavern, to mupen?
So far, no desynchs after the race. Good news: I completed the race 1 second "Game Time" faster than my previous run in the race! After reaching the graveyard after getting squished by the door, I am at 1 Hour and 19.0 Minutes. So, the next thing to do now is Shadow Temple(hover boots) then exit, Great Fairy(magic meter), Forest Temple(Fairy Bow) then beat boss. Ill post the WIP after Link gets the hover boots.
To reach my goal, I have exactly 45 minutes to finish the game. Woot!
As for making a video of everything to this point.... I'll wait until Guano is at the master sword for real. It would take probably 6 hours of letting the emulator run through, and then triple that to encode to a manageable size. And I have no idea if the sound will stay in sync. But I'll try. I'll ask in advance. would you want it to be 320x240 (bitrate ~240 like the current published run) or 512x384 (bitrate ~300, all the latest wips have been this).
