Ocarina of Time: Possible new bombchu route?

2012-09-09 09:50:07 am

No.

I've been interested in speedruns for nearly 5 years and Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask has always been my top 2. Earlier today I was playing OoT casually and I realized you could win bombchus at the bombchu bowling game in the Market. I'm sure this has crossed someones mind before, but why isn't this used? Surely it must be faster than the bottom of the well? And it leaves you just where you need to be.

You have to beat Dodongo's Cavern to be able to play bombchu bowling.

Check out this site, there is some very very good stuff on this site. They also have forums and IRC channel if you're interested in OoT. I'm very bad at this game Wink

Because you could otherwise win a bigger bomb bag without having found the smaller one. The developpers had thought of that one Wink

Anything you can do I can do halfass

Yup- the OoT devs thought of absolutely everything, which is why obviously all the low% strats are entirely developer intended and you can beat Gannon using deku sticks Wink

That said, anything that's just a locked door between you an an item might be worth revisiting looking for a clip to, and anything in a room with more than 1 entrance, particularly if some entrances aren't open until later in the game, may be worth looking at OOBing out of / into, all to get around the point at which the game determines that you're there too early.
