Because I playthrough before I record, and the playthrough before I speed through...so I've been writing down the times. Unfortunately, on the visual guide, I have to go slower, so the time is not as quick.

Again, it's not even a speedrun.

If you're going to be whiny about a non-speedrun, which is what you seem to be doing, then please just shut up because I'm just trying to guage times. I've been going back and forth between 3 SD save files and they all have different times, but according to what I've written down, with cutscenes, you can at least reach Lakebed Temple just between 4-4.5 hours, if not faster. And somebody has shown you can beat the game in 7 hrs and 29 mins skipping cutscenes.

7:29...yikes! It's almost scary. The games been out like 2 weeks for crying out loud. Shocked

Even tho you say its flawed, I do not think just any average gamer can get that time only 2 weeks after release...Im thinking your worst is most peoples best. Wink

Cool boss fight too. Grin

but I can't wait for the the GCN controller and hoping they ditch the spin-attack recharge....

Yeah.
I'm pretty sure it's similar to the Wind Waker as far as spin attacking goes.

Well..when I finish the game I will be doing alot more research then I have been.

I wasn't being whiny about a speedrun. I'm about 4 hours in at lakebed and I was just trying to see how my swift play compared to your visual guide and such.

I was just trying to clarify, sheesh.

I'm not THAT bad.

I feel like throwing together some segments then keep improving and make a run. :-/ But first before any of that I have some questions.

1. Anyone have any fishing techniques? I tried mastering it but it's kinda random (maybe)

2. Got a good rupee route or will I just make my own?

3. Can some one clarify the best way to end segment one?

4. How many segments could we split the first Ordon part into? 2, 3, 1? (twenty three is number one... ironic.)

5. Is jumpslashing stronger then spin attacking? Just verifing.

Ok I'll go play TP's beggining now.

BTW I'm gonna register soon >_<

I still haven't figured out segments...sometimes I thought I was at a great save point, but it warped me to a weird starting point.

However, the best saves points for sure are: Entering a dungeon and after you beat one. After you beat one, you are prompted to save automatically - that's awesome.

The only issue is the "in-between" parts.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Maybe after the slingshot?

Where does that put you?

TSA, I don't think Cyberwrath was trying to be whiny, he was just confused by a couple different times. Oh, and TSA, are you going to be speeding through the game just to see how fast you can do it? Not a speedrun, but just to give us an idea of what to shoot for. Although, it looks like ZooM already did that.:P

Well, I just ruined the final battle for myself, I just couldn't help it. Anyway, nice Ganondorf battle.

7:29 without cutscenes sounds possible. remember how cutscenes ate time in the OoT runs?

the timer and skip cutscenes button sure make this game more speed run friendly. it's quite odd to see speed run friendly stuff in a Zelda game... and now the glitches people are finding.

also, can't wait to play the GC version.

From GameFAQs:

Magnetic Ceiling Glitch
This can be done wherever there is a magnetic ceiling, such as the first one encountered in Death Mountain Mines.

First equip the boots to the D-pad but don’t put them on. Go under the magnetic field and equip the boots. In mid flight up to the ceiling press the - button and put an item where the iron boots were on the D-pad, and make sure the Iron boots are not anywhere on the D-Pad. Unpause the game and finish flying onto the ceiling. You should be on the ceiling with the Iron boots off and you will stay there and be able to walk faster.

To get down walk off the magnetic part of the ceiling or equip and unepuip the Iron Boots.

-------

That will rule if it works.

-slingshot
-save/quit

Segment 3

-Sword
-Teach kids
-ride Epona to key.
-ride to forest Temple

No one likes my route? Cry

Anyway...

Segment 6
-Sword and shield
-save/quit

Segment 7 (possibly two segments, possibly)
-light spirits

Segment 8 or 9
-To forest temple

followed by approxomently 1, 2, or 3 forest temple segments. Most likely starting a new segment after the gale boomering.

And that trick is sweet Cheesy

a possible route

I honestly don't see why you need quite that many segments. I'd say make the first segmennt start-of-game to Forest Temple. Sure it's long, but there's nothing difficult in that part, either.

Well what's the disadvanteges? I'm sure it would be at least one minute faster if we made that many segments.

Besides, goat herding and fishing feel to random >_<

BlueGlass

2006-12-05 03:15:44 am

Yep yep yep!

Disadvantages are the time it takes to save, savewarping sending you further from your destination, stuff like that. Of course, if it's discovred that saving somewhere is helpful, then I see no reason to not.

coolcwer/triforce

2006-12-05 03:17:36 am

I'm not THAT bad.

I know for a fact that at least 5 segments savewarps can be helpful :/

Saving is quick too.

Just a question, do you own this game? It is kinda challenging to do an hour long segment. . .

2006-12-05 03:23:20 am

Existence as you know it is over

save warps are only useful if they bring you closer to where you need to be. other than that, you can just combine some segments into one.

Hi, new to SDA here Smiley

There were some posts about a rupee route... why not just get the rupee (I think it was a purple rupee) in the chest in the basement of Link's house? I only checked there after I got the lantern and lit the area, but concievably you can just remember where the chest is (it's in the back of the room) and grab it. Or maybe it's not worth the time it takes to climb back up the ladder (though doubt that)? I don't quite remember how many rupees are in there, but if it's more than 20 then I'd say it's worth it.

I already checked. You can't get it without the lantern. And yes, it is a purple rupee.
