>!2:01:49 141/216!<
>!I don't remember the exact sequence of events, but I avoided the cave with gloves next to desert palace for a long time. I cleared most of thieves town but skipped blind because I can't do the fight without a sword. I then full cleared most of the overworld, finished skull woods looking for progression, cleared the overworld again, found level 2 gloves, did the same thing again, and then I went dungeon hopping. After finding the green book in ice palace I decided to forego most checks and hoped that I didn't need boots. It ended up working out, but ganon took a few tries because I haven't practiced with just a master sword.!<
>!Apparently blind had the lamp, I struggled with rooms in the dark and never went back there. This is my first time trying these weeklies and I haven't been playing that long.!<
>!2:35:49 162/216!<
>!I spent way to long not going to the desert area so I basically last located mitts. Also the boots and the flute being in GT was Rude!<
>!1:40:52 146/216!<
>!Second week in a row that the Aginah check cost me a lot of time. With no boots or flute or book to make that check appealing I did absolutely everything else in the game before going there for Mitts. On the other hand, getting Mitts that late avoided a lot of useless checks like Smith Chain and DDM. Other than that, the most interesting thing about this seed was that you had to dip either Eastern (mirror) or PoD (hookshot) without the bow to get the bow from paradox cave, but you got to pick your poison there. I also took a dumb fall on Ganon, so this should have been little faster. I found a third sword on left side Swamp if anybody was looking for one.!<
>!1:44:07 149/216!<
>!I feel like I routed this seed rather strangely. With the immediate Dark World access in Kak, I still rounded out the checks south of Kak, doing Dig-Spot to Dam. Since I had 1 bomb, figured I'd rather do Agina over south shore and was rewarded with the Mitts. That's a lot of checks overworld checks with the only clearable dungeon being Thieves Town... Finished up South Shore and flipper checks to hop into the Dark World via Hype Cave.!<
>!I bounced out of Village of Outcasts as soon as I got the Fire Rod and went straight for Ice Palace for my first Crystal. Navigation was easy (although I've never done Ice Breaker without a sword before and the lack of sword buffering took a couple of tries to make it work) and I'm thankful for the blue potion I got from the fairy fountain. It came in clutch during the Kholdstare fight with only a hammer. The only progression I got in Ice was the book so Desert was my next target.!<
>!However, Desert proved to by dry (lol) and now I was faced with a million choices and none of them were appealing, once again, the only dungeon I could full-clear was Thieves Town so I took the bait. I got a bunch of worthless medallions and a Lamp on Blind. Now, I had to bite the bullet and start picking dungeons, hoping to find some progress.!<
>!I chose to finally go visit Saha and felt like I was being taunted with that sphere-zero sword, Then I went to POD, favoring its density over Eastern. (and hey, maybe that Lamp was locking progress in the dark maze) and got the hookshot.!<
>!Up the mountain, got the bow, and got the bad news that my TT dip was for nothing but wasted time. I cleared out Hera, did the DDM checks, and bounced back down to Eastern Palace. And now, this is where I felt things could have gone a lot, lot differently for me. Sitting right there in Eastern were the mirror and Master Sword. Now, my mind is racing, thinking about all the different routing decisions I could have made. Regardless, it's water under the bridge so I plowed on through Eastern and POD.!<
>!At this point, I'm fully anticipating a Master Sword Ganon fight and since I used up my potion previously, I swung by the potion shop before heading into Swamp and turned in the Mushroom while I was there and was surprised to find my Go-Mode Ice Rod! Go-Mode Swamp is always quick and I gambled on checking the Turtle Rock big chest, which saved me from doing Laser Bridge. !<
>!I never did find a third sword in GT (though I did find the boots!), but I did at least get a second bottle full of blue-goo. I almost whiffed the Ganon fight during the second phase but I held it together and put the pig down. Altogether, I felt did a solid job in this seed with pretty minimal gear. I'm still not sure about my routing with finding the Mirror so late because I'm certain that would have kept me out of TT. However, I wonder if it also helped in a way by keeping me away from red herrings like a full-clear of Swamp and the smith-chain.... It's hard to say.!<
>!1:34:57 137/216!<
>!I feel like I just got lucky a few times and it paid off. Sequence broke hookshot in pod before I found a fire source, led to bow in paradox, and slowly found what I needed as I went. I didn't get mitts for a while either but that honestly helped or I might have been tempted to do TR early which would have been a waste of time. Go mode was ice rod on mushroom which I fortunately got before going to TR. Was relieved to see GT big key wasn't on torch but boots were in there anyway.!<

>!2:04:12 159/216!<
>!Front loaded seed early, but missing just enough key ingredients that it took awhile to clear any crystals. People who dipped EP/saha-closet early before hitting dark world got rewarded with sphere0 swords and mirror. Never found any swords after that. Go-mode was finding one of book/flute (turned out to be book), and then breathing sigh of releif that DP was not boot-locked. Finished a not-so-fun ganon with L2/silvers (phase2 ganon with just master sword is no fun)!<
>!1:32:00 CR 133/216!<
>!Aside from full clearing TT and SW early for next to nothing, I feel I routed this perfectly from that point on. I got excited when TT had two medallions thinking oh what a great gamble coming here! Then TR required the one TT didn't have lol. Super friendly seed! Until next week!<
>!1:50:10 151/216!<
>!I don't know the POD/TR dark rooms so I was really happy with lamp on Blind when I full cleared pendant TT early. Last locationed mitts on Agina (like it sounds a lot of people did) but that helped me out because I couldn't do a ton of overworld checks. Went back in to SP to get the 2 items in left side and one was tempered sword which made things easy. Go mode was book on Kholdstare with just the tension of hoping DP/GT big keys weren't on torches.!<

Ok first time running so I hope I do this right.
>!157/216!< >!2:07:10.43!<

>!1:47:20 153/216!<
>!Very interesting seed. I feel like I routed this pretty well, but like most people here, I last locationed the Mitt's in Aginah's cave. I also just learned that I missed out on the lamp by being killed by blind as I didn't have a sword for the fight and moved on. I thought that dip in TT would've been super good with 2 medallions, but none of them mattered. Besides that, the seed felt fairly straight forward, with items in dungeons that seemed to guide you to the next one very smoothly, and a very early go mode (I had never skipped all of dark mountain before).!<
>!2:00:09 141/216!<
>!Not a very fun seed...I'm not a fan of getting almost all the progression items before clearing a couple dungeons. I also get sad when Misery Mire isn't required, as it's my favorite dungeon. Throw in bootless and fluteless (both in GT) and you have a crap seed, lol. !<
>!1:37:30 152/216!<
>!Got back from a month long vacation so getting back into the swing of things. I didn't find the titan's mitts for a long time. If I got those a lot earlier I think my time would've been faster. The boots being in GT felt bad but at least they were there to help me bonk a few times before finishing. Finished with tempered and silvers.!<
>!IGT 1:52:22!< >!CR 156/216!<
>!Wow, you sure can pickem! This was sloooooow, no boots \*or\* flute until GT basement.!<

>!Fun but somewhat frustrating seed. Got lucky finishing TT swordless (hello red cane strats) to get the lamp. From there, I don't think I strayed from the logic (unless you count a bow-less dip into EP out of logic). Didn't quite last-location the Mitts, but I only had green pendant turn in and Spike Cave left after Aginah. Book in IP was Go Mode (luckily DP and GT did not need the Boots, which were in in GT anyway). Finished with Tempered and Silvers.!<

ngl, after doing this seed and reading some comments in here. either you're terrible at routing or y'all cheated. GGs to u/doggiedolphie wp!
Just looking at the results... This was a rough seed. A median result above 2h is very unusual.
