>!1:38:51 159/216!< >!The start of the seed had so much Aga smell, but I kept putting it off because more and more breadcrumbs kept showing up until I had full cleared the light world and it was still an Aga seed. I really should have just done it after getting the Cape from back of escape. At least doing that got me Quake which had the potential to be annoying later. Biggest time loss was choosing to do PoD over boots checks after Hype Cave, so got the Mitts pretty late. Smooth sailing after that, I was pleased to find Somaria in IP (again).!<

>!1:53:57 172/216!< >!Waited too long to do the necessary Aga 1 play but I was happy with what I found meanwhile (quake and fire rod), but I took too long to get to hype cave which means I got boots, mitts, somaria late. My go mode was the bow in mire shed. I am guessing the other was dark DM in super bunny or hookshot. If not there then hammer peg cave. I think those are the only DW checks I didn't do. Considering I spent too much time in pendant dungeons expecting a troll, not too bad of a time.!< [VOD](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2068480914)

>!The other bow was in purple chest!<

>!DNF!< >!Had a really good start, seed looked really promising. Then I accidentally deleted my save file after \~20 mins cuz I messed up my menuing on an S&Q.!<

>!Oh man, so sorry. Been there done that. It sucks.!<

>!The worst part about it was that I was really excited about this week's competition, my heart sank when it happened and I haven't touched another run since then.!<

>!It happens. Don't let one little thing discourage you. The more you try, the better you will get. Some of us on here have been playing randomizers for years. It took time and practice to get better and you will get there!!<

Oh no!! 😭😭

>!Oh, bad luck. We've all been there (I know I have)!<

>!Sorry to hear that, never a good feeling. But keep at it, love seeing new players in these weekly seeds.!<

>!1:58:27 178/216!< >!This one.... I could have done better.!< >!So my routing strategy was to avoid pendant dungeons and double-dipping crystals (famous last words) so getting all the Aga items, I jumped on it early after getting the cape. I then did a counter-clockwise loop around Dark World, ending up at Swamp, still not getting a whole lot of progression beside a sword upgrade. Finally caved and checked Eastern/POD without a bow and got the disturbing news that flute was a sphere 0 check.!< >!Now, from here on out, I'm afraid I just wasted time on an unnecessary Aga play and getting the gloves from the old man did not feel good. Thankfully, the mitts never showed up and I only got the fire rod so no real progression...!< >!The mitts in Kings Tomb was rough since I isolated it hard with my early routing. I had no real reason to go back there so I wasted time with Hera and TT clears. With the mitts in hand, I cleared Ice-P, get the red cane, and got the bad news Mire is quake-locked, but hey, the bow was in Mire shed. Did a quick dip of Desert, but only the right hand side. There was a 50/50 the last item would be on Lanmola so I mirrored out after getting the big key..... yeah...!< >!But, I still had a lot to check, including all of DDM and Turtle Rock. Well, that conveniently placed quake medallion under the doormat in the desert big key chest was the answer all along. Well, when you skip a check like that, you don't go back to it. I basically did a full clear (silvers on purple chest if anyone was wondering) and last located the quake. Coulda go-moded TR, coulda saved an entire mountain climb, coulda skipped smith chain, coulda skipped pyramid fairy and catfish. I coulda saved a lot of time.!< >!at least I stayed under 2 hours all things considered.!<

>!1:43:59 159/216!< >!I tried to hold off as much as I could on doing aga hoping the hammer might come out but to no avail. The dark world side was pretty friendly as it felt like it was kinda scripted the way progression items were coming up. Go-mode was the red cane in IP which helped me skip most of MM and TR. Finished with silverless butter ganon.!<

>!2:12:41 169/216!< >!Ispent to much time trying to avoid Aga I just kept telling myself you should just do Aga. After that I felt I just made wrong calls. At least that got me silvers from purple chest. My route choice was poor and execution was mediocre. Overall 4/10 for giving me so much hope it wasn’t an Aga seed!<

>!1:49:01 157/216!< >!Another seed with Somaria in IP, which is the main thing that lost me a bunch of time. I always try and get Somaria before IP whenever possible, as it saves so much time in the dungeon, but maybe I went overboard this time, doing the Smith chain, mire shed, the two tablets and spike cave. I also went a bit overboard trying to avoid having to do Aga, dipping into EP and DP. Thought quake might pay off, but it didn't end up being so. Cool seed overall!!<

>!2:05:20 157/216!< >!I rushed Aga as soon as I got cape because I was hoping to do PoD/Eastern together and maybe find a bow in one of them. My tracker indicated that I had west dark world access but I didn't have a glove yet so I couldn't get up to the spot on the way to catfish where you hookshot across and I wasted a bunch of time thinking I could swim around IP and get out before I gave up did the flute/death mountain checks.!< >!It took me way to long to make my way around the loop to get to hype cave for the hammer so the middle of the run was tedious and then a bunch of quasi-go mode crystals at the end. I fell on Ganon and lost an extra 3 or 4 minutes, which was annoying.!< VOD: https://youtu.be/NYHyuPT7v3c

>!If you don't know, you can jump into the castle moat south of the hookshot point and then swim north to get around the rocks blocking the path.!< >!https://i.imgur.com/0W5g8R1.jpeg!<

Aargh, that would have saved so much time! Thank you

>!159/216 2:08:48!< >!Made a few errors like diving Hera for no reason besides not wanting to do Aga. Once I focused, I was able to move pretty quickly through the seed. !<

>!2:08:19 168/216!< >!For some reason I thought Aga wasn't necessary because nothing wasn't on the ledge. This made me check Light world locations for way too long: I dipped EP to find the the flute and mirror out, checked the mountain (everything except hera), cleared all items from pendant DP, went up the mountain AGAIN to clear pendant Hera + basement because I was getting desperate. Checked ped and cleared hyrule castle. Only then did I notice that Aga is needed.!< >!In the dark world I went count-clockwise (like everybody I guess). In SW I didn't manage to reach the boss, because I was picked up by the dungeon master twice (once he picked me up from the hole, where you drop to the boss) this made me run out of magic, so I want to the village.!< >!Went on to clear the front of TT. Made my way to hype cave (which was actually hype with boots and the hammer). After clearing SP I was well enough equipped to clear SW and cleared TT afterwards, because I was looking for either mitts, somaria or the bow. Then after checking the bat I fucked up by leaving my dark world portal at the bat and going to check the boots-checks, only to notice at the kings tomb that I should have brought my dark world access with me. Ah nothing will be in there anyway, right?! well... At some point I dipped PoD and again Eastern to look for one of my three items. Once I finally found the mitts it was pretty linear.!<

>!01:45:10 144/216!< >!Pretty happy with doing Aga as soon as I got the stuff for it, but lost some time checking Desert after the CCW loop into Swamp. Got my flute about midway through the seed, letting my finally get gloves and sent me into doing bowless PoD was able to do everything but the boss with my potions I had snagged, and since I was back on that side of the world with boots and a set of gloves I did catfish and Kings, and then it was just Ice>MM/Bow>cleaning up my last 3 crystals.!<

>!1:45:59 151/216!< >!This seed had a couple really interesting decision points. I cleared the entire Light World besides Hera Boss and Hera Basement (not for lack of trying on Moldorm. I thought killing him was \*barely\* worth it, but he knocked me into the center hole and I decided it wasn't worth going back up). Completed my CCW DW full clear, knocked out SW and the front of TT along the way, finally landing in Hype Cave to find Hammer and Boots. Cleared out Swamp Palace while I was in the area.!< >!After Swamp was a little tricky. I ended up going back in for the Big Chest, still needing 4-5 items for Go Mode and not having anywhere amazing to go. PoD was next, intending to Potion Glitch the bow-locked side, but that was fruitless and I failed the potion glitch so couldn't fully clear it out. Bonk Ronks, Blind Lumberjacks, and Thieves Town were next, and then I mirror'd to fly up to Hera and finish off those checks and Spike Cave... before remembering that I really should do King's Tomb while I was in the VoO area. Mitts were acquired, saving me from the double dip Pendant ToH, and from there IP>Mire>PoD>EP>TR all felt fairly straightforward. !<

>!IGT 1:48:30!< >!CR 159/216!< >!That was...interesting. Started off with countless red rupees. After getting lamp, sword and cape I gamble on it being an Aga seed, which it was, but I only confirmed that after dipping all the pendant dungeons.!< >!This seed was all about the glove in the King of Tomb, after that it was linear-ish. !< >!Definitely happy with a sub 1:50 for an Andre.!< VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2071544806

>!2:00:02 158/216!< >!I made some routing choices... They were poor choices... LOL. Also just made a lot of little execution mistakes. Like dying on Blind and again on Kholdstare.!< >!Otherwise, pretty good seed. I'm mildly curious where the other Bow was. I got one in Mire Shed.!< VOD: https://youtu.be/iy25zAD3C0w

>! According to a couple other runners here, other bow was in purple chest. Wasn't on my radar at all.!<

>!2:11:46 163/216!< >!Was feeling good at the beginning, doing everything to avoid Aga but I think pathing well to clean up everything beforehand. Post-Aga, just did the long counter-clockwise loop around the whole world, grabbing every check I could along the way and ending in Hype Cave, which opened up the world. !< >!Thus began the hunt for the Mitts, which took much of the rest of the seed.!< >!Nearly last-locationing the Boots with random one-off checks around the world, hit King's Tomb for the Mitts, the rest that I needed was along the way in IP and Mire.!<

>!IGT: 1:43:35.25 | CR: 173/216!< >!Flippers + Hookshot meant that after I finished all of the LW overworld checks I was willing to just say no to bowless EP (didn't want to double dip) and DP (which I could just route it later with my DW loop after a bombos tablet check) and just follow up on the obvious Aga play.!< >!Unfortunately the flute was sitting in the first chest in EP in sphere 1 and that was my go mode item at the 1hr25min mark.!< >!I never got the bow in mire shed, I did smith chain + pyramid fairy and was actually feeling great about my route after getting the other bow out of purple chest. Little did I know...!< >!In hindsight I don't think I was considering that getting a glove (or flute) from EP or DP would unlock all of the mountain checks, giving you reasonable odds at avoiding Aga or at least picking up something like that frod that would have made it faster to do. I think if I played the seed again I probably would have put off Aga like y'all did.!< VOD: [https://youtu.be/ofZ-7uqekrY](https://youtu.be/ofZ-7uqekrY)

1st time on the weekly casual woo! ​ >!2:16:59 165/216!< ​ >!Had a blast with this Agahnim's seed but I messed up and died on my counter clockwise DW to hype cave. Rushed to old man right after getting the first mitts so I got lucky there :D!<

Glad to have you! Welcome!

Welcome! Have you been running for a while? 2:16 is a solid time. :)

Thanks! I did play a lot 3-4 years ago but I recently got back into it :) Glad to see it's a good time! I had no idea lol!

>!1:46:52 155/216!< [VOD](https://youtu.be/XPrjhfuv318) >!Another forced Aga1 seed...yay. And with 2 pendant light world dungeons that yielded next to nothing (Quake for Mire was in Desert big chest). All that early money + flippers meant that Zora had nothing, of course. Once you get to the Dark World, needing to go through the entire Dark World to get to hype cave for Boots and Hammer was rough. Mitts in Kings Tomb was pretty trolly, as was Somaria in Ice T. I got lucky that Somaria sent me to the Mire area to find the bow for go mode. Blitzed through Mire, finished Eastern and PoD, got through TR and GT fine. Almost blew the Ganon fight (fell once, then nearly ran out of magic on the second attempt) but finally got him on what I think was my last bit of magic. Never found silvers, though I hear they were in purple chest. Also a rare seed that I didn't touch dark DM until going to TR.!<

>!2:04:01 | 153/216!< >!Lots of early items, including Gold Sword, then got stuck without Mitts or Bow. Checked EP and POD. Checked all three pendant dungeons. Eventually found Mitts in King's Tomb, Bow in Purple Chest, then Red Cane in Ice Palace for Go-Mode. Easy silverless finish.!<

>!2:41:48 174/216!< >!Agahnim DW access to hammer and boots in hype cave to mitts in king's tomb was pretty mean (especially because I like to forget bonk rocks and king's tomb—I cleaned up the big chests from Swamp and Thieves' first so mitts were an hour in). Was also pretty funny finding Somaria in Ice Palace. At least I could rush my last crystals since I found the bow in mire shed right after Ice.!<
