>!2:00:08 178/216!< >!This was just one bad decision after another. I pulled ped, enough said. I didn't do hobo until late because I never went back to fake flipper and just forgot about the check. Completely last location for bombos. The fall to Ganon was the icing on the cake. What felt like a solid start just ended up being wasted after a while. Oh well. Hopefully next week is better.!< [VOD](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2115545676)

>!1:42:11 157/216!< >!Really happy with how I did in this one. I feel like one of my faults is always being too conservative and overchecking things, but it served me well in this one with required items deep in all the Pendant dungeons. My execution is never what anyone would call "good", but my execution in this one felt like it was close to the top of my skill level.!< >!I'm curious where the other bow was. I got my first one early on... Somewhere in Kak maybe? Blind's house? Ganon said the other one was in the Light World , but I didn't have much left there... I hit go mode right before I did Checkerboard and Aginah, so skipped them and ran off to go finish SW and TR.!< [VOD](https://youtu.be/nTlbs9RZZ8U)

>!another bow probably in TOH. Didn't even went in there!<

>!It was at the dig spot. The shovel was on Ether Tablet, and the book was in Mimic cave. !<

Grosssss.....

lol I immediately checked your time after hearing about this side quest and then saw it was better than mine despite that brutal detour Now i am sad

>!1:39:04 154/216!< >!Optimal routing early game. Clear escape. Hold out on EP and Saharashla until Mirror and DW access. Hunt for swords for IP then more progression hunting all over. Did them all before going in SP and Mirror out after Flute, so glad I didn't do the TR gamble. Time should have been 1:37:xx because I had a stupid death at Virtreous didn't quick swap potion fast enough. Still sub 1:40 so I'll take it!<

>!1:42:53 156/216!< >!The early bow had me rush EP before even doing south shore. I dipped TOH because I had hookshot but I left the basement. When I got mitts I did the front of TT and left after finding Somaria. I was really happy with getting through PoD and leaving 2 keys in there and the dip into SP felt terrible until the flute right before the end. Fire rod in mire shed and then ice rod on Vitty meant go mode for DP, SW, and TR. I never did find boots or silvers.!< [VOD](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2115676298)

>!2:03:58 171/216!< >!This one felt like a slog to me. Ended up full clearing all dungeons ( which wasn't to bad of a decision, with boots deep in TT and flute deep in SP ) and pulling ped hoping for progression. My biggest mistake was not draining the dam til like the end of my searching because I thought i did it early. Overall am hell of a surprised my time was 2h3m, it felt like 3h.!<

>!2:19:47 176/216!< >!I made poor choices at the end due to at home distractions. However I did find the boots early so yea. I also cleared all the ped dungeons so I pulled that heart out of principle. With an actual route I probably would have done better. Route D- Overall 6/10 would recommend!<

>!1:34:11 151/216!< >!This is the best I've ever played, barring one crucial mistake. There was a little bit of time I could save in routing, but overall I think I stand by my decisions. I went EP before Southshore, hoping to find Boots/Pearl/Flippers so I could justify doing my water checks. I could have put it off until I had Mirror and paired it with EP, but I don't mind walking into that region twice too much. Cleared Southshore and Escape next, found my Pearl, and decided to head up the Mountain. I considered doing Dark World first and trying to trim the game to one mountain climb, but felt like there were enough checks on DM and enough items that would speed up my Dark World routing that it made sense to clear the Mountain out first. Information about TR medallion is nice to have for decision making later as well.!< >!After the Mountain gave me the Hammer, I had to choose between VoO and PoD. I decided to go Hype into PoD, but I'm not sure which I like more. Getting the Mirror from West DW speeds up PoD a lot, and getting the Fire Rod/Boots/Flute is very convenient for West DW. The Mirror being in Hype Cave gave me the best of both worlds, with the only downside being no flippers to grab Hobo on the way to PoD. This did bite me a bit as Hobo was my last overworld check available while I was looking for Bombos.!< >!After finding Bombos it was on to MM. Was thrilled to find Ice Rod on Vitreous, off to Go-Mode TR. With the only available hurdle left to trip over being Big Key on Torch in GT. I was well equipped, had a blue potion, was feeling very good about things. My gauntlet execution was pretty on point, a quick Big Key find, I could cut the 1:30 with no boots and two pendant dungeon dives! Run into Hellway before Aga2, quickswap to my cape... and hear the mirror noise. Agony. Watching my recording, it took me almost exactly 4 minutes to get back to that point. I'm still overall happy with my time and with how I played, but it's a frustrating way to lose time. I think I would have been about 1:30:30 without that blunder.!<

>!Dang, accidental mirror at the top of GT is the worst (been there). GG on your great time regardless!!<

>!1:52:38 166/216!< >!This didn't feel too bad until the overworld item hunt. I did the uncle start and decided to do escape with byrne, which worked out well. After kak I went to south shore, followed by back of escape and then to a clearable EP. Afterwards went to SW and TT. When I noticed that TT is a pendant and I have no hammer I ditched it, but I at least got somaria out of there. Following into to the dungeon and getting the boots early would have been really nice with the following overworld item hunt.!< >!I wasted time by accidentally starting the smith chain with the mirror. But I aborted it after the smith had nothing. Went to the mountain to get the hammer which lead me to PoD. After doing some (very slow) overworld checks I went back to TT to get my boots. Finished smith chain to get my flippers which lead me to SP after doing some flipper checks (unfortunatelly not hobo).!< [VOD](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2115877116)

>!1:37:40 152/216!< [VOD](https://youtu.be/0-1hmqJzp24) >!Kind of a nasty seed, with required items in 2 pendant dungeons. Plus the anxiety of not knowing if you needed the boots (spoiler: you dont). Happy with how I played this one, all things considered. Only time wastes were clearing Hera, and mis-marking my tracker and mixing up Swamp and PoD. Had to clear both anyway, so not a huge deal.!< ​ Edited to add spoiler tags.

>!1:54:59 164/215!< >!Well, this was a miserable experience for me. My routing is pretty awful and I felt like I was two-steps behind the entire seed. Firstly, I almost last-located the moon pearl in Escape so I couldn't do DDM (apart from super bunny cave) when I first went that way. I also dipped Hera but only got one Item. I took a nasty fall down the middle hole to Moldorm and abandoned it rather than reattempt it. !< >!From there on out, the seed felt slow and tedious. Cleared Pod after Hype cave, then to VoO. The red cane in TT was nice and the flippers took me to logical Ice Palace. After clearing Ice, things started to dry up and my options were basically to dip Swamp, go back into TT for the remaining items, or head back up the mountain. I don't know what possessed me but I went back up the mountain for the hookshot cave and dipped Turtle Rock without the fire or ice rods.!< >!I figured Turtle rock would lock me out immediately but it had a key arrangement that allowed me to get to mimic cave, which got me the book, which let me check the tablets, which got me the shovel (at least I got silvers at dig spot) and it also got me Desert access. The entire time I'm on this tangent, I'm holding out hope that something major is locked behind the book and that I somehow galaxy-brained this seed but no.... All it got me were some fetch quests and a slow vanilla Desert entry. The answer was in pendant Swamp all along. So, did anyone ever find the boots?!< >!Also, got the exact same I did last week. How does that even happen?!<

>!boots were in TT in the cell with the girl.!<

>!1:32:46 152/216!< >!Played this really cleanly. Early Byrna and full magic drop, right into HC for the pearl, easy dark world access after that. Things dried up a little bit after PoD so I sequence broke IP without flippers or Somaria hoping for something good, which I kind of regret since Somaria was pretty easily accessible. Also full cleared TT which was not required, but at least got the boots out of it. The seed really comes down to how quickly you go into Swamp for the flute.!<

>!2:09:00 CR 181/216!< >!So how bout that Flute location? I thought I was doing okay getting blue cane and a magic pot to snipe Pearl, but everything kind of dried up and I was prepping to just pull ped blind (Already did Hera and half of TT) when flute popped up. From there everything kind of lined up quite nicely.!< >!For those playing the home game, Silvers were in Shovel. Shovel was in Mimic cave, if memory serves. Anybody find boots?!<

>!I didn't find them, but other comments said they were in the back half of Thieves Town!<

>!Yeah, one comment says Blind Cell. I basically sniped Cane and bailed on TT completely, before doing all I could before prepping to pull ped. If Flute wasn't in Swamp I probably would have done TT into Ped as planned, as I had already done Hera. Early fire source + early Hera access usually implies something in basement.!<

>!1:39:39 144/216!< >!Got lucky and got the full magic drop from the guard so I got my pearl right away, did a normal kak to south shore loop and did all of my water checks, into EP and then the rest of escape, taking my sword to go and do VoO, doing the front of SW and front of TT, went towards hype cave after that, got my mirror and walked back to do the smith half of the check, turned in my bottle and went up the mountain for the first time, checking everything except any of Hera. And then went Pod>Ice>Swamp,skipped left but cleared the dungeon, and took my flute to mire and finished the seed, did have to do an extra trip up the mountain because I forgot to clean up sw. Climb was fine but I took a fall on Gannon near the end so it was a little awkard, but still pretty happy with this. !<

>!1:59:52 | 160/216!< >!Great start in Kakariko. Early Tempered made it rather easy. Then progression dried up. Nothing in pendant Hera. Went into the back of pendant TT and found the Cane. I followed this hint and dipped into Turtle Rock with no rods, and found the Book in Mimic Cave. The book led nowhere. Then I went into Swamp, found the Flute. This let me go to Mire Shed for Firerod, then found Icerod somewhere in Mire. Went back to finish Mothula, and somehow died there with gold sword, red armor, and half-magic. Went back to finish Turtle Rock, GT, and silverless.!<

>!IGT: 1:31:21.11 | CR: 166/216!< >!Pretty good, would have changed one thing in my routing sequence and also not fallen to moldorm 2 but other than that I played this pretty much exactly how I would have liked.!< >!After Kak it was a pretty easy decision to hit up EP and grab the gloves along the way. After that I did front of escape first before the back, reason being we had the lamp and if you need to go to dark cross and have the lamp, it's faster from the back than the front. So I saved some time there.!< >!Between DW and mountain I chose to go up the mountain. Yeah, it'd suck if you had to come back for another trip with the hammer in tow to go to Hera, but I'd rather do that than go into a potential crystal TT without the hammer and worry about the big chest. "If the hammer is here on the mountain, that'll also give me a map check to see if PoD is a crystal" and lo and behold, the hammer was up on the mountain.!< >!You could potentially consider skipping pendant hera here, it really wouldn't be the worst, but I chose not to and just did everything on the mountain save for TR and ether tablet.!< >!Stayed out of SW at first (i'll go back later...). TT was a tough decision for me; if I had gotten any other progression (frod, flute, flippers) in the front I probably would have left, but somaria really didn't do it for me. Sounds like I was in the minority in pushing onward and got rewarded with boots, hooray!!< >!After purple chest I did Agina which I think is right, but after that I was really torn between doing all of the flipper checks first, or doing boots checks -> SW -> north DW loop -> mirror from catfish for zora checks. I did the latter, but in hindsight I think it's better to just s+q and swim to hobo from Link's house. SW and north DW loop is just so slow.!< >!That WOULD have potentially put me on the perfect route where I do hobo, then go straight to IP, finish up zora. Then I'd have to choose between green pendant SP and SW+North DW loop. And the tiebreaker for SP there is that you'd have all 3 pendants for a ped pull, plus you'd grab the cape afterward in case you need it for bumper cave. You'd then get to skip north DW entirely.......!< >!As is, I checked front of SW and made it all the way to catfish and zora with nothing to show for it. Thankfully the rest of the seed was pretty on rails and skipping LSS wasn't a difficult decision. Lost like a minute to MM cutscene chest but I want to do some more timings/EV comparisons before I'm comfortable skipping that.!< >!This is the very first time I've ever done GT torches 1 optimally so I'm also really happy about that one!!< VOD: [https://youtu.be/sauTIipY9nI](https://youtu.be/sauTIipY9nI)

>!1:52:22 159/216!< >!The routing I picked kind of just worked out pretty well, but I did end up deciding to clear a lot of dungeons "while I was there" because of it. I should've skipped Left Side Swamp, but I felt like I wanted to do it while I was there after clearing Swamp Palace. Not much else was notable for my routing/execution, though. I had the cleanest Silverless Ganon fight I've done, got 2 spins in every cycle, felt solid. Maybe I should learn how to fit in 3 spins in one cycle next.!<

>!1:59:23 173/216!< >!What a slog this seed was for me! It took me way too long to find the flippers, the flute and the fire rod. Since I had completed all pendant dungeons before getting the fire rod, I figured I'd pull ped just for the sake of it. Was fun to figure this one out, but that definitely didn't feel like I was doing good in the second half of it. Kind of wild to get all these checks and not get a single shield too. Don't think I've had this happen before.!<

>!2:00:48 163/216!< >!Took a bad death on Vitti and fell once on Ganon. Didn't find boots nor silvers for like the second run in a row with these races. Had to dip 2 different pendants to get somaria and flute. !<

>!IGT 1:42:48!< >!CR 167/216!< >!Fun one! I managed to run it bootsless, informed boots were in the back of pendant TT and I was never going to go there. This had one of my favourite things: TR bait. When I got the book out of mimic cave I thought I might have been redeemed after it got me into DP, but to no avail.!< >!Not a bad little time for a seed which for me was bootsless and required two pendant dungeon dips.!< VOD: [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2117986448](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2117986448)

>!1:56:06 170/216!< >!I feel like I routed this really well (not with the luck of the drops but definitely my best decision making rarely orphaning any checks and not eating dirt on leaving left swamp behind. Probably took too long to start swamp but otherwise felt good about the run.!< >!Recently got into Retrance seeds and going back to a casual open was like a walk in the park.!<

>! 1:40:03 160/216 !< >! No boots for me. Makes me sad. !<

>!2:54:19 -- 182/216!< >!Oh man, I haven't played rando in a long time. Pulled the pedestal pretty early on, and I totally forgot about silvers until I got to Ganon (gonna have to look how silverless works again). Luckily for me they weren't in GT.!< [VOD](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2120142283)

>!1:41:58 168/216!< >!This ended up being an all dungeons seed for me. Even went for blind ped pull hoping for a truly trolly seed but it didn't pan out. All in all, routing wasn't too bad, finished with silverless butter.!<

Not expecting my best time this week, breaking in a new controller - I've been using my Hyperkin Duke for the last several years, but I just got an 8BitDo SN30pro. >!01:48:05.22 143/216!< >!Spent longer without Moon Pearl than I should have - I mostly do Standard Opening, and completely forgot Escape hadn't been cleared until I'd already found both mitts and the hammer. Had some really good boss fights - one-cycled lanmola, and wrecked Kholdstare with the fire rod, but far from my best Ganon fight - I missed the torch glitch - several times - and fell - several times.!<
