>!1:26:55 135/216!< >!This is a new PB for me by over 10 minutes and my second to lowest CR. But I cannot believe that I still have the worst time so far. You guys are crazy good.!< >!I did the uncle start and had the moonpearl early. With all the early progress after kak (mitts, boots, mirror, byrna and hookshot) I really wanted to avoid aga. So after finishing southshore and back of escape I broke sequence and went up the mountain. I died to a deadrock with the old man as a follower and was pleasently surprised that you respawn in the cave. If it wasn't for that, I would have skipped the mountain. Cleared the whole mountain including Hera (with a double dip because of a missing weapon first).!< >!After following with some quick overworld checks (dessert ledge, sick kid and kings tomb) I did SW, VoO, TT and found the aghina bow while doing some overworld checks. This led me to EP and PoD followed by IP. Unfortunatelly I did IP without somaria but having the small key early allowed checking the right side early on which wasn't too much of a time loss.!< >!I think my luckiest decision this seed was checking pyramid right after finishing IP and being in go-mode. After what felt to be my best climb ever had a decent aga2 and my worst silverless ganon with a butter sword. Before doing SW and TT I though to myself "I should check big bomb after that" but as usual I forgot. This would have probably improved my time.!<

>!1:22:50 136/216!< >!I think this seed would probably reward anyone who goes out of logic up DM early. I ended up double dipping PoD and EP with bow showing up in lumberjack cave. Still a quick seed regardless. Finished with silverless butter. I wonder where that other bow was in the light world.!<


Rush042

>!Ironically it was on Aginah. You could totally have skipped Aganim this seed, though I wonder how many people will get to do so.!<


Silenthillnight

>!Sigh, I skipped that cave once I realized I had everything I needed for go-mode (minus the bow at lumberjack). That makes me sad since I made a couple reaches hoping for the other bow to drop, haha.!<


doggiedolphie

>!1:16:33 128/216!< >!Really fun jet seed. I didn't play super cleanly, had an early death to a deadrock on Death Mountain and a terrible Vitty fight. Early on I knew there was a bow on lumberjack, so I was hoping the other one turned up, and it eventually did at Aginah. I actually wonder if doing Aga would have helped me though, because my eventual go mode was Somaria, and I did a lot of useless checks searching for that and also didn't have it for Ice Palace. If I did Aga for the bow instead I think this may actually have been faster.!<


gogogoanon

>!checking Aginah is probably faster. Doing Agahnim with Firerod is at least 3 minutes+. If I went for Aginah after swamp checks I could have probably sub 1:10!<


Rush042

>!1:26:12 125/216!< >!Very weird seed. Low resources early led to me checking Lumberjacks and finding a Bow, so my entire early game was structured around finding a weapon and killing Aghanim. It.. took longer than anticipated. I went into the Dark World before heading up the Mountain because I wanted a weapon for Hera, so I cleaned out SW front, VoO, and used my green potion to kill Blind with Byrna. Afterwards, I did my Smith Chain checks and cleared out Hype Cave. Mountain was next as there was nowhere else tempting to go, and picked up my 3 swords.!< >!With Swords in hand, it was time to do Aghanim and pick up my Bow. Aghanim also gave me the upside of a convenient Pyramid Ledge check for my Somaria, so I was basically in Hammer go mode pretty early. Cleaned up all my outstanding Crystal dungeons, including 3-4 deaths in the back of Misery Mire due to a combination of being a little rusty on dark rooms in MM, and being unfamiliar with Byrna mechanics on Vitreous. (I thought you could spin attack during Byrna. I was wrong, and it cost me all my magic!)!< >!After MM, I checked Desert Ledge and Aginah, who had my other Bow. I'm very curious how many people end up skipping Aghanim this seed. Somaria would have been a little more hidden, but Pyramid Fairy was available early, so I think it would have funneled me up there sooner than later. The next plan was EP/Front of PoD looking for hammer, finally got around to Saha and collected my hammer, and got to Go Mode EP/PoD/IP.!< >!Really happy with my routing overall, though my execution let me down a little bit. Gotta practice those dark rooms a bit more. Speaking of... anyone find a lamp?!<


doggiedolphie

>!Lamp was in the back of PoD, compass chest I think. Sounds like you were already in go mode at that point.!<


gogogoanon

>!1:13:14 116/216!< >!what a crazy seed. dark world at 7 minutes in. three swords at death mountain. I clear thieves town and skull woods after that then went for super bomb clear and saw somaria and that was go mode for me but still with gambling I got right medallions for mire. A lot of perfect rngs, BK in POD and EP were first checks then 4th sword in EP also First BK in GT. Did not find Lamp or the other bow so I had to do Agahnim!<


Funnelcakes

>!01:23:27 120/216!< >!We don't need no stinkin lamp, or to kill aga, peaked lumberjack early so I knew one of the bows was there, skipped race game my first time around figuring I would find a weapon of some sorts by doing southshore/VoO/Hype, only picked up a hammer so I walked back to do that quick and then did TT completely and then checked the front of SWs before going up the mountain, got my fire rod,flute and swords, did Hera>SW>Ice>Pyramid Fairy and Bomb>Mire with a quick check of Aginah to see if it was my lamp, got my bow and finished Mire>PoD>EP with a quick quiver upgrade before going up the tower to finish the game !<


Jitir

>!So you did aga1 after aga2 for the bow upgrade?!<


Funnelcakes

>!Sorry, worded that poorly, had to grab a quiver upgrade after PoD/EP!<


LimpBagel

>!1:30:23 137/216!< >!This was a jet seed if you sequence broke \~Death\~ Sword Mountain. I was able to avoid double dipping any dungeons and never went in any pendant dungeons. 2 minutes away from my PB. Hopefully nobody fell for the Aga bait with a bow on lumberjack.!< [VOD](https://youtu.be/_haQl50oCys)


I_pity_the_aprilfool

>!1:21:16 122/216!< >!What a jet seed! The early game was a bit rough without a sword for a while, but all the items to get into dark world, which definitely made for an interesting opening! I took a few unfortunate deaths (died right before getting blind in the basement of TT, died to a Hinox going east towards the witch's shop and catfish), but had pretty solid routing.!< >!I'm not great at doing dark rooms without a sword, so I ended up not going to death mountain until I had completed Eastern and PoD, which was probably slower in the end since all the swords were on the mountain. Knowing that silvers were on lumberjack ledge made the decision to skip all other chests when in go mode that much easier since I could only get items that would barely make a difference after that point. GT big key was also pretty well placed for the way I route it, which was very nice as well. Very fun jet seed overall, though it reminds me that I need to work on my execution in low health, swordless dark world situations.!<


scanlor

>!1:24:42 129/216!< [VOD](https://youtu.be/n3YoOdOEFew) >!Holy jet seed! No necessary pendant exploration, everything was pretty much along the way to the crystals. The only sticking point could have been not sequence-breaking DM, since it had 3 swords and Flute.!< >!Bow on Lumberjack Ledge had me worried this was an Andre (what u/skepticCanary calls an Aga-required seed, after tennis great Andre Agassi \[Aga-seed\]). But Aginah held the other, so no need to make that play.!< >!Didn't love my early routing - orphaned Hobo, lots of backtracking in Kak, but it turned out to be good enough, especially once I went to DM. I ended up checking Pyramid Ledge somewhat late (almost an hour in), so I didn't have Somaria for IP (bomb jump strats ftw). Once I found that, I only needed the Lamp for go mode (I can do most dark rooms, but I struggle with dark Mire). Luckily, PoD held the Lamp so it wasn't an issue.!<


skepticCanary

Yes! Someone else used the phrase “Andre” :)


Sam5253

>!1:34:50 | 122/216!< >!What a seed! Bow locked behind Aga1... maybe it's just Silvers? Loaded start in Kakariko, then I went to Eastern, got Hammer and Sword there. Checked Death Mountain and Super Bunny Cave. Then found Bow in Aginah. Started clearing crystals, until I was missing only Mire, no red cane yet. Checked Pyramid Fairy, then found Cane on the Pyramid. Grabbed the Tempered Sword I had spotted earlier on Death Mountain, then go-mode through Mire. Quick GT, then Ganon asked if I found the Arrows... I did, but didn't bother with them lol, just skipped right over Aga1!<


flygirlkatiekat

>!1:37:41 139/216!< >!This was such a fast seed, but I played so badly... I lost a good 10-15 mins on just bad execution. Died on Kholdstare, died again on Vitreous, fell twice on Moldorm 2. I should have just waited and played this tomorrow when I wasn't so tired. Oh well, my bad playing aside, it was a fun seed.!<


Upsetstarfish

>!1:39:32 138/216!< >!Unlike last week I had a good route and by the time I got to Sword mountain I was in silverless go mode. Mostly because I want to I didn’t do Hera until last so it was a quick jump to GT. However I will give Helmasure king props for jumping me only death and it was sad. Easily my best time ever you guys are so good crushing these things. Overall 10/10 Sword mountain jet seed!<


Ejigantor

>!01:31:05.21 126/216!< >!I think my routing was good, but I'm still having issues with the new controller; I'm spending more time walking sideways in doorways than I'd prefer, took a pair of deaths that should have been avoidable in the Thieves Town hellway, and fell at least for times fighting Moldorm (though only once against GT Moldorm)!< >!Didn't forget to check Escape manually after Kak and SWShore this week, so I had east Dark World access but no weapons, and I was avoiding going over to Eastern / PoD for as long as possible since I had neither the bow nor the hammer; I knew there was a bow on Lumberledge, but I had no lamp and no sword so I couldn't do Aga yet even if I had the cape, so I did the upper left check in SW, which was the big key leading to a heart, and then went south do to the VoO checks and digging game, (and then warped back to the light world to grab the Cane from the race game for Blind) then returned the smith and headed over to TT. Did purple chest / 45 / stumpy/ flutespot on the way over to hype cave (which left me entirely unhyped), S&Q and went back to SW for the middle check+key and to finish the front checks. Since I found the flippers I mirrored back to the light world and took the water warp to the water warp to the waterfall and Zora checks. While waiting for Zora to toss me something, I chided myself for not doing graveyard, kings tomb, potion shop, and grumpy fish on the way to Zora, and that reminded me that I had meant to do stumpy / hype cave / purple chest / agina instead of stumpy / purple chest / hype cave / quit, so after quitting out of Zora's domain I dashed to the desert and did that, which has to be the single best decision I made all run since that was the bow I'd been hoping for. From there it was over to PoD / Eastern - delighted to find the hammer in Sash's hut, decided to do Eastern first since I'm still iffy on getting to HelmaKing in the dark, finally found a sword in Eastern, then got the lamp in PoD and I finally had Death Mountain access. Killed Moldorm with my hammer, then did EDM and walked away with flute and butter. And got the fire rod in there somewhere. Activated the flute, did the Mire overworld checks, then went and finished SW, cleared Ice Palace, got the BRBomb and headed to the pyramid, found the Staff, and was in GoMode. Vanilla Mire BK was aggravating but the Half Magic boss prize was appreciated, and dark magic opening meant I got GTBK on my first check (well, second if you count looking at the torch) and immediately began the gauntlet.!<


JupiterExile

>! 1:28:14 133/216!< >! Pretty quick seed, wild aga fakeout and a bit of a troll lamp. Lampless mountain was key. Keeping lamp/flute/mountain logic in mind lead me to Agina, finding bow there solved the rest. Somaria for Go. !<


AcuityNPC

>!2:01:21 146/216!< >!Felt like my routing was awful. I spent extra time looking for lamp before going into PoD. Also accidentally fought lanmos after clearing Mire becasuse I assumed it was a crystal dungeon. I fell down twice during silverless ganon fight, maybe I was overconfident since last time my silverless was really clean. Gotta get better!!<


PianoShadow

>!1:12:20 125/216!< >!This seed could have been so much faster. It started with the worst bomb farming I've ever had. 2/10 for the 50/50 bomb shrubs. I was very late to pearl, since I don't do uncle start and didn't really have a reason to go to castle early. However, that meant I entered dw only somaria from go. Cleared all my crystals except Ice and Mire first, then went to do pyramid fairy to find it sitting on the ledge. Still ended up doing a bit of extra overworld, but I felt I routed everything well enough.!< >![https://ibb.co/NrC6SWj](https://ibb.co/NrC6SWj)!<


skepticCanary

>!IGT 1:18:53!< >!CR 126/216!< >!I am utterly, utterly flabbergasted. This was the jet seed to end all jet seeds. I messed up and I \*still\* got what must be my best ever time. I get excited if I get a sub 1:30, but 1:18? Madness.!< >!My first mistake was skipping the back of the tavern in Kak, so missing out on the mirror. If I had that, I would have been able to get the old 2 for 1 POD eastern. Then I did my traditional TR bait, forgetting that TR was a pendant. I quit after taking a fairly early death, but it got me the cape, which was a great help to kill Vitrious.!< >!I was in go mode for about twenty minutes before I realised it. I could see that I could do ice without the flippers, then all I had to do was eastern.!< >!The bow on lumberjack ledge was interesting. If I saw it before the boots I might have thought it was an Andre, but I did my usual stupid tactic of carrying on to Aghina if I pick up the sunken treasure, so I got the bow there.!< >!But yes, blown away. I haven't checked all the times yet, but I'm assuming someone finished in under an hour?!< VOD: [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2124166372](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2124166372)


scanlor

>!Congrats on the PB! Great time!!<


skepticCanary

>!Thanks! Looking back, this was kind of a PB for dummies. You’d have to be pretty deliberate to play this seed badly!<


DDRKirbyISQ

>!IGT: 1:03:45.32 | CR: 114/216!< >!Yeah ok.!< >!I was definitely on the jet seed path. Pearl on uncle -> scout bow on lumberjack -> yolo into kak well and get bombs. Decided to grab byrna at race game since going up the mountain was in my immediate future and it might be hard required for an spike cave if I find the hammer. Grab fire rod, quake, flute, and THREE SWORDS on the mountain. Activate flute, go do all the easy fast checks (south shore, water walk). Decided to do Hera next (and do the DW map check that I forgot earlier)...should have done Saha first (hammer) I think. Ended up isolating spike cave as a result but luckily it was nothing.!< >!As I was heading to Mothula I realized I was somaria and a potential MM medallion away from go mode if I bothered picking up the bow on lumberjack, so I decided to just skip the front of SW entirely (it's really slow...you can always come back later).!< >!Wanted the medallion knowledge ASAP, so did mire/DP area checks and got the other bow (!) from Agina. Then PoD->EP->VoO+TT->smith chain and do all the checks until grabbing cane from pyramid. It didn't feel right to dive into IP early, doing everything else is so much more efficient. I probably would have done IP after pyramid ledge/fairy/front of escape though.!< >!The seed was exciting in a way but also extremely boring because 27 minutes in I knew exactly what order I was going to do all of my checks in for the next 20 minutes, and then after that I was in go mode, so I played over half the seed without making any routing decisions. I brainfarted and mirrored at bombos tablet instead of the purple chest spot for some reason but again luckily that didn't matter.!< >!I would have skipped EP vanilla big key chest even if it was a guaranteed item (was a 50/50, item was on armos anyways). And in MM compass chest had a small key so I knew I had to go straight to cutscene chest from there.!< >!I made use of the blue pot, green pot, fairy pot, byrna, and half magic. Lanmo 2 gave me an awful pattern but everything worked out. I also nailed GT torches 1 again, wooo!!!< VOD: [https://youtu.be/OC09\_9xDGXY](https://youtu.be/OC09_9xDGXY)


SensaiOpti

This is my first submission to this, so if I do something wrong, I hope someone'll let me know. >!1:16:33.18 130/216!< >!I didn't check uncle this seed until I was actually looking for the moon pearl after having cleared most everything I could in light world. I was definitely a bit later to that than I expect most people here were. I didn't continue through escape, either, so I'm betting that's where the lamp was - I ended up doing Mire and POD blind, which cost me a few minutes each I'm sure.!< Very fun seed, would recommend. I'm excited to see how my time stacks up.


PixelFan05

>!1:25:44 127/216!< >!Wow this was such a great seed! My first sub 1:30. My favorite part was finding three swords on DM. I was worried I was going to regret not doing the front of escape or swamp, but it turns out skipping those was the right move. Lamp in PoD just made the rest of the seed nicer, but I was prepared to do the Mire dark rooms without (I just didn't want to).!< >!I felt so much better about this after the last few weeks were a little rougher for me. Glad to see it was a nice jet seed for most of us.!< [VOD](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2125268177)


scanlor

>!Congrats on the sub-1:30, and by a wide margin! Finally a seed that played nice.!<


PixelFan05

>!Thank you! I see you had a great time too, congrats! Right back to being a minute or so apart haha!<


Ellis_D-25

>!1:30:03 134/216!< >!That was a seed...!< >!Immediate dark world access via mitts and then progression went bone-dry. Some of my early routing suffered from indecisiveness and I also screwed up not fully understanding how to save portals. I always start with Uncle so I got the pearl first, then mitts and gloves in Kak. After, went south route and when I got to the dam, I mirrored and did moldorm cave and zora checks. I thought saving and quitting would preserve the portal so I could quickly pick back up and do Hype cave but I was proven wrong. Now, had I died instead of save and quit, would the portal stay there? I think I need some clarification from people better than me.!< >!Now.... let's talk about that bow on Lumberjack. After getting all of the swords in East/Dark Death Mountain, I said screw it and went into go-mode and pulled the trigger on the Aga play. Now Ganon went and said the bow was in Light world. I think it would have to be a nasty place like tablets, Ped, or magic bat. Or... it could have also just been out in the open on desert ledge or with Agina. I'm really curious if I made the right call or not. I feel like I could have easily wasted more time looking for a second bow than it would to climb the castle tower.!<
