Title: LA SS with screenwarping
Post by: Maxx on August 31, 2009, 07:06:33 PM
Not that it would be particularly entertaining, but since it's pretty clearly the fastest way to finish the game, I think a run should be done.

Has anybody thought about it?

Just a note that I will be doing this run, and I've gotten very close on a couple attempts.  My main problem is taking damage during the boss fight, but I think I can survive with full health.

Anyway, here is my route:
-shield
-exit house, move near the left side of the screen
-screenwarp down 4 times
-move down, Link should jump down the ledge to the left of the urchin
-screenwarp left, grab sword
-go right, kill urchin, up
-screenwarp down (as far to the left as possible)
-move down, enter Turtle Rock
-move 1 screen right, kill yourself with the Gibdos (I cannot S&Q)
-save and continue (faster then just continuing)
-move 1 screen up
-screenwarp down 4 times, move 1 screen down
-screenwarp up 3 times
-screenwarp down
-beat boss, climb stairs, game over

Overall, I screenwarp 14 times throughout the run.  Ideally, I don't miss one, but I'm alright with missing 1 or 2 (to a certain extent).
