Ing claims that you can't enemy megaflip on PAL, so you have to get the Fairy Ocarina.

I then devised a route on PAL that gets one item less than his route, but requires skipping Hover Boots, making the run much harder. Now ing has a choice - play NTSC or not at all .

Victory post.


Edit: If you are curious, my route skips Deku Shield, Hover Boots, and Hylian Shield in favor of Gerudo License and Requiem of Spirit. I get Mirror Shield as child, which is possible without Deku Shield through a plethora of tricks (as the only place where shield is absolutely required before is to get to the crystal switch for chus, which he will have already obtained from the well). Reverse DoT skip is accomplished through Requiem of Spirit. This method wouldn't be useful on NTSC, since you could get the Deku Shield to skip Fairy Ocarina, which is the same ammount of items and allows you to grab Hover Boots.

i just noticed that ing's screen name is all caps

[ING-X]

That's all fine and dandy ringrush, except that the gate in gerudo's fortress doesn't open automatically when you get gerudo card, meaning that you're stuck out in the middle of the desert

[RingRush]

Then get Bomb, Bomb Bag, Requiem of Spirit, Minuet of Forest, Bow, Quiver instead of Bottle, Ruto's Bottle, Golden Scale, Hover Boots, Hylian Shield, Deku Stick.

Once again, this only saves items because you have to grab the Ocarina.

PAL run still harder.

[ING-X]

Well good luck getting to spirit chus and mirror shield without a deku stick. You need it for the key that gets you to the room with the chus.

[RingRush]

Or you could just silver block skip as child :p.

[ING-X]

how would you silver block skip without a deku shield

[RingRush]

You get Deku Shield.

In other news I just traded 6 items for 6 items...I can't count.


Edit: However, FW may work instead of Bombs/Bomb Bag to return from desert...I'd need to calculate chu totals for the run however.

Edit2: It is possible...it requires a partial bubble hover (3 or 4 backflip-shields).

Edit3: New idea, get Goron's Ruby instead of Farore's Wind, so you can hover back over the fence after chu bowling.

[ING-X]

lol... so i guess the fw route failed because you can't get back past kz after going past him

[RingRush]

Ing, you can, it just wastes enough chus to require 7-8 bubble hovers in forest temple, which is just too much.

New route should have no chu problems though.

[ING-X]

can you do me a favor and post the new pal route so i can see what i'm dealing with if cosmo escape ends up being impossible on pal?

What is that thing you can't do on PAL?
