RBA discoveries

[CloudMax]

but that isn't how BA works at all. item 18 is item 18, period. i suspect instead of fish having anything to do with nuts, it is linked to something else (perhaps directly to the hover boots)

That would be odd. I put bottled fish on II as young link, and had 18 deku nuts.
If you look earlier in the thread, you can see that someone else got exactly the same result.
I did this twice by the way.

ohh well, I'd rather find out how it actually works than just guessing.

Cosmo is right. If you got hover boots by Fish on II with 18 Deku Nuts, then the amount of Deku Nuts you had did not matter at all, since Hover Boots are not item 18.

Just adding support to the idea that deku nuts don't matter in BA. I had 10 deku nuts and fish on II and when i went forward in time i had hovers on B.

Some things have changed from the original game.
I just tried RBA with Lon Lon Milk (full) on II and caught a Fairy in my B bottle and it changed my Deku Stick count to 24. (Supposed to be Bomb count.)
I suppose I could investigate all of the II values.
When I had a Fairy on II it replaced my Deku Sticks with a bottle. (In the N64 version, it's supposed to change Deku Stick count.)
So, clearly some things have changed.

So far:

Fairy: Deku Stick slot
Lon Lon Milk (full): Deku Stick count
