So, I had thought about running a 100% run, but have been unable to find the last medallion.
So, the medallions that currently exist are the Ether medallion found in its correct place.
The Quake medallion found where bombos should be.
As far as I could tell there isn't a way of getting the medallion as one would in the original game as there is no ring of stones to throw a pot into.
To verify that the medallion exists, I was able to find it using FCEUX by memory address searching and it is definitely within the game's memory along with a large amount of strange items likely left over from their development period. (the "level 5" sword is the red tunic, and the "level 6" is a shield, the "level 3" tunic is a different green tunic) the item also surprisingly works.
That was one of the last things I found since it's not obvious (the other last thing being the smith quest for a sword upgrade), but it does exist and it's near where Quake should be.
It's in the top-left corner of the zora area, reachable right after getting flippers:
I also had a 100% run here, it's only a few minutes longer than any%:
Oh wow, Acmlm hittin' me up with the facts once again! Thanks!
So, at 44:40 twitch vod (44:30 run timer) you pick up the arrow, do you know definitively if this does anything? I'm pretty sure it actually is just a single arrow as this is the only noticeable effect that occurs when you pick up the item. It certainly is different to the other arrow chests as their arrows point upwards.
I thought it was silver arrows, but apparently not ...
I checked RAM changes and it really only gives 1 arrow (and clears the chest), with no other effects.
Alright, good. I think the only thing left for my routing concerns is the shield upgrades, as far as I can tell you, gain them automatically through the course of playing the game. (Boss gifts?)
A quick note, if you don't pick up the bottle near Uncle, you can purchase one from the grassed off house for 100 rupee. Getting it in the beginning would be the most optimal in terms of route but would increase RNG dependence, but you could get it on the way to Crystal Desert when you dash through Kakariko and I think that it would probably be slightly faster overall.
