As a disclaimer I'm just going to straight up say this; I have casually played this game on the GC for quite a while now, but I'm probably nowhere near good enough to speedrun this game properly. I think I'm good, but nowhere near that good. That being said I am interested in trying and will practice.
But I was also toying with the thought, what if there was a no L/Z Target category? This would put a lot of restrictions on what the player can do, effectively making it almost a true glitchless category unto itself. No back walking, no backflips or side jumping, not even jump attacks. This will put a lot of restrictions on by itself as tons of tricks are L/Z Target heavy, and will likely not be everyone's cup of tea, but what do you guys think?
That sounds unpleasant and not very interesting at all. Seems like a silly arbitrary restriction that would only extend the length of a normal glitchless run due to your damage output being lesser because of no PCS.
So I’m looking into this a tiny bit. Since you cannot backflip/sidehop for OI, the best way to beat the game would probably use a damage OI ganondoor like in this No Bottles run.
The ganondoor setup would have to be pretty crazy, but with C-Up still being allowed, it is certantly within the realm of feasibility.
Also jumpslashing is still very possible by jumping off a ledge and pressing B or the item to use in midair. This lets you set a jumpslash PCS without targeting in any room with a ledge you can jump from.
Sword, shield, navi dive escape, buy a magic bean, roll to kakariko, die (if dying resets navi), navi dive to BotW, actor glitch, dead hand, vine clip, chu chest, double Savewarp, enter DC, get bombs glitchless, exit, Savewarp, enter deku, break web, B1 skip somehow, ghoma, Bomb yourself to die afterwards, then go back down and do damage OI ganondoor with the magic bean, then beat the game.
I don’t think vine clip requires you to target but I feel like I am wrong.
Me and Balatee (old runner) did a few child dungeons runs where we never pressed Z. You can get yourself in a sort of Z state if you throw the boomerang. That way you can backflip etc but also do megaflips without using Z
Recently, many longer runs submitted as Twitch highlights have had parts of their audio muted due to Twitch's automatic copyright detection, the most frequent case being long sections of Lost Woods music. Some vods will even give a network error at these parts which can cause several minutes of foot
