Salute%

i didnt come up with this category but sometime ago i saw someone streaming them routing this. the goal is to use the hookshot as a child (after pulling out the sword (shield is needed)) link will "salute" sometime ago i made a leaderboard for this on my site (this must have been made around the time equip swap was found)

This is the WR on my site (by bobo)

All Child Dungeons, No Spiritual Stones:

How this works:

You do the Child Dungeons, Then when you get to the blue warp you drop a bomb right next to the blue warp and backflip at the right time to trigger the warp, but to kill you and make link drop. Stupid Idea but I messed around with it and i thought it was fun.

London, England

All Grottos:

You open all the Grottos around the map and you collect the item in them (etc. Chest, Skulltula, Cow Milk....)

Race to zelda would be a good one to put in here I think. There's several runs of it, current record holder is Zudu.

Here's his run:

Here's mine that he beat:

Hi guys,

I think "Kill Ganon" should be a category. Here's a run I found, it's pretty impressive. If you can come up with a better name that's fine, and ideally it would be on the main leader board, but anything is fine as long as the category is recognized. Thank you for reading as I await the reply.

Yours,

Superboss

100% No IE/SRM, and one with SRM there is already a max% no IE. But this requires extra HP's, and getting lesser upgrades to count as items. With 100% no IE, only the max upgrade of things would be needed from from source, you can get bomb upgrades by beating DC and collecting upgrades without picking up the original bomb bag. U can then pick up the original bomb bag and it will put the bag in the inventory over bombchu slot, so u can then pick up bombchus without explosives ever being in your inventory. (Bombchus will not overwrite the bomb bag in inventory.) But this allows you to pick up all items for 100% completion without ever having explosives in your inventory. Here is a video for proof of concept. and also working on SRM version

Intro skip now allowed on all categories

Hi OoT speedrunners! After several weeks of elaborate discussions and a large community vote, it has been decided that from now on the intro cutscene can be skipped for all categories. Note that the timing method differs from the one that was used for race files runs. The revised game rules are as f
