Hey guys! I'm practising the 100% category for TP. But I don't understand why you must fight vs king bulbin 1 before the gerudo desert. Can someone explain me pls ;-;? It's really necesary to complete the game at 100%?

Thanks!

From a 100% requirements aspect, I don't believe the fight is explicitly required. However, it is the fastest way to set D/N cycle to night for the Gerudo Desert and also unlocks Malo Mart, where the Hylian Shield and Hawkeye, plus enables opening the CT shop to buy the Magic Armor as well as Springwater Run for a HP are all either within directly or locked by things you do within the shop.

If we assume KB1 isn't required for Malo Mart, what are you doing to pass time for the Gerudo Desert Poes? Iza 1 is out (Iza's bag screws Barne's bag), beating SPR is out (sets D/N to midday plus screws Coral Earring [Fishing Rod Upgrade]), Plumm was already done, and STAR both doesn't do enough and is slower anyway. You can't just go to the Desert right away because there's no way to clear the area efficiently due to the poe at the entrance of the area (the best option is to SW after opening the Mesa portal and then get the entrance poe and warp back, but this is slow and you still need to pass more time than just this, PLUS you also end up skipping LH cleanup which needs to be routed somewhere else).

In short, even if we set aside the issues with Malo Mart, KB1 is still purely faster than waiting for night or doing other things.

Lel I didn't know that is the fastest way to set the day to night :P. But the Malo Mart it's unlocked if you pass Goron Mines anyways, and I can wait all the day in Hyrule Field jajajaj. No xd just joking, I will try to do the KB1. Thank you very much!
