We need to decide on the rules. Start time and End time. What is 100% and I am sure there will be various Any%'s as well. We need to come to a consensus on these rules.

Yes, i will be working on this very soon. I would appreciate your input. Im thinking for now we'll only accept Bizhawk runs with clear audio/video, inputs showing, as for start/end time that'll be a little more tricky. I should be around tonight to work on this.

Any% - Timing start on "new game/start" on the main screen and end on the final hit?

that would be my guess

New York, USA

There's still text to cancel, which means you're still in control/playing but i was thinking on final hit too. As for 100%, what were you wondering about Momo? I assume it means all items and upgrades, no? So , for now (atleast) accepting Emu and console runs, must have reasonably clear video/audio, must have timer- start at "new game/start" end at final hit, emu runs must have input showing. 100% must get all items including crystal balls as well as all upgrades (sword, armor, bombs). Sound about right?

^ health upgrades too

New York, USA

or just all items swords armor? crystal ball ,bomb/health upgrades optional?

All items is pretty confusing imo, the ring/potion/bombs/wings are all 1 time use items so i dont think it would make sense to include those, the lantern/fire wand though should be included.

Fire wand/Lantern max Sword/Armor/Health/Bomb/Shield upgrade?(what if i skip the silver armor but get the strongest armor, does that still count has getting max upgrades?) and all unique items like the boots/drop/moss should be in there.

Edit: also someone need to write the rules for Any% on the game page because there is none atm lol

New York, USA

As of right now i was thinking: all (unique) items , all health/bomb upgrades (i believe there are 3 of each) all equipment (swords, shields, armor). I had the thought of adding crystal balls too because any% is already rather similar to 100%, but that would be up for debate.

Edit: So yes, you would need to get ALL equipment, not just end with strongest equipment.

Québec

im fine with that except the crystal balls, i still see them as compass, which is not needed in most zelda games.

3 Swords/Shields/Armors 3 Life/Bomb upgrades Moss/Boots/Fire Wand/Bell/Drop/Book 3 Shields upgrades

i think that's it

New York, USA

i completely forgot about the book, might as well add that too

May I ask why the only approved emulator for this game is Bizhawk? I only ask because I use a Mac and unfortunately I couldn't find a version of Bizhawk that runs on OS X. I'd really like to start learning this run, but it would be a shame if I couldn't submit any of my runs.

New York, USA

I should probably check this more often

New York, USA

We don't have any information as to whether any emulator might be faster than another. We are trying to keep things fair. We also don't actually have any information as to time differences between console and emu, so I'm not really sure what to do there either. As for Eng vs. Jpn, We know Jpn is faster so technically we should offer a different category for that. This is a new speedrun and we're working on it.

Which brings up a few things. I don't have time rn, but soon there will be news either here or a vid somewhere.

LOL please disregard that post of mine to which you replied. I have since obtained a PC and have been running Bizhawk on that, so we're good.
