Was wondering if there was a guide of some sort that goes with this game cause I was gonna practice and/or run PS2 in the mean time since I still have my copy

Its fine if not, I will still look for them myself, but I figured I might as well ask. it was worth a try

I have notes, they're not hugely updated. But if you just watch a run, you should be able to pick up what you need to know.

Let me at least get my notes here, for starters, then people can use them to learn the general route. They're there for where to go, not specific input skill stuff. I learnt that as I went.

All I really need it for is for where to go and what items I need to start it seeing I can tell NG+ Items are allowed with the panda outfit alone. Been ages since I played this

Well, the panda outfit is the only real NG+ thing for Normal mode, it doesn't affect the game in any way. Ultimate Mode is i guess true NG+ with the Bishamon Sword.

I guess so, but excuse if this is dumb I just haven't played this since the first release

how come we cant use the Bishamon sword on easy or normal? is it exclusive to ultimate?

I would go play it and find out for myself but my ps2 has currently taken a dump at the moment so im getting my knowledge from the runs here at the moment

Bishamon is unlocked from the start in Ultimate Mode only. In Easy and Normal you have to plumb the Dark Realm Depths for the Ocarina to get the Sword in the Demon Realm at end game.
