TDO Glitchless/No Up+A? Linear%?

Is there an appropriate category for a full 100% run that is completely linear? The TDO Glitchless category allows for Up+A, I see. It's kind of surprising there's no category for a fully linear run, unless I'm completely blind haha

I suppose you can make a category for anything lol, but I think a fully linear category should be added.

Is the "No Up+A" discrepancy in a TDO Glitchless run too minor to warrant a new category?

Thanks! And good luck to all!

I'm not clear if you're asking for Linear 100% to also be Glitchless. I am a little intrigued by how awful some of the combat rooms in 100% glitchless sound. Book and Red Ring rooms in particular are total garbage. Bubbles in a diamond room -- BARF! I'm not seeing the appeal of forcing level order AND 100%. 100% categories of this game already suffer from a lot of extra walking to get barely useful stuff, and we already have diluted the boards with six 100% categories when only one is decently competitive. But, I think you should run what you want, post your results and see who gets interested.

However, no Deaths or Up+A as a category variant has been done to death. I'm not going to dilute the leaderboard by tacking that restriction onto our categories, or by making categories that are otherwise too similar to existing ones.

That all makes sense, thanks for the reply!
