Let's Race Link to the Past Randomizer

[S1x]

Switching to Random Sword along with Easy because unlimited Fire Rod shots or other things in the escape sequence feels cool

Spoiler.

Timer... Time: 1:08:45
VOD

Noting too out of the ordinary aside from Ice Palace which I suspect will trip people up. Made some good plays, had to take a bathroom break after the final Crystal which probably cheated my Timer Time a bit. Terrible Agahnim 2 but the final Ganon fight was spicy.

Oh, and I guess Thieves Town was a waste.

[S1x]

I did this run on Saturday but only got around to looking at the footage today. I blame time for passing so quickly recently.

(not highlighted, so this VOD will expire around 4/28)

Spoiler.

Real time 2:10:39
Unmodified game time 2:09:02
Modified game time 55:02

I found most clocks along the way. By the end I only missed 3 green, 1 blue, and 4 red

[Marilink]

Well, this was a mess.

1:26:44 adjusted time, 2:24:45 game time.

I died to Ganon several times despite having Red Mail and Butter Sword. I was just careless. Then I ran out of magic and arrows, so I had to go get some to finish.

I'm really unhappy with my play in this one. =/

5PM EDT on Sunday April 29th
Normal, Standard, Random Sword, Triforce Hunt

A 20 piece hunt is still pretty short, especially since the new version lowers the chances of pieces in GT.

Is Sunday doable? It doesn't have to be a weekend day

[Marilink]

I'm fine with all that

[Random User]

Yeah I'm down for that.

[smol Kat]

Sunday is good! I'll actually do it this time bc I'm not rubbish at the category

e: I will say, though, that Open makes more sense for the category though

[X-3]

I'm in

Final results:

Spoiler.

VOD
A comedy of errors. Check out 45:00 for The Greatest Play of All Time though.

Spoiler.

Real time: 1:08:13, Game time 1:07:03

5th triangle around 5:45 wandering around the Light World
10th triangle around 26:30 up in Death Mountain after getting the Flute
15th triangle around 56:00 after using the Mitts in Thieves Town and Sahsrala's Hookshot to go upj dark Death Mountain; Hookshot cave had a load of pieces
19th triangle around 1:06:00 after full clearing Swamp Palace, got the last piece in the cave west of Misery Mire

[12:46 PM] Kat Nappington, Esq.: 1:48:05 game; 1:51:43 real
[12:46 PM] Kat Nappington, Esq.: was not expecting sub-2 that seed pissed me off

What a headache. Hookshot was the last thing I did, so I never full-cleared Swamp and I had to return to TT after getting a second fairy (although I ended up not using any; Byrna was helpful). Looking around for the boots really cost me.

e: to put in tags

[Random User]

Heyyyy I actually finished this go!

Spoiler.

Actual time, according to my stream's VOD, is around 5 hours.

Here's a great highlight.

[smol Kat]

lmao I was like WHAT DID I WALK INTO

[Marilink]

Hey I got around to it

Spoiler.

I died 4 times, which should tell you about how I feel about this time. (All deaths were incredibly stupid)

Probably could have beaten S1x, maybe under an hour, if I didn't play like garbo. alas.

Wait, where was hookshot? I never found it. I also never got flippers, so I didn't do Swamp. I got my last pieces in Turtle Rock.

[S1x]

Sahasrala was holding Hookshot

[X-3]

Anyone know where the Pegasus Boots were?

[Marilink]

^No idea on Pegasus boots. Probably Ganon's Tower or something.

huh, I just realized I never once checked the dungeons in this seed, since I just assumed I wouldn't need to worry about pendants or crystals. Didn't realize I had Green Pendant and could have gone to Sassafras.

Then again, I also never got Flippers, so even then I probably wouldn't have gone to Swamp before finishing the seed. But if Hookshot cave had any pieces, I probably could have finished faster...

[Marilink]

HOLY CRAP HOOKSHOT CAVE HAD 3 PIECES.

WHY DID I NOT CHECK SAHASRAHLA

8PM EDT on Monday May 14th
Normal, Standard, Random Sword, Goal: Pedestal, Variation: Retro

Playing around Mother's Day.

Retro is the new mode added in the latest update. It gives LttP a bit of that Zelda 1 flavor:

- The bow's ammo is now Rupees, 10 for regular ones and 50 for Silvers. It gets expensive. Arrow pickups are now blue Rupees. Wooden arrows must be purchased from a shop
- Keys are now universal, and have been shuffled along with all other items anywhere in Hyrule. (Dungeon items remain in their dungeons.) You may need to buy keys to progress. Now Aghanim's Tower may hold progression!
- Some shops (chosen randomly) have changed their stock to Wooden Arrows, Keys, and Bombs
- Four random single entrances that had no items now have an old man that will let you choose between a bonus Heart Container (not taken from the item pool) or a blue potion
- One random single entrance has a sword that was taken out of the item pool. It's important to peek into those houses and caves to try and find it
