Re: Let's Race Link to the Past Randomizer
I'm down. This sounds more my speed.
I've had to keep taking breaks on my first run. It really shows that I haven't played this game in years (or ever, randomized).

Re: Let's Race Link to the Past Randomizer
I just practiced a seed with these settings. I'll put it here for you guys as a warm-up. (change the two commas into periods)

Generating the seed in about 2 hours.
One more great resource if you can't remember all item locations is this interactive tracker. Use the version with the map, and it will show you exactly what places you can access given the items you have.

Re: Let's Race Link to the Past Randomizer
Taking another DNF. Don't know if I'll be participating in races in the future...I have a lot of fun doing it, but I can only neglect my family for so long before the guilt sets in.

Re: Let's Race Link to the Past Randomizer
I forgot to mention I'm working an extra shift tonight.
I'll try to fit some time in when I get home, though.

Re: Let's Race Link to the Past Randomizer
Let's have your input on the next one. Mainly trying to determine the following:
Next weekend or two weekends from now?
Easy or Normal?
Goal: Ganon or Pedestal?

Re: Let's Race Link to the Past Randomizer
I know I said that I might be done with these, but I think I'll continue getting the seeds and trying them out, but I won't be
-streaming
-racing at the same time/pace
because those are the things that I feel like are most holding me back right now. Streaming just really sucks me away from the real world in a way I'm not a fan of
so yeah.
Either mode is fine, and let's try another Pedestal race

Re: Let's Race Link to the Past Randomizer
I'm fine with any of those options as long as I win I have fun and believe in myself
Re: Let's Race Link to the Past Randomizer
Right now I'm hoping more people can finish in one session, so I think leaving the settings as they were is fine.
6PM EST on Saturday February 24th
Easy, Standard, Goal: Master Sword Pedestal
Remember, Easy mode's item pool includes 8 swords, 8 bottles, 4 armors, 6 shields, 2 half magics (find both for 1/4 magic), 3 chances for a lamp, and a dungeon treasure counter on the UI. We'll change difficulty when bosses are rarely killing anyone.
Hopefully we won't need to check as many dungeons on this seed

Re: Let's Race Link to the Past Randomizer
I definitely won’t be able to race on Saturday, but I can give this seed a go on Sunday and throughout the week.
