Let's Race Link to the Past Randomizer

[S1x]

Not exactly race seeds, but I feel this is the relevant topic for this:

I'm going to be doing 5 different seeds all live this week. If you want to, you can play one or more of these before I do and see how close our times are. Plus you can watch me trying to find one item and scream internally because you know exactly where it is.

Monday: Standard
Tuesday: Inverted (new mode!!)
Wednesday: Open Keysanity
Thursday: Open Timed OHKO (I'm linking it, but... don't do this to yourself)
Friday (or Saturday morning): Swordless Pedestal

5PM EDT on Saturday October 13th
Normal, Open, Random Sword, Ganon

With the introduction of Inverted mode in v30, I was tempted to challenge you guys to it immediately. However, the early game of that mode has the potential to be extremely brutal. How about instead, we practice with one official normal seed, and preferably a few more on our own time, and then go for Inverted a little later?

Sure, I'm up for a game.

Can’t commit right now, sorry

Spoiler.

Routing went pretty well; go mode item was Quake to get into Turtle Rock. Biggest time costs were probably:

- Getting Hookshot from Sahasrahla's closet, but not Lamp in Eastern until much later, and half completing other dungeons because of it
- Dying to Trinex due to running out of magic, but at least I took the safety exit
- Getting chipped down to half a heart by the Aghanim 2 fight (wheeee no net or powder), so I caped up to stay alive, but because I burned all my magic, I had to go to the potion shop to take on Ganon. With no mirror, getting back to the pyramid takes a while

Spoiler.

I, uh, didn't finish because I died to Ganon right before the final Silver Arrow some corner shenanigans wtf, just about 2 hours in >_> btw don't try Silver-less Ganon without knowing how that actually works, lol

oh nooo
