100%

Information:

This route is a more advanced version of 100% that implements Grove 2 Skip (G2S) and faster D/N cycles. It is intended for NA Wii 1.0 only. While PAL and JP versions will work, you will have to clear Cave of Ordeals without floor skips.

  • Coro TD (Text Displacement) is not required for this route, progression and rupee routing is based around Telma TD instead.
  • While there exists a Coro TD route that is slightly faster, it is not yet considered RTA-friendly.

Runs should start with a blank file in slots 1, 2, and 3.

Because this run spans over 7 hours at top-level, practicing and preparation is highly recommended. Also do note the (unskippable) cutscene breaks.

This route is still in development, but current runs that use this route are:

Addenda

Alternative Routes:

It is worth noting there are some slightly faster alternatives to this route but generally aren't considered worth or haven't been properly routed. These include:

  • Coro Text Displacement (saves approximately 20-25 seconds)
  • King Bulblin 1 Trigger Skip (also saves 20 seconds)
  • Using Ooccoo to leave Lakebed, then doing a precise moonboots bomb boost in Goron Mines (overall saves 5s)

Day-Night Cycles

Relative difficulty of each day-night cycle:

  • Post MDH: Not too difficult and has some leniency, but costs time to fail because of the Poes at the end.
  • Post AG / Pre-SPR: Quite short. Not tight on time at all.
  • Post ToT: The toughest day-night cycle in the route. It has an estimated 30 seconds of leniency.
  • Post Cave: fairly lenient and also a good opportunity to grab anything missed, especially Poes.

Some considerations for the Post-ToT D/N cycle:

  • Poes: ones that can be skipped or relocated include the Kakariko Gorge Poe and the Connection Cave Poe.
  • Rupees: The Snowpeak Cave 100R will cost D/N time as it also passes inside the cave. Kakariko Graveyard 50R is a safer, albeit slower backup.
  • Kakariko Gorge: If you forgot to place Epona, warp Kakariko Village to call her and ride her to Gorge.
  • If you miss both the Gorge HPs and Poe, a good time to return is after Cave of Ordeals to grab them in one trip.

Other Notes:

  • There are various backup rupees. See GCN 100% addenda for a full list, most of which also apply in this route too.
