Well, I think I will TAS this game. After all, I've already done
Great Bay Temple (feel free to comment on my work on that; any criticism is appreciated).
The TAS route will probably be the same as the SS route, found
here. If any of you guys see anything wrong/should be changed, feel free to say.
There are a few things I'd like to have cleared up before running.
1) Should I get the Giant's Mask? Although it would look cool to have no Happy Masks, it's probably faster to get it, especially since we're getting the Gilded Sword, but incredible aim with arrows could solve that.
2) Should I get the Goron Mask? I know it sounds insane, but it IS possible to skip it. It just requires an extra 10 explosives and some extra bomb pickups in Snowhead (as well as some luck manipulation in the road to Ikana). On the other hand, skipping the Goron Mask cuts it down to 2 cycles, which leaves problems with funds.
3) and speaking of funds, we should consider alternate ways of making money. The lottery seems like a good option. Killing dodongos is another.
4) while
odolwa,
goht, and
gyorg all have great strats, Twinmold is lacking. Even with a TAS, a perfect fight against them will be difficult, mostly because it's not clear what a perfect fight against them is.
Some other concerns I have are that I am simply using the arrow keys for movement input, so my range of directions is a bit lacking. Also, Mupen tends to display every 3 frames for me. is there a way to get it to display every frame?
