The Last SegmentInventory Check
* Light Arrows - Used to stun Ganondorf
* Bombs - Keep 'em there to save time
* Deku Nuts - Used in phase 1 of Ganon battle
Rainbow Bridge
You'll trigger it the usual way (by walking up to the pit). Unless someone figures out a way to do the Walk of Doom and super-slide in under 40 seconds altogether, save yourself the trouble for now.

You push the Armos in the Spirit chamber into a position such that it forms an acute angle with the wall, and then you jumpslash right through. Pretty straightforward. Be sure to use "soft-pushing" on the Armos.Ascending Ganon's Tower
General advice:
* Use your Deku Nuts to stun enemies if necessary, but be sure to have at least 10 remaining for Ganon.
* Of course, the attack power of your initial jumpslash can be preserved throughout the entire tower.
* Use rolls, sidehops, and backwalking (if you can manage it) on the spiral staircases.
1F - Entry chamber - Keese
2F - Dinolfos x2 (12 HP each)
3F - Stalfos x2 (10 HP each) - Boss Key
4F - Iron Knuckle x2 (30 HP each)
5F - Battle chamber - Lower level - Just head to the other door
6F - Ganondorf Battle (see below)
Ganondorf (40 HP)

This is definitely the optimal strategy for this battle. Don't Hookshot the central pillar--it's faster to simply hover. You'll have to do a bit of luck manipulation so that Ganondorf doesn't do another time-wasting slam attack once you're on the pillar. Then, fire the Light Arrow and be sure to hit him on the downslash. You'll need to do nine crouching stabs instead of four--I used the Biggoron's Sword.
Escape
If I recall correctly, the record is 1'28" remaining on the timer. 1'30" should be doable. Here are TSA's splits in his 4h 57m run:
6F - Start: 3'
5F - Enter: 2'45" (near-optimal); Exit: 2'39" (near-optimal)
4F - Enter: 2'33" (near-optimal); Exit: 2'28" (near-optimal)
3F - Enter: 2'22" (near-optimal); Exit: 1'50" (very non-optimal)
2F - Enter: 1'45" (near-optimal); Exit: 1'38" (slightly non-optimal)
1F - Enter: 1'28" (near-optimal); Exit: 1'15" (non-optimal)
By "near-optimal," I mean no hits by falling rocks, and no apparent delays.
Ganon (10+10 hits)

Phase 1: The most efficient known strategy involves locking onto his tail and firing one Deku Nut after another. Just try to squeeze in as many Nuts as you possibly can...and once Ganon turns around, roll under his legs and repeat. 10 hits will allow you to reclaim your sword.
Phase 2: In this phase, only the Master Sword can damage him. (I've tested this too many times using other inventory items.) So, re-equip your sword and do what AKA does--roll under his legs and try to keep him down as long as possible with quick spins. Ten more hits and you'll be able to deal the final blow.
The Final Blow & Trailing Dialogue
There isn't much to say about the climactic blow--just stand next to Ganon and press B on the first frame you possibly can. You will need to forward through all the dialogue boxes that follow, and do so as quickly as possible since they count in your time. The final dialogue box is shown below:
Once you've provided the last input, stop recording as soon as you can, preferably on the next frame. Any extraneous frames will inflate your final time, and you don't want that.

Thanks, Nitsuja.
Play the movie all the way from the very beginning and make sure it reaches the final "THE END" screen (even though there is no recorded input for the last seven or so minutes).
Whoa I never thought I would miss so much. I'm sorry I wasn't around during the poe boost, but I did give a detailed description somewhere earlier in the topic. Seriously its not worth busting your ass over it especially since that holy grail bomb glitch could be done quicker.
If you're doing another run then I take you'll be doing Ganon Early + BA, which could probally save about 20 mins overall although I haven't gone to the bother of calculating it correctly. I'll watch it in full on Monday providing you're able to complete it by then. On a side note without seeing the Adult run, you could get the arrows without any keys and withing about 3-4 mins.
Edit :
No it doesn't work my method was to beat the first stalfos room and use the bomb method to reach the top of the room but it doesn't work plus there is iron bars on both the doors at the top so you need to com efrom one of the doors on the oposite side i.e convetional route. However, on a rather pointless not you can get on top of the raised platform that lowers after the first stalfos is beaten in the top half of the room and from the platform you can glitch through the walls with a jump slash.
Once you've provided the last input, stop recording as soon as you can, preferably on the next frame. Any extraneous frames will inflate your final time, and you don't want that.
But some people had problems with m64 movies ending on playback before the last input they recorded, so make sure to save a savestate and load it again after making the last input you want in the movie, before you stop recording.
Just wanted to say a quick hi and tell Guano he's doing a great job. Also wanted to tell JXQ to stop acting like a jerk with your personal attacks and whatnot, n00b. Take your stupid opinions elsewhere, no one cares, because they're stupid.
Edit: And also JXQ I heard from a source I trust that you're a troll. Care to comment on this accusation?
lol smartass
Back on topic, can't wait to see the final movie. Didn't realize how close you were already with this route (I gave up trying to follow the massive threads over at SDA a long time ago)
Neeto, is this going to be submitted as a TAS video and will someone make an AVI for the entire thing? Sorry for the dumb question =)
Also, are you planning on doing a new run with all the new tricks discovered?

You have to forgive Atma for giving you a "witty" response. Its because he is a bit frustrated not being able to TAS his Minish Cap run for quite some time due to work and eating too many hot pockets. Now lets check out G'Bowls finished run!

and laziness, don't forget the laziness.
...and eating too many hot pockets.
What's a hot pocket? I swear, I really don't know what they are.
How come save states never work for me? They load at the correct frame but automatically give me control at that given frame. I've tried checking it as read only but it makes no difference now I'll have to play it at 1000% speed as usual.
That was a spectacular finish. Every single battle was, as you said, perfect. I didn't think it was possible to crouch-stab both Iron Knuckles at once on the fourth floor of Ganon's Tower, but somehow you managed it. That was awesome.
I'd really, really like to say that you got a perfect 10 on the last segment, but since TSA beat you by one second on the escape when entering the fourth floor (you had 2'32" left on the timer, while he had 2'33"), I'd have to give you a 9.9. =P
But in any case, that was very, very well-done. It's been quite a pleasure walking you through much of this run, and I appreciate the mention in your submission text. Would you be up for doing a Majora's Mask run?

Ive never played Majora's Mask sadly. But maybe someday! I'd also like to try a 100% run as well as an Improved, Ganon early, bottle glitch. See how fast that time can be.
Change my sig. again, and I will murder your pet fish.
Congratulations on finishing the run, I'm looking forward to seeing the AVI. I've been very impressed with what I saw already, and have faith that you will continue to make great runs like this one.

It's true, I'm a troll :(
