100% (No Grove 2 Skip)

General Information

  • Howling Stones
  • Ice Cave Block Puzzles
  • Day and Night cycles are crucial throughout and can make or break a run.
  • You must collect:
    • All Hearts (pieces and containers)
    • All Mirror Shards
    • All Fused Shadows
    • All 60 Poes
    • All Golden Bugs
    • All Equipment (shields, tunics, and swords, including the powered up Master Sword)
    • All Hidden Skills
    • All Portals
  • All Items. This means:
    • 4 Bottles
    • 3 Bomb Bags
    • Ancient Sky Book
    • Horse Call
    • Lantern
    • Fishing Rod & Coral Earring
    • Slingshot
    • Hawkeye
    • Ghost Lantern
    • All Dungeon Items
    • Medicine Scent
    • A Letter
    • Fishing Journal
    • Giant Bomb Bags
    • Giant Quiver
    • Giant Wallet
    • All 50 Stamps
  • Important Notes:
    • You only need to collect the fishing journal, you do not have to complete it.
    • Only the final scent is required.
    • You need at least one letter (just to get the icon on the collection screen).
    • Completing the Cave of Ordeals is not required, although it's practically necessary, as there is a stamp on floor 50. Technically, you do not have to talk to the final Great Fairy.
    • Getting every bomb type is not required.
    • The Wooden Sword and default Ordon Shield are not required, but at least one wooden shield is required upon game completion, meaning you must get another one if it burns.

This route is for the No Amiibo version of 100%. In No Amiibo, use of Amiibo of any kind is banned. That includes using the Wolf Link Amiibo to quickly load save files.

For the Amiibo version, the route is mostly the same. Ruleset and route differences are discussed in the Amiibo Route section at the end.

This route is slower than the Grove 2 Skip route and has not been updated to incorporate some other minor improvements to the route (because implementing those improvements is complicated due to day/night cycles).

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