Augus posted:A pretty significant bottleneck I've run into on my run is that I can't find the magic mirror, which closes off a surprisingly large amount of options for exploration. I also got screwed with the lamp but fortunately got the fire rod early on, so I couldn't see in the dark at all but at least could still light torches. If you end up in the Dark World without the mirror, you can do a hard save/reload and end up back home. I'm not sure if that's a failsafe in the game itself in case you somehow get to a portal without it, or a failsafe put in by the creators.

There seems to be a few more failsafes, too. I know I didn't have the lantern but the game acted like I did when I escaped with Zelda (but nowhere else until I found it for real). But that could be a feature of playing on normal. If I could just find those loving flippers and the bow I'd be pretty much set.

So fair warning, in the Swamp Palace make sure you get key in the second floodable room before you actually hit the switch that floods it. This is totally not based off a personal experience or anything.

I could have sworn I tried that. But it's been a very long weekend. I could very well be imagining things.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh I just exited and re-entered. Didn't think I had to reactivate the palace, which actually makes sense.

Honestly, the best part about the randomizer is how it goes “Oh, you say you know everything about this game? Ok then” and kicks your rear end. I always thought Southeast Death Mountain was entirely superfluous. There’s no items, no heart pieces, and no way to get to the top from there. Hell I don’t think I’ve been there since the game first came out. I had no idea there were so many chests there.

get that OUT of my face posted:I'm amazed at how much thinking goes into a given randomizer race. Good racers know the game inside and out, and they also have to think on their feet when they need a certain item to progress. Exactly. And it’s great because I have the Red Mail, Mirror Shield, and Golden Sword. I’ve beaten the Desert Palace, Tower of Hera, Thieve’s Town, and the Swamp Palace but that’s all I can do until I find the bow, Fire Rod or the Magic Cape to get Bombos with (it’s on that ledge in the Dark World you need the cape to get to). I hadn’t realized just how much a block being bowless can be.

There's something oddly satisfying about conquering the Eastern Palace with the red mail, Golden Sword, mirror shield, and the Silver Arrows. And there's something incredibly hilarious about Link scrounging his way across two worlds to find 3 pendants so he can pull 20 rupees out of a pedestal

GunnerJ posted:Oddly I don't remember Golden Sun being very wordy. What sticks out in my memory as most annoying are all the emote reacts. Well roughly 800,000,000 of those words are "Psynergy" and wasted on plotlines that never get resolved so you'd be forgiven for not remembering

I can't say I've sat and watched every race you guys do, but based off the ones I have seen I assume one day you guys are all gonna chip in and get FPZero a plaque that just says "Best at Videogames", right?

Thanks FP! I really enjoyed this thread. I always enjoy seeing old games played new ways.

I've cleaned out the light world and have exhausted several dark world dungeons looking for it. It and a couple boss keys are the only things standing in my way from go time. Oh, and to add hilarity to all that nonsense, I picked up basically all of those sword, mail, and shield upgrades in my first loops around the light and dark world, before I even found a usable big key. Make sure you bring a Green/Blue potion to Mothula!

Ryushikaze posted:By the time I got to Mothula I had quarter magic (I decided to try an easy mode seed just so I could see what that fun was like) so even though I had one, I didn't need it. Same with dealing with Trinex. I got through that fight missing several shots and wound up at about half magic. Speaking of...didn’t someone not realize that once you stun a Trinexx head you can hit it with a sword?
