Beta Quest Link Filename FAQ/Route

What is Beta Quest?
TPHD Beta Quest is a TPHD mod created by dragonbane0 in which most loading zones (except for those in dungeons, etc.) are random, allowing for randomized playthroughs and cool tricks with limited items. Additionally, dragonbane0 has patched back in all tricks from TPSD except for Back in Time, which is part of the reason I and others will be referring to this as TPSDHD. There are a couple other oddities that allow for big route differences as well.

Then why aren't the loads randomized?
Using the filename Link retains certain elements like the Horse Call and TPSD tricks while keeping the loading zones normal (with the exception of savewarping from the overworld, which will always warp you to central castle town.

What is going on at the beginning?
At the beginning of Beta Quest, you can pick a bomb bag or the horse call. The horse call is involved in far more tricks and is incredibly unique (given that you can call Epona to almost anywhere), so I will be grabbing it every time.

How long should Link filename any% be?
Dragonbane0's latest estimate is around 2:45:xx, but it's possible that with new finds and experimentation that the time could go lower.

Current route (unfinished and changing):
ORDON:
Skip cutscene
Go back into house and grab horse call (left chest)
Use rock to bonk through ordon gate
Call horse on bridge
Follow normal save talo route (get lantern, key, break cage, etc.)
Goats 2
Get Iron Boots (continue to talk to Bo until he wrestles you)
Roll to sewers (Epona is slower here iirc)
Sewers (normal sewers)
Go through Midna text
Call epona and epona oob
	(Going from Faron side of the bridge to Spring side, turn
	sharply left at the very end of the bridge on the left side.
	You should be floating under the bridge on Epona. Ride around
	to the right until you can go through the wall and go underneath
	the twilight trigger. This should let you into the twilight)

FARON:
Do shadow beasts and get Midna charge
Skip Vessel
Skip all bugs
Go through tunnel (use shortcut)
Change into human link and use lantern to cross fog to N. Faron
Use EMS jump to get up on ledge
Walk around to the Forest Temple area
Transform into human and use lantern to enter Forest Temple
Break cage and kill bokoblin
Use Deku Baba heads to kill spiders
Light lanterns
Skip ook cutscene
Epona slide across bridge gap (kinda precise, practice it)
Ook (use wolf for one cycle, human for remaining two, should
	save one cycle)
Boomerang
Savewarp to Entrance
Leave Forest Temple
Go back to North Faron Shadow Beasts and EMS jump again
Go to Sacred Grove and do first 3 skull kid hits normally
Transform into human and do master sword puzzle skip
	(this skips fighting skull kid and doing the puzzle)
Master Sword
Warp to South Faron
Faron Escape
Call Epona
Postman Skip
Enter Eldin

ELDIN:
Kill gorge shadow beasts
Gorge void (free because input buffering)
Rupee Roll to skip gorge
Enter Kakariko (avoid KB1 trigger)
Kakariko Portal
Exit Kakariko (avoid KB1 trigger)
Enter gorge cutscene from other side
	(we could skip the trigger and cross the gap
	with epona, but we need map warp, so we have
	to get the cutscene)
Warp to South Faron
Savewarp

LANAYRU:
You should now be in castle town
Run out to the west
Call epona once you are off the bridge
Go to Lake Hylia Bridge and get cutscene
Fall down to lake
...

Alright so this is the weird part, I realized that we can't get clawshot immediately here. Our options look kinda like this:
- Get ooccoo, savewarp, ooccoo out, finish lanayru twilight and eldin twilight, steal iza bombs w/ooccoo (could get goron bomb bag, but I don't see the point), ooccoo back, lakebed in one go more or less by blowing up the rock. After lakebed we now have no za, lent bomb bag, would need bomb bag later for zant water phase (steal bomb bag and dupe or get goron bomb bag earlier idk)
- Get boss flags from diababa so we can just do clawshot immediately and then worry about bombs later
- Get ZA via KB2 skip after simply finishing the two twilights and get rid of this whole argument altogether (pot clip, no morpheel without bombs, skip bombs altogether due to early b&c)

...
After Lakebed:
Savewarp from overworld to get to castle town
Dash to Telma's Bar
MDH like in SD
...

...
Snowpeak (frankly this can go just about anywhere, placement would depend on what we do to get to deku toad):
Warp to ZD
Map glitch to disable void trigger
Run up Snowpeak
Howl at stone to disable map glitch, exit
Continue snowpeak climb
Snowboard
Get B&C the normal way
...

...
Arbiter's Grounds:
Warp Lake Hylia
Memo
Enter Desert
Epona across desert?
Ball and chain past fences
Map glitch through bulblin camp
Enter AG
To main room as normal
