OoT Ganonless FAQ

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Ganonless category FAQ
-----------------------------------------------------------

Q: What is Ganonless?
A: Ganonless is a category of OoT speedrunning wherein you use a Wrong Warp to get into the credits directly.

Q: Isn't this a route for any%?
A: No.  This category is completely separate from any%.  However, this category, although a different route, did used to be the any% right when wrong warping was discovered.

Q: What is the WR for Ganonless?
A: Check www.zeldaspeedruns.com/leaderboards/oot/ganonless

Q: Why is he running backwards?
A: Backpedalling over long distances in a straight line is faster than running or rolling.

Q: What version is this on?
A: This category is being run on the N64 using a Japanese 1.1 cartridge.

Q: Why 1.1?
A: Versions 1.0 and 1.1 feature a glitch called Eyeball Frog Early wherein you trick King Zora to give you the Eyeball Frog instead of a Zora Tunic.  This skips most of the adult trading sequence.

Q: Why not iQue?
A: The iQue runs on 1.2 which means no Eyeball Frog Early.  This is slow.

Q: Why do you need the Eyeball Frog?
A: The Eyeball Frog is used to Wrong Warp from the Fire Temple into the credits cutscene.  This is how the run is completed.

Q: Why is the game in [insert language here]?
A: The Japanese version is used because it has less and faster text.  This saves time.

Q: What's with the Bottle on B?
A: Having the bottle on B facilitates a glitch called Reverse Bottle Adventure, or RBA for short.  This glitch allows you to essentially write values into your inventory, which can be used to give you songs, medallions, items, or modify "ammo" amounts.  In this run, RBA will be used to give ourselves the largest Bomb Bag, via Cojiro (the Blue Cucco), as well as the ability to receive bomb drops, via bombs.  For more details on the mechanics of RBA, consult http://www.zeldaspeedruns.com/oot/ba/reverse-bottle-adventure

Q: How did you get the bottle on B?
A: With a new application of the quickdraw glitch combined with the shield swipe method of duping bottles. http://www.zeldaspeedruns.com/oot/ba/bottle-on-b#getting-bottle-on-b
