  1. Rules:
  2. - All items must be obtained from their natural source (Source Requirement).
  3. - You may not obtain items in a way that bypasses the source requirement (even
  4. if you intend to fulfill that requirement later).
  5. - Variables that are indirectly relevant to 100% (ie. number of killed enemies) can be
  6. written to.
  7. - Universal Secrets may be used for accessibility purposes, for the sole
  8. purpose of telling secrets to NPC's, since everything's in japanese. You may
  9. NOT tell the normally unused ring secrets to Farore, and you may NOT use
  10. universal secrets with the red snake to obtain rings.
  11. - An upgrade may not be obtained twice from the use of secrets.
  12.  
  13. Clarifications:
  14. - Obtaining an item from its "natural source" means that it must be obtained in
  15. the room it is normally in, through the mechanism it is normally given by.
  16. - Upgrades may not be obtained from the same source more than once.
  17.  
  18. Rationale:
  19. - A source requirement is necessary unless we want the end of the Ages run to
  20. consist solely of writing items into our inventory once we achieve ACE.
  21. - It is impossible to verify the source requirements for rings, so we must
  22. restrict the ability to write them (and items in general) into the player's
  23. inventory.
  24. - The hybridized Ages file can receive secrets from both unlinked Ages and
  25. linked Seasons. To prevent ie. getting both satchel upgrades from these
  26. secrets, we disallow the use of secrets for an upgrade multiple times.
  27. - Allowing universal secrets _only_ for the 5-letter secrets shouldn't change
  28. much except ordering, because we still have to talk to the NPCs to set their
  29. flags before talking to Farore (unless we ACE over that of course...).
  30. HOWEVER, allowing the use of return secrets for rings would allow us to
  31. bypass those sidequests and completely remove the 1st seasons playthrough.
  32. Since the rings are not supposed to be obtained this way (it is unused
  33. functionality), it is not allowed.
  34. - Even if universal secrets were disallowed, it would still be possible to use
  35. ACE to overwrite the GameID with some consistent value to get consistent
  36. secrets. Allowing universal secrets seems simpler in terms of rules.
