Dannyb's Glitchless Any% Unrestricted Route

Glitchless OoT Route as of July 2017
by dannyb21892

This route came about after the big discussion about the glitchless rules that took place in June and July of 2017. Many new things were found to be possible including:
-Gerudo Gate Skip
-Dodongo’s Cavern Early Switch
-Trials Skip
In addition, some rules were modified:
-Banned the falling spike clip in shadow temple
-Allowed using misplaced loading zones (Jabu early and trials skip)
-Removed bans on any particular skips (wasteland as child)

This category aims to push the game as far as possible without using any glitched mechanics. Any skips that result from allowed mechanics are also allowed.

[Brackets] mean equip or suggested ammo count

In this doc I track ammo for deku sticks [S], deku nuts [N], bombs [B], bombchus [C] and magic points [MP]. The total small magic bar is 24MP. Dins fire and FW cost 6MP each to cast, a charged spin (blue or orange) cost 1MP, light arrows cost 4MP, a small jar refills 6MP and a large jar fills 12MP.


EMERALD
-Sword, 40 rupee route and shield
-Talk to mido, stick [1S], enter tree
-Nuts from the right baba [5N], [sticks nuts] navi vine text skip, hop on map chest, jump to vines, b1 skip [4N]
-downright and stab the baba near the web for nuts [9N], kill the vertical baba near the torch for a stick [2S], backflip jumpslash with stick for fire, (use stick C button to jumpslash, not A, it’s different somehow) then burn the web
-231
-gohma[7N] + HC

RUBY
-After mido leave forest via pokey to get ocarina
-Owl skip and backwalk to castle
-Get 40 rupees in one jump from the chains, reload the field and get 60 more before night. Take total one heart fall damage.
-Buy Hylian shield then go to castle. Exit market at full speed.
-Backflip, backflip, slash to enter market at 0 speed (minimizes time spent in places where time of day doesnt advance) then return to castle to spawn malon
-Get egg [sticks ocarina egg] and head toward talon. pull block as far as you can before daytime. Climb the side of the block opposite talon, stand at the edge and wake him up from there at morning. While he runs away hold slight input down and hold A so link drops off the box right away. Push it two pushes short of falling off, climb it then jumpslash across the gap to enter guards
-Zelda’s Letter + Lullaby
-Head to kak and show letter to guard. [Stick nuts ocarina] and roll past guard in unpause lag. Go up DMT to goron city.
-Sidehop down from wooden plank and take half heart fall damage, play ZL to open the door, light stick (dont talk to daruna) and light torches until you can use the fire to blow up the lost woods warp. Take half heart bomb damage. Should be at 2 hearts here.
-Owl skip right away then head to sacred forest meadow
-Roll to wolfos, immediately turn your back to bait the swipe. Pull stick and slash it while waiting for the wolfos to attack. Once he does, he will turn around. Stab his back to one hit kill.
-Take dmg down to half heart (3 scrub hits), learn sarias song
-Die on the first scrub to deathwarp to start of SFM
-Leave, hold shield to stop before owl trigger, then owl skip. Go to Goron City  NOTE THAT IF YOU SKIPPED THE OWL BEFORE SARIAS SONG, IT IS STILL THERE. SO YOULL HAVE TO SKIP IT AGAIN OR LEAVE THE LOST WOODS TO KOKIRI FOREST AND RE-ENTER TO GET BACK TO GORON CITY FROM THE FRONT OF LOST WOODS (3-4s slower to leave).
-Turn left, sidehop right x16, roll to Darunia at a slight upright angle. This locks the camera away from Darunia after the cutscene and gives good rolling angle. Play sarias song for darunia for the bracelet, leave GC via the top exit to DMT, throw the bomb flower down to blow up DC and backflip down during the cutscene. Enter DC
-DC entrance cs skip by leaving at the same time as you blow up the wall. Setup: pick flower, walk directly to nearest part of bomb wall, target it and shield drop bomb, 4 backflips, flick down and mash B for triple slash 0 speed exit. re-enter and take the moving platforms to the right side of the room. If you dont cs skip, you need to use the back ladder not the platforms.
-Bait the beamos laser and run just right of the ledge to the floor switch. ESS right and hold target on the wall to ESS shuffle. When the laser is kind of close (but not too close) hold down+target for one frame. Then target+shield for one frame. Then upleft+shield+A to backflip. Shielding the laser damage will kill the backflip but Link will still do the twist from the ESS shuffle and reach the ledge early.
-Step on floor switch. Cross the room via moving platforms and enter bomb stairs room on very left side. Target left wall, 11 sidehops right, lift bomb directly in front of you but immediately shield drop it and roll to pick up the next bomb in front of you. Carry this one around and throw it in the back left corner of the stairs. This movement is the fastest way to lower the stairs.
-Your favorite strat to get on the central pillar with the switch.  There are a lot of them.
-Turn around quickly after entering main room upper level. This unloads the keese early enough for backwalking to be safe. Cross the bridge (use nut[6N] on 2nd keese), backflip over the navi text near the floor spike
-Lift bomb flower, target front of heart chest and turn around. From a standstill, hold left and link will strafe forward. Throw bomb when forward motion ends to land it perfectly on the ledge.
-Jump up to the ledge and get into position to setup for slingshot skip fire jumps while flower is exploding.
-These lizalfos same as the first
-Slingshot skip v2.0
-Bombs [stick nuts bombs hylian shield if you want]
-bomb the eyes [18B], enter the mouth.  proceed through the rooms using deku nuts liberally if you dont have the hylian shield. See a video of a good run to learn how to move to manipulate the camera to make the keese load at proper times to stun them safely. Worst case scenario should be [3N] now. Also just before pushing the block, grab the left pot for a bomb drop. [20B]
-blow up floor[19B] for king dodongo and store deku stick JS while waiting for explosion. First hit with bomb [18B] and use a bomb flower for the second hit to save a bomb. Pluck it while he’s rolling.

-exit magic to DMT->owl->kak->hyrule field->zoras river
-Throw a bomb[14B] at the boulders from just outside owl text trigger, then talk to owl.  You can try to skip this owl but it’s not worth because failing and being seen with a weapon in hand often makes the camera follow him for like 5 extra seconds over normal when he flies away
-Grab cucco, use it to skip waterfall
-Diving game for silver scale, get 5 nuts[8N] from the pot between collecting the rupees and climbing back up for the scale. Dive to lake hylia, get letter in a bottle.
