It remains one of my favorite games to date. My first Zelda game was Ocarina of Time and it was probably the first game I ever beat. I’ve been playing Zelda since I was young, probably about 20 years. Justine: My name is Justine, and I am media manager for the Zelda Informer Facebook page.

Let’s start with a introduction to yourself and your experience with Zelda Randomizers. Both stream Legend of Zelda Randomizers on their own individual channels, but one is very much casual in their approach and the other among the best in competitive and I spoke to them both in hopes of understanding the major differences between casual and competitive play. This week, I talked to our very own Justine from Zelda Informer’s social media team as well as Daaanty, an admin for the Link to the Past Randomizer League and a top 4 finisher within the league on team The 2019 Titan’s Mitts of 2019. Next up, we have our Randomizer Spotlight for the week! Each installment, we’ll be covering various individuals in the randomizer in the community as well as highlighting their developers! As often as I can, I’ll be trying to reach out to them to get their direct input on the process and development of the randomizer, but regardless, we hope we can bring attention to a lot of unique randomizers and enlighten people on the complicated and devoted process that many of these developers go through to make these work. It is possible to fire the hookshot at Molgera’s mouth while he’s flying and get another round of hits in, thus skipping his third and fourth phases.If you park The King of Red Lions where he can be fired at on Spectacle Island, hitting him counts for points for… some reason.As stated in our previous installment, killing the Octoroks and then edging to the very tip of the dock in Ikana Canyon will put the tree needed to access the rest of Ikana in reach, negating the need for Ice Arrows.If you align yourself just right to the gap in the wall, it is possible to clip into Sakon’s Hideout with the Bunny Hood.Given the more recent incorporation of competitive scenes for Majora’s Mask and Wind Waker, it’s not entirely clear which glitches will be allowed in competitive in the long run, but here are a couple that may be helpful. If you hold Z, you can swim while sinking with Iron Boots.Likewise, it’s possible to backflip over the Death Mountain guardrail as both child and adult and get the Heart Piece check above Dodongo’s Cavern.You can sidejump off the tall tower in Kakariko Village to get the Man on the Roof check without the hookshot.As an adult, you can backflip over Mido where he blocks you in the Lost Woods.Using bombs, you can damage Volvagia while it is underground.In Jabu Jabu’s Belly, you can roll from the blue switch to the door and open it before it locks up again.It’s possible to actually skip a major portion of the Deku Tree using this method. While in midair, you can jump slash to gain extra distance and bounce yourself around.Harming yourself with bombs can allow you to jump short one square gaps.Rapidly slashing your sword or gripping a wall will reduce the magic usage of the Cape.With the Super Bomb and Purple Chest, if you dash while the item is catching up to you, such as after taking damage or using the Hookshot, you won’t drop it.With the Pegasus Boots, pressing Y and A at the same time can allow you to use an item and dash at the same time.In the fight with Ganon, if all the torches are lit, it’s possible to damage him just before he warps with a spin attack instead of using silver arrows.It is mentioned later by our interviewee this week, but it is entirely possible to navigate dark rooms without the lamp if you have them memorized.

This week, I collected up a bunch of these exploits, all of which are allowed within Glitchless competitive play for randomizers. While wildly manipulating the hitboxes and boundaries of games as speedrunners often do is intimidating for most, there are still a number of more simple exploits one can take advantage of to get themselves through the games just a little bit faster and make life a little easier. This week, we have a bit more of an informal lesson for everyone.
