OK, I'll be a bit clearer. The aim of the challenge is to complete the game 100% (minus two pieces of heart for convenience), which means all items, all bottles, all upgrades and all masks. Because of the annoying nature of the target games to get two particular pieces of heart I am allowing...

Simply put, you have to get (almost) 100% complete in 4 cycles (including the initial Deku cycle). I say "almost 100%" because I'll be generous and let you off on the 2 most difficult heart containers (ie the target ones - they're just a pain if you aren't in the zone). Warning: This...

[smug mode]I'm officially awesome! It's 4.36am on the final day and I've saved by the clock tower with every dungeon beaten, 10 hearts, 4 fairies in bottles, the gilded sword and the Postman, Stone, Great Fairy, Keaton, Bremen, Bunny, Romani, Kafei, Couples, Kamaro, Gibdo, Garo, Captain and...

I'm going to give this a bash. Although to make it more of a challenge I'm going to do it from the second cycle, so I'll have to drop a few things from the list for time/practicality reasons. The challenge I'm going to try goes like this: 1.Beat all the bosses (including temples) 2.Beat the...

The status of the run I just described is where I am at the end of just two cycles. I'm quite honestly utterly obsessed with doing a "perfect" second cycle these days. I've got a walkthrough I wrote a couple of months ago which describes what I would now consider a fairly crappy 6 day run. The...

Navi's not annoying. "HEY! LISTEN!" is my text alert tone.

Well, it's 04:54am on the final day (1 hour 6 minutes to moonfall) and I managed to get the fairies from everywhere but snowhead and 3 more heart pieces in the time I had left. So here I am after a mere 6 days with 11 hearts, all items except for two bottles, double defence and the full spin...

A MM master quest would be quite a tricky one to pull of I think, since the dungeons are principally global puzzles (except the first). With OoT they just had to think of a different puzzle for each room. MM would require a bit more thought, but I'd still buy it in a pecosecond.

I'm currently obsessed with MM speed runs so I always do it in 2 cycles these days. But I've decided the next stage of the challenge to be to see how much of the side quests I can get done in those first two cycles. I have a base template from the first cycle which I always play on from in which...

The time limit on MM makes it a different experience every time you play. People complain about the time limit spoiling exploration in the game, but for me it was all about exploration; you just had an added dimension to your exploring. And the Bomber's notebook is pretty damn obvious when you...

You can save whenever you like and anything you pick up will be saved. Basically if it goes in your inventory then you'll have it on the dawn of the first day. So the easiest way to play the game is to just use the Song of Time every time you pick up something important. If you really want to...

If it's not the see-saw room, then it will be the room just off the main swirling area that you change the flow direction of. In the north (I think, it's opposite where you come in at any rate) of that room is a ladder behind a waterfall which you must freeze to access.

Can't post it, but I absolutely love sunrise over Lake Hylia.

You cannot switch off your game after restarting from a save at an owl statue or it will reset to the last time you used the Song of Time. I'm pretty sure this is what you're getting wrong. Edit: As far as the sword goes, you have to get the razor sword first (by dawn of the 2nd day) and then...

Have you read what the owl statue says when you save? It's made quite clear that you cannot reset the game after saving at an owl statue and return to the save. You have to either use an owl statue again or save using the Song of Time. If you have access to both save slots and you expect...
