After you beat Dodongo's Cavern, bomb the rocks on Death Mountain Trail and walk down the path to get to the Great Fairy that gives you Din's Fire, the volcano erupts and spits flaming rocks at you, no? If anybody was curious, I finished the run! 38 deaths in all, which is pretty disappointing...

On that subject, does anyone have any ideas for other playthroughs I could do at a later date? I can think of taking the minimalist shtick even further and using the giant's knife, not L-Targeting at all or using iron boots for boss fights, or I guess I could do Ganondoor, DC -> credits skip or...

How the Seasons/Ages link works, if I remember correctly, is that after you beat one of the games you get a code for the other game. When you input this code it creates a new save file except you start with an extra health container and the wooden sword. There are some other changes with this...

How are you drawing your triforces? Try drawing in the following pattern:

What a surprise, I go to do something interesting regarding OoT and MW7's done it already. Thanks for the info, it's nice to know that Darunia's son is actually skippable. I did end up beating the Fire Temple with the Goron Tunic, and I can report it was easy and wholly unsatisfying. Ah well.

I managed to beat the Spirit Temple, and I can confirm that you do not need bombchus to beat it - you can blow up the crack in the wall if you throw a bomb at it. But I'm at an impasse. How do I get to the Fire Temple without getting the Goron Tunic? Darunia's son controls access to the door to...

I beat the Water Temple without the Zora Tunic! I got all the keys apart from the one at the very bottom of the central pillar - I didn't even bother trying to get that one, I knew it would be ridiculous. To make up for this, I didn't unlock the door on the central pillar, but saved + reset...

Well, I've started the run, I've just turned into an adult and I can confirm that it is possible to scale Death Mountain without the Hylian Shield... even if you manage to mistime every single roll. :( I'm not doing particularly well, though; I've already died three times. I intend to do the...

Well, I'm not good at video games by any stretch of the imagination, but I'll give it a go.

Man. That's very tempting. But no fairies! I'm not using my bottle unless the game forces me to (e.g. feeding Jabu-Jabu). If you're beating Volvagia that fast, do you need any extra items like, the Biggoron's Sword?

If I was gonna heavily abuse glitches, I'd just do Ganondoor, as that makes practically every item optional.

I intend to do the spirit temple early for the Mirror Shield, either second or third depending on whether I think the backwalking over the river trick is a significant glitch or not.

Yeah, I was pretty sure that was the case. I'll have to take some pictures during the run to show whether some of these items are optional or not, it seems.

Thanks for the quick responses, that clears things up. I'm still not convinced about the Zora Tunic though. I'll try without it and report back and then you can all laugh at me when it goes horribly wrong.

Hi there. I'm going to start a 'glitchless' minimal run of Ocarina of Time soon and I was wondering whether certain items were optional or not. If anyone could clear up any of the following that'd be great. Fire Arrows: Usually you can just use Din's Fire, but I remember there being one...
