I'm not a big fan of glitches, but if they're glitches that are easy to run I'll give them a try, good luck with the set
Delmaru 26 Apr 2023 05:54
A little late, but I think most of the set would be fairly accessible. I'm making sure that I can at least do everything, especially so they can be tested working.

Didn't see the dinosaur jump (Eastern Palace) https://alttp-wiki.net/index.php/Dinosaur_Jump and Hammeryump (Easter Palace too) https://youtu.be/IMqqGzU_eo0?t=203... This tricks can be done easily by 2-5 minutes setup training. I think race game clip is pretty easy too
cykette 10 May 2023 03:03
I thought it was neat seeing these. I was a speedrunner of the game a few years ago and a lot of these were used in my runs. Finally, a use for my completely useless speedrunning skills! Woohoo! Also, I'm glad the Hammeryump isn't on here. That one was a pain to set up quickly.
JetForceGeneric 13 May 2023 01:04
It was fun finally learning and trying out all the glitches I've seen others use countlessly. ╰(▔∀▔)╯
Kyluya 25 May 2023 21:03
I just used the hookshot in the ice cave in the room with the 3 orange Bari and i yanked the stalfos knight from the ceiling. LOL
Jonny8567 4 Jun 2023 22:22
This is a fun set! Only glitches I knew from this game were the ones that i'd do in NMG speedruns, and the exploration glitch to beat the game in like 5 min. It was fun learning some of the more major glitches, and getting to dark world early.

As a big ALTTP randomizer fan, I had a lot of fun with these achievements. I was able to learn a few new things here. Thanks a lot for this.
WarlordBear 10 Jul 2023 16:58
Was a really fun set to master. Thank you for this.
intaurnet 23 Aug 2023 05:08
That was a great set. As a randomiser/budding speedrunner I really appreciate having these here as a learning tool (although arrowless Ganon is still intimidating despite me doing it)
