Seems this just doesn't register sometimes? Definitely just beat the game for the second time doing this revision, and I'm somehow unranked here.

Should submit upon entering triforce room if you killed Ganon with h silver arrows and it's your first completion on that file.

DainBread 24 May 2023 20:19

That's, kind of why I posted that... I've clearly beaten the game twice, once with a full suit, and once with no bottles most recently, and yet, no record is here. Is there some other condition to ranking for this board other than a silver arrow kill? I even got recorded for the speedkill Ganon board.

Send me a save state (let me know which core) after you've beaten Ganon on a not-yet-completed save and I can look into it.

*after Ganon, before Triforce room

The death counter used doesn't seem accurate, I definitely died at a few points and saved.

Similarly, I never actually died even once on my playthrough (including being revived by a fairy), but I did Save and Quit multiple times. At the end I got a score of 1 Death. My ending score in-game was "19 Games Played". I suspect whatever value it's pulling from isn't 100% perfect.

doesn't seem to register properly. I am registered as zero deaths but I definitely died during my playthrough!

It doesn't register properly at all. Zero deaths, 13 saves. The game registers 13 properly, this site does not count deaths properly. I finished a 0 run tonight and it's better than my 4 deaths from a week ago (registered as 2 on here).

Anyone with bad submit values running anything other than the base US hash?

TheMysticalOne 13 Jul 2023 11:59

"Save and Quit" internally counts as a death.

Wangfou 14 Jul 2023 22:14

I was using the totally normal US Hash

Found the problem with why it was submitting lower scores than reality. Unfortunately, that means most of the entries were 'bad data' and so I reset this leaderboard. But it should now be the correct number of deaths the way the SNES version tracks them (which means save and quit counts as a death).

Resetting all the leaderboard entries was a totally bad decision, I did a complete run to get the top 1 and now I lost the top 1 because of this action! thank you very much for this crap

Leaving a leaderboard that is full of bad submissions is a bad decision. This was an unfortunate situation, but there's only one correct solution and it's what TMO did.

useless leaderboard, as there is no death counter in alttp code. As "save and quit" counts as death this leaderboard just shows who is commited enough to play it one shot (e.g. has no life) or who lets the emu run over night :-)
