I did runs of this in 2022 and I got a 2:02 but I hovered. I thought about this a lot and I think it's reasonable for an NMG category to ban hovering (much like in Gerudo Exile leaderboards). However, I'd like to upload my run and as of this post there isn't a Hover category.
Can we have a separate category (really a grouping of categories for 100% if anyone ever runs that) which allows hovering. I believe this makes a lot of sense. The run is quite different and hovering is a testy trick so I think differentiating is a great idea.
Thanks.
Here is a post by Letterbomb in his discord detailing 100%
Also here is a map he made https://imgur.com/a/S46X0o7
To quote him
"Items for 100% Completion:
10 Hearts, L1 Sword, L1 shield and Mirror Shield, Bow, Silver Arrows, Boomerang 1 and 2, Blue Mail, Red Mail, Bombs, Fire Rod, Ice Rod, Lamp, Bug Catching Net, 2 Bottles, Pegasus Boots, L1 Gloves, Flute, Hookshot, Moonpearl, and all 3 Pendants."
However, I could not find the red mail and the map does not have it. Additionally you can, without major glitches find the ether medallion due to reentering the agahnim fight and getting what would be the red pendant (which happens to be ether).
Considering this ether does nothing and it's quite a stretch to get this (also this clearly is not developer intended), it seems odd to add it to 100%, but in my opinion it should still be a part of the 100% rules. I think in general in ALTTP romhacks this should be the general spirit.
...
To sum up this post, ether can be attained without major glitches, however its clearly not intended and I think it should be in the currently not defined 100% rules.
This romhack was originally made as a part of the 18 hour challenge by JaredBrian. Since then there has been a 1.0 version and a 2.0 version. The 2.0 version of the any% run is quite a bit different than the 1.0 rom. In my opinion, and based on a few specific points, I believe the 2.0 run is better. It should also be considered the final version.
I think there should be a separate category for version 2.0. With this being said, I also believe there should be a 100% run added for version 2.0.
In addition to this I would like for v2.0 to be the 'main' version. Obviously I can't just change that as it is based on people's attitudes and player trends, but it's clearly a more complete rom and product.
...
At any rate, I don't know how to call for a 100% and any% v2.0 board, but that is my goal of this post.
Yeah that's a great idea. We might reach other runners that want to see what they could get with a more consistent NMG run.
My longer term goal is to get a leaderboard so that those who run this romhack don't have to compare to the already existing NMG leaderboard (it's both unfair to the existing NMG leaderboard but also discredits those who do runs on the 0bb romhack).
@poisonscurls I'll post a link here

It's an SFC file which dropbox doesn't understand so it asks you to be careful but its clearly not a virus. just click download.
To be clear I've never been banned on SRC. This is actually my original account (look at date made).
I have been speedrunning ALTTP with a 0bb rom (for Agahnim, also makes Gannon 0 warps!) but I have nowhere to upload my times. I was wondering how we can get a category for Any% NMG 0bb rom?
If anyone wants the download link, dm me on here or on twitch!
