I think the previous rules kind of suffer from old age. I should probably update those. There's no japanese text patch around as far as I know. (According to KiddoCabbuses)

From the looks of the txt file, they're just sprite changes, except for the magic shield one. Which we don't even get in either any% or 100%.

I'd be fine with allowing the use of it, if you wanted the original master sword sprite and book sprite.

Sorry for the late response, but I believe the version that we primarily use is

III b, Download the LOZ - Third Quest patch, which purpose is to transform BS Zelda into an old fashion Legend of Zelda game. Included are:

• disable the timer and hide it by Dreamer_Nom/Con
• advance the game triforce related by Roto/Dreamer_Nom
• Classic characters tile set by TeRRaBiTe88/Vel/Con
• Triforce tile set by Con
• Magic Key & Red Ocarina patch by Con
• Zelda-style title screen and item screens by DaMarsMan/Con
• End Screen with Death Counter by Mottzilla/Con
• Quick Save with Red Heart by Con
• Remove Red Spots marking dungeons by Con
• enable Magic Shield unused frames by Con
• anti-monster respawn by Con
• English Translation by Bumpus/Duke Serkol/SmashManiac
• Check the subfolder "optional patches" for more optional patches!

That one on the list on the website. I'd have to do some more research because I was just handed the rom at some point in my time of running it, and I haven't taken the time to verify which version it actually is.

When I tried using Up+A, it doesn't work as intended. For starters, I started back at start, and it forced me back into Wood Sword cave.

So the time save doesn't seem viable tbh.

All the update did was remove the shadows. The font is still the same.

I won't get into the discussion here, I'll just DM Dubldrop like they recommended, but I'd like to make a comment to this.

"Now the real anwser: This font is not that painfull! Its not pretty but it is fine."

To you, it's fine. But you aren't the only member of the community. You're excluding people with vision impairments. I have members in my community that love the game, but cannot bare to look at the font in its current state, as it hurts their eyes. Hence why I initially looked into font modification in the first place.

"Modifications to the game are not allowed. This includes modifications to the in-game font through either custom font packs as well as the JP <-> EN font swap."

I feel like this rule shouldn't include text modification, as all it does is modify the text. The original text is very painful to read for some runners, and viewers. Is there any chance to discuss this to change?

Seems the OP has deleted the post lol. Will lock this post.

The rules have been updated for clear conditions, and requirements for the categories.

Changed 100% because it didn't indicate that the bomb upgrades and any key must be collected. Also removed the hylian shield from the requirements as it's not an inventory item, and can be lost to a Like Like.

Should we remove the times on the board that don't meet these new verification requirements?

No, 100% just pertains to collecting inventory items.

All dungeon items, heart containers, the any key. etc etc.

I normally do enter/instrument grabs for my splits. Then the ending.

Before when we timed it before multiple skips were found, it was 46 seconds. So it's probably less than that.
