Still on my first playthrough of this game, but it already looks like an amazing speedgame I would want to run at some point! Here are my two cents on categories.
First of all, I'm pretty sure we are supposed to be discussing what the main categories for BotW should be. I see a lot of people talking about meme categories and categories that "might be fun to run". Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this thread is for what the MAIN categories should be.
Anyways, here's what I think the main categories should be:
Any% - Beat the game as fast as possible. All Dungeons - Tame the four Divine Beasts and beat the game. All Main Quests - Complete all main quests in the game and beat the game.
Also, can we have a dropdown for the language the game is run on?
Is there any sort of update on dates, hotel, submissions, etc.?
Just saw this today and it looks really cool! I'll see if I can join the race.
As a Pokemon Red/Blue runner, I wanted to point out that for the Beat Brock category, you do not need to pick up Nidoran at all. It is completely unnecessary.
If you get a paras early you should catch that one and then modify the manipulation to get no encounters to rocket. It's not worth it to get moon exp because your Nidoking is so good that it wouldn't benefit from it enough. The only benefit for our Nidoking is that the Oddish range in rock tunnel would be guaranteed with moon exp
