FranceI think this is the fastest time for an adamantoise kill :
But no there are no official leaderboards
don't worry it's fine, the moderator verifying your run will fix it
If your lack of consistency is due to bad timing of the imputs, you can check this video out, it might help you :
Frog skip doesn't work on the 1.3 version on the game, which is the version that is typically used for speedruns
Hello !
I don't really have any advice to give you (since I'm not an OOT speedrunner or particularly good with that) but to try and go ask this question in the OOT Discord if you don't get any answers here, because there are much more people than here and it's generally better suited to ask questions and get answers
I wish you good luck !
Honestly that's true, but glitch hunters have been searching for glitches and their applications for just as long, so I think finding timesaves is really hard, whether it's glitches or not. That said, if you really want to investigate and help the community that would be really helpful and appreciated !

No not necessarily, it may just be slightly changing the order in which the moon are collected so it's a little faster (like the sand reroute)
First Moon Skip works exactly the same as it did on previous versions such as 1.0, however on 1.3 the Madame Broode Fight cannot be triggered if the First Moon hasn't been collected.
So to answer your question, yes First Moon Skip works on 1.3, but since it means that Madame Brood cannot be fought, it's just not viable for speedruns anymore, and that's why runners don't use it.
Is there a particular reason why you are asking this question though ?
Yeah I completely agree too, it would be nice to see runs on something different like that
Like basically Moon IL but Moon Cave Skip is banned ? If so, I don't know, it could be interesting but it could also be boring. If this category is runned enough it will probably be added to the leaderboards though
I'm not really sure about that, the coins you get in the frog room, during the Topper fight and in the Madame Broodal fight don't really lose any time in my opinion. The test way to test this is obviously to do a run with it (which i am not going to do, sorry)
Well honestly that's a great idea, it would be the perfect way to make people know about and use the route. Additionally, there's a good chance that Xbox puts it in one of his videos since it's quite a big discovery for the category, and if you can get a nice clip of it as well as a good explanation of how it works it is almost certain that you will be included in one of his videos (in my opinion). So try, it can only go well ;)
You can if you want, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary. The issue now is going to be how to make runners know and use this route, not really explain how to do it. Honestly I'm definitely not a top runner and I perfectly understood what you meant, your explanation was pretty clear
And I know Bud's method works too, but I personnally find it harder, but it might be because i haven't practiced it enough
Apparently here is an easy method :
I don't know how reliable, easy or realistic it is because I haven't tried it for myself. I invite you to try it though, because it might be really helpful
Also here is the author the the thread where they actually explain how to perform the technique properly :
I mean I'm not an expert about that, I just personnally think that those discoveries would be better posted on the Discord. Additionnally, if this thread stays on the website, you might want to rename it so people know exactly what it is about
