MrCheeze | Ocarina of Time Better NSR Idea - Get every item/upgrade from a rock @MrCheeze | Uploaded January 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
The previous NSR ACE idea turned out to have major routing issues, due to fire medallion preventing you from getting the remaining missing items via Goron City Pot Chest SRM. Therefore, here is a more powerful (but more difficult to use) ACE that gives even more items by just calling the "receive item/upgrade" function directly.

Filename: 0801BF73 81852592

With this small payload that fits only in filename, every time you look at the kid rock, it will place an item into your inventory based on the high byte of Link's rotation. The items received correspond to those in this spreadsheet:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SLJzamokLb7wDOaJh5x8DsxmMBy9oIYawyDN3dAWppw/edit#gid=1992770420

Unfortunately it's not quite as simple as spinning in a circle. Certain items take special precautions:
- SOLD OUT should be avoided as it probably doesn't qualify as child trade quest completion by any ruleset.
- Some items crash on N64 and/or corrupt inventory slots. It's unknown exactly which ones crash, but best to avoid those labelled simply "Item #NNN" and maybe also the "Fairy Bow+Elemental Arrows" ones.
- Certain items place themselves in the Bombchu Slot. If this happens, there is no way to ever get Bombchus back again, and you have to reset. Specifically, the Giant's Knife, Fishing Rod, and Bomb Bag (20). The first two you have to avoid, but the Bomb Bag (20) is a special case: you need to receive it for exactly one frame, because doing so is the only way to ever have bombs in your inventory slot. But you can't receive it for more than one frame because this will overwrite Bombchus permanently. Be careful with this one.

Getting all this RTA isn't going to be simple, and even making it to the rock without messing up your inventory is a challenge in itself. But you do have the advantage of being able to pause and check what's been written to inventory to work out where your current angle is.

Finally, once all this is done, it still remains to become adult (couldn't fit that in the payload unfortunately) in order to pick up Biggoron's Sword, Magic, Double Magic, and Double Defense, then reach the credits by any method.
