homerfunky | Oot: Improved fire hover (27 explosives) @homerfunky | Uploaded October 2019 | Updated October 2024, 46 minutes ago.
This is a proof of concept of a strategy I've been thinking of recently to save explosives for fire hover in order to make this wonderful strat possibly usable in a TAS. I'm very happy that I got it to work !
This saves roughly 23 explosives compared to the previous strat: youtube.com/watch?v=qkwS1Apg32w but this one is much harder to pull off. In addition, this saves around 1 minute if we compare it to my MST TAS (youtu.be/x97xdk3Fv7o?t=3365).
The new strat is that I use a well-placed fairy and a bomb to get ISG out of bounds thanks to this method: youtube.com/watch?v=iYD2NHIEio0 and consequently, avoiding hovering all the way up to the ceiling.
I hacked my health up to a big number at the beginning in order to have enough time to do the strat, and also hacked it during the Darunia cutscene because I was too lazy to loose health there.
I think it could be possible to save one explosive at the beginning of the hover, but I'm not sure.
Also, it's still unsure whether or not taking a heart container will be required to have enough time, because I used roughly 30 seconds of the timer, but I think that using bombchus for all hovers before loading the maze room, and doing the fairy setup faster may be sufficient to pull it off with 3 hearts !
Unfortunately, 27 explosives is still too much, as the bomb limit is 20, and bombchus are really precious, but for a 1 minute save, it could be worth.
