Thanks to u/[email protected] for turning me on to Ship of Harkinian. It’s my opinion after messing with it for a half hour that this is THE way to experience OoT again.
Here’s a link to their comment if you’d like to upvote it.
“Hey, Mom. Can we have OoT?”
“We already have OoT at home!”
The OoT at home:
I’ve been running Ocarina when I can. I just completed the Water Temple. All I need now are the Fire and Shadow Medallions, then I can whack Ganondorf.
I don’t even have a Switch 2, and I’m not buying it just to be sold nostalgia I can already relive with stuff I’ve had for like 20 years. That said, I am running it on Gopher64 this time around.
Are you doing a randomizer? Three hearts after mirror shield which is an item you get in the last dungeon and still needing the fire medallion is an interesting way to play the vanilla game
Nope, I’m running vanilla. I’m experimenting with what you can do out of order. There’s nothing stopping you from just leaving the Water Temple to do Spirit Temple after you get the longshot. I’m sure there’s a way to get there without the longshot too.
I’m also doing a 3 heart run because OoT is actually pretty easy. There does come a point where you have to start doing boss fights perfectly because every hit is OHKO. I’ve finished a run like this before. But now that I know about Ship, I’m gonna turn the damage multipliers way up and give myself a reason to actually get hearts.
