Solutions to completing randomized runs of Ocarina of Time can sometimes be unintuitive. While your seed may appear to be unbeatable, this isn't often the case. Thanks to developers much smarter than myself, OoTR's logic is surprisingly robust. Listed below are some common sources of confusion, grouped by location. If you don't mind spoiling the rest of your playthrough, instructions to finding your next step will be listed here.
If you follow these steps and still need help, you're welcome to ask for support in the #questions-gameplay channel of our Discord Server. Make sure to provide your seed and setting string along with any important details about the issue. If it turns out you have indeed encountered a logical flaw, kind members of our team will report issues from there.
- Tilt the Control Stick to move around. Go through the door and you will reach Kokiri Forest. The game gets much easier from there.
- Any grotto you can open with Bombs may also be opened with Hammer.
- Some grottos will only reveal themselves when you play Song of Storms.
- The Fairy Bow/Quiver is required to win the special prize. Otherwise you will receive 50 rupees.
- Yes you can. Get a little closer and use the Hookshot.
- Project 64 is known to have issues with this, among other things. For the purposes of this project, we can only recommend using a different emulator.
- You can ignite the Bomb Flowers behind the boulders using Din's Fire.
- Even if you have serious Zelda skills (or Bombchus), a Bomb Bag is required. Bomb the Goron in the tunnel near the sign.
- Silver Guantlets are effective at clearing a path to each of the chests in the room. This will take some time, however.
- Skull Kid won't buy Skull Mask until you befriend him with Saria's Song.
- If you have access to Ganon's Castle, Blue Fire can be found in Water Trial.
- Blue Fire may be a purchasable item.
- As usual, Blue Fire can be obtained in Ice Cavern.
- You must have a sword in order to play the fishing minigame. It's because you need to threaten him or something.
// FIXME: Is this still true? Do you need Kokiri Sword specifically?
- In order to use the Scarecrow's Song, you must teach it to Bonooru as a child, and remind him again as an adult.
- Playing the Song of Time is the only requirement to opening the Door of Time.
- With Hover Boots you can float to the door connecting the large block-pushing room with the courtyard.
- The Goron's Bracelet is required to push these blocks, even as adult. Link only put on gauntlets to keep his hands from drying out.
- Using only the Hover Boots, you can float down to the shortcut to Goron City, and across the dilapidated bridge.
- You can also reach this bottom area with Scarecrow's Song and the Longshot by by jumping onto the platforms below and pulling yourself across the pool of lava.
// FIXME: Do you need Hover Boots to reach the platforms around scarecrow?
- With Hover Boots equipped, it's a simple matter of floating over to the boss door. That said, you'll need the Hammer to actually do anything in there.
- Use the Hover Boots to reach the chest.
- After shooting the eye switch, crossing the gap with Hover Boots will get you past the gate before it closes.
- Cast Farore's Wind inside the center room. Raise the water to its highest level and return to the warp point. Swim to the surface to reach the Gold Skulltula.
- With the water level lowered, jump down to the second level of the central structure. Use the Hookshot to climb onto the top level. With a well-spaced rolling jump you should be able to reach the ledge where you can raise the water to its highest level.
- Backflip onto the chest spawned in the middle of the room. From there you can use the Hookshot to reach the upper ledge.
- You can bypass pushing the large block by shooting the ladder with a Hookshot.
- Play the Scarecrow's Song to summon Pierre. Shoot his face with the Longshot to get to the other side.
- You can hit the crystal switch with a well-timed Bombchu placement in the opposite direction. Hopefully you'll hit it, or you'll have to go out and buy more Bombchus.
- Child Link is perfectly capable of lighting the torches using only a Deku Stick.
- You can reach the floating rupee by jumping into the boulder with a jump slash.
- With a Longshot, shoot the chest opposite from the Mirror Shield chest to gain access to its contents and the end of child-side.
- You can reach the torch at the end of this room using only the Hookshot.
- The target on the ceiling is just within range of the Hookshot if you stand directly under it.
- A wallmaster can also lift you up into the rupee if it's the last one you need to collect.
- A precise shot of an arrow through the torch will burn the web to reveal the sunlight. Or moonlight. Maybe it's a big lamp, idk.
The spoiler log can be very helpful when looking for important items you missed. It takes only a few steps:
- Open the spoiler log generated alongside your ROM. It should be formatted as
OoT_SETTINGSTR_SEED_Spoiler.txt. - Scroll down to the section labeled Way of the Hero.
- Ensure that you have collected all the items listed in the section, as they are essential to beating the game.
