The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Minimalist Run - Part 1

I apologize in advance for the audio quality of the commentary... I thought it might have worked in my favor to boost the microphone. It didn't.

This is a minimalist run of ALTTP. For those who don't understand what this means, I am playing through the game grabbing ONLY mandatory items (without glitching)! However, I'm being lenient on the whole dungeon item front (Map, keys, etc.), so I may end up accidentally grabbing a dungeon item I don't need. While it may not seem hard on pen and paper, later, things get pretty challenging later! In this video, I make my way through Hyrule Castle and reach the Eastern Palace.

Here is a list of things I am NOT getting in this run:
Boomerang T_T
Mushroom/Powder
Bombos Medallion
Bug Catching Net
Bottles (!)
Cane of Byrna
Magic Cape
Any swords past Master
Any Tunic upgrades
Any optional Heart Pieces/Containers

I also intend to lose my shield as the first thing I do in the Dark World. My final stats should be: 13 Hearts, Level 2 Sword, and green tunic in addition to the mandatory items.

I have done this before, so I don't intend to fail as much as I did last time. Place your bets on when my first death will be! (My money's on Helmasaur King :P) Also, make a guess as to how many times I'll die in this run... I would be extremely surprised if I ran this flawlessly (especially with the tiny margin of error I'll have when fighting Trinexx).

Enjoy the show!

Nah, I can live with that microphone quality. Maybe it's not "OMG AWESOME", but it's nowhere near below YouTube standards. I could definitely live with this.

Especially to hear your cries of pain in later dungeons that kicketh Lunk's asseth. XD Oooooooh. Ahahahah. That'll be fun to see/hear.

And I'd put money on your first death being Vitreous - or at least that he'll cause *a* death, if not several. Heh.

Gasp, Bohepans found me! But honestly, if Helmasaur doesn't get me, Mothula or Blind will... at least I think so.

Good god. AND4H voice on youtube. We're Fucked.

[AND4H]

Dat's right! MWAHHAHAHAHAHHAAH!

[83r6]

for the record, the quality's not that bad. cant wait for the start of the darkworld, that's where things are going to get interesting.

[AND4H]

Oh yea, that's going to be great! XD

I'm gonna guess your first death will be Helmasaur King.

This is a pretty cool run-through. I'll have to try this sometime.

While I'm thinking of it, I never understood why Hyrule Castle's B2 exists. It's just one room that leads straight to B3. Why not just make what is B3 into B2, and get rid of the current B2.
