Casual Competition weird-seed for the 1st week of October - mystery

Weekly Weird Challenge

I think I like reduced dungeons instead of clustered for pottery lottery. You're normally exploring the entire dungeon anyway, so I like having pots everywhere. But it doesn't make a huge difference. Also, last week's seed could have been a big jet seed if you found the route.

This week is a mystery, using my custom weightset. TLDR is it has a chance to roll item rando (with minor customizer settings for possible boots start and different keysanity combinations), entrance rando, strange customizer settings, or some extra spicy modes like chaos damage with extra safeties or major item shuffle (it's worth checking out the list of major item locations if you're not familiar with them).

Quick reminder of the rules:

  • This is not a rule but a clarification. Seeds will always use the None Glitch Required option so it won't be specified.
  • Quickswap and Palette shuffle may be used without restriction.
  • Major glitches are forbidden, competitive glitches are allowed as per the ALTTPR Racing Ruleset.
  • Timing is based on in-game timer.
  • All "thinking" time should be done in-game on the clock.
  • Reset using save quit to preserve in-game timing. Hard resets are not allowed.
  • Halting the game (turning off the clock) to do real life stuff is fine.
  • Fast-forwarding is fine.
  • Rewind isn't allowed.
  • Save states can be used to halt/continue the game, but not as a way to revert mistakes.
  • At the end of the run, put your total time and comments using spoilers for comments with info about item placement please (time or general thoughts are not necessary to hide them).
  • And for anyone new, remember that it's for fun. These seeds are here to help foster friendly competition, to share in a challenge, and to offer a comparison point for how well your run went.

!Major Item Shuffle is back. The good thing about standard seeds is that it's really easy to pick them if you know what to look for. Major Item in Link's House. Weapon on Uncle (required anyway). Major Item in Secret Passage. Vanilla Map. Major Item in Boomerang Chest. 5 Rupees in Zelda's Cell. Yeah, I can start skipping, but I'll pick up the 300 rupees in the back for Bottle Vendor and Zora.!<

!The actual seed turned out to be a bit of a troll with late Mitts and Flute in Pyramid Fairy, and a hidden requirement to get all 7 crystals to get into GT. Also, Vitty in Skull Woods is really hard. At least I had the cape for it (and a bottle, but I'd have to run out and fill it up).!<

!Realized it was major item shuffle as soon as the three chests in back of escape were vanilla, so that obviously saved a lot of time. The rest of the seed was not very fast though. Always fun when the first bottle for Sick Kid opens up the rest of the seed. Vitreous in Skull Woods kicked my ass with no armor and no silvers, had to come back later with potions. Then of course went to GT with my six crystals only to get trolled. Didn't have Bombos for TR, so had to leave and find that.!<

!Could have been better, realized major item shuffle only at hype cave. K.O twice at Skull Woods Virtreous, seems impossible with low hearts, no safties and only Master sword. Came back later with Tempered. Rest was fast until getting troll by a 7 crystal GT, luckily Bombos hunt was quick!<

!First time ever doing a seed like this, didn't fully understand the major item shuffle thing otherwise I probably could've saved a ton of time. Vitreous in SW has to be the worst boss fight I've ever tried. I wish I went there after getting the cape cause it would've made my life insanely easier.!<
