In this category, the Back in Time glitch, and all its derivatives, are banned. All other glitches are allowed. This also means the file setup doesn't matter; all you need is a blank Hero Mode file in one of the three slots.

Your blank Hero Mode file needs at least one Ancient Flower (to repair Scrapper). Upgrading to the Quick Beetle is slower, but if you want to do the upgrade anyway, you'll need as well:

  • 2 Ancient Flower (so 3 total)
  • 2 Hornet Larvae
  • 1 Golden Skull

Skyloft

  • Zelda Cutscene at Goddess Statue
  • Groose Cutscene at Plaza
