Any% (Beginner)

Most Recent Update

  • (January 23, 2024)
  • Re-added this route to ZSR to help new runners
  • Still need to add links for tricks, bosses, etc.

This route is intended for beginners. The fastest route, which can be found here, is somewhere around 10 minutes faster. The fastest run on the beginner route can be found here, and it might be a useful visual reference for following along with this route. That said, that run does not do every possible strategy, and a few minor things in this route were discovered later on.
