Navigation
100%
Information:
This route is a more advanced version of 100% that implements Grove 2 Skip (G2S) and faster D/N cycles. It is intended for NA Wii 1.0 only. While PAL and JP versions will work, you will have to clear Cave of Ordeals without floor skips.
- Coro TD (Text Displacement) is not required for this route, progression and rupee routing is based around Telma TD instead.
- While there exists a Coro TD route that is slightly faster, it is not yet considered RTA-friendly.
Runs should start with a blank file in slots 1, 2, and 3.
Equips are routed into the route and listed after changes occur. In the route, equips in gold are equips that you directly changed with that equip. Equips in maroon are equips that were modified without you directly changing them (this includes Ooccoo/Ooccoo Jr transitions, Lent Bag Losses, etc.) - these are color-coded for your awareness only.
Because this run tends to be 6-7 hours at top level, practicing and preparation is highly recommended. Also do note the (unskippable) cutscene breaks.

Addenda
Alternative Routes:
It is worth noting there are some slightly faster alternatives to this route but generally aren't considered worth or haven't been properly routed. These include:
- Coro Text Displacement (saves approximately 20-25 seconds)
- King Bulblin 1 Trigger Skip (also saves 20 seconds)
- Using Ooccoo to leave Lakebed, then doing a precise moonboots bomb boost in Goron Mines (overall saves 5s)
Day-Night Cycles
Relative difficulty of each day-night cycle:
- Post MDH: Not too difficult and has some leniency, but costs time to fail because of the Poes at the end.
- Post AG / Pre-SPR: Quite short. Not tight on time at all.
- Post ToT: The toughest day-night cycle in the route. It has an estimated 30 seconds of leniency.
- Post Cave: fairly lenient and also a good opportunity to grab anything missed, especially Poes.
Some considerations for the Post-ToT D/N cycle:
- Poes: ones that can be skipped or relocated include the Kakariko Gorge Poe and the Connection Cave Poe.
- Rupees: The Snowpeak Cave 100R will cost D/N time as it also passes inside the cave. Kakariko Graveyard 50R is a safer, albeit slower backup.
- Kakariko Gorge: If you forgot to place Epona, warp Kakariko Village to call her and ride her to Gorge.
- If you miss both the Gorge HPs and Poe, a good time to return is after Cave of Ordeals to grab them in one trip.
Other Notes:
- There are various backup rupees. See GCN 100% addenda for a full list, most of which also apply in this route too.
