100% (No Grove 2 Skip)

This route is intended for NA Wii 1.0 only. EU/AU (PAL) and JP will work, but you will have to properly clear the Cave of Ordeals.

Note that most GCN&Wii tricks/glitches linked in this route are done on Gamecube and therefore are mirrored on the Wii version.


Runs should start with a blank file in slots 1, 2, and 3.

Equips are routed into the route. All equips are listed after any change in equips.
