Chart Set RNG Manipulation
With a hard reset it is possible to consistently get certain chart sets with precise file start timings. This is due to the fact that the RNG the game uses is predictable right after a boot.
Goron Trading Sequence
To get all the heart pieces, one must get the heart piece from trading the Shop Guru Statue to the Goron on Greatfish Island. This requires going through most of the trading sequence in the game. The table below shows all the possible trades.
| Goron Trading Sequence | ||||
| Traded Item | Greatfish Island Goron (Rupees) | Mother & Child Isles Goron (Rupees) | Bomb Island Goron (Rupees) | Zunari's Price |
| Town Flower | Sea Flower (20) | Sea Flower (20) | Sea Flower (20) | 10 Rupees |
| Sea Flower | Exotic Flower (25) | Town Flower (10) | Town Flower (10) | 20 Rupees |
| Exotic Flower | Sea Flower (20) | Pinwheel (55) | Sickle Moon Flag (40) | 25 Rupees |
| Hero's Flag | Postman Statue (100) | Big Sale Flag (35) | Big Catch Flag (85) | 75 Rupees |
| Big Catch Flag | Fountain Idol (65) | Sickle Moon Flag (40) | Fountain Idol (65) | 85 Rupees |
| Big Sale Flag | Hero's Flag (75) | Big Catch Flag (85) | Hero's Flag (75) | 35 Rupees |
| Pinwheel | Exotic Flower (25) | Exotic Flower (25) | Sickle Moon Flag (40) | 55 Rupees |
| Sickle Moon Flag | Fountain Idol (65) | Big Catch Flag (85) | Fountain Idol (65) | 40 Rupees |
| Skull Tower Idol | Fountain Idol (65) | Big Sale Flag (35) | Fountain Idol (65) | 60 Rupees |
| Fountain Idol | Skull Tower Idol (60) | Big Sale Flag (35) | Sickle Moon Flag (40) | 60 Rupees |
| Postman Statue | Fountain Idol (65) | Shop Guru Statue (200) | Fountain Idol (65) | 100 Rupees |
| Shop Guru Statue | Heart Piece or Postman Statue (100) | Postman Statue (100) | Postman Statue (100) | 200 Rupees |
Obtaining the Delivery Bag will trigger Zunari giving you the first Town Flower, as well as spawn all the pedestals throughout the game. Then obtaining the Exotic Flower triggers Zunari into giving you the Magic Armor.
You are limited to 3 trades per day. Once this limit is reached, you must wait until midnight (or play the song of passing to midnight) to be able to trade more items again. The fastest way to get the heart piece is by minimizing the number of trips to each island. This is done with the following sequence:
- Obtain the Town Flower from Zunari
- Trade twice on Greatfish Island for the Exotic Flower (Town Flower -> Sea Flower -> Exotic Flower) for 45 rupees
- Trade twice on Bomb Island for the Fountain Idol (Exotic Flower -> Sickle Moon Flag -> Fountain Idol) for 105 rupees
- Trade once on Mother & Child Isles for the Big Sale Flag (Fountain Idol -> Big Sale Flag) for 35 rupees
- Trade twice on Greatfish Island for the Postman Statue (Big Sale Flag -> Hero's Flag -> Postman Statue) for 175 rupees
- Trade once on Mother & Child Isles for the Shop Guru Statue (Postman Statue -> Shop Guru Statue) for 200 rupees
- Trade once on Greatfish Island for the Heart Piece
This costs 560 rupees. This route skips the Big Catch Flag, the Pinwheel and the Skull Tower Idol.
The fastest way to fully complete the Goron Trading Sequence by getting all the items involves a well-timed trip to Windfall Island to resupply on trade items. This avoid extra trips to the other islands which are generally not wanted. The following sequence is recommended:
- Obtain the Town Flower from Zunari
- Trade twice on Greatfish Island for the Exotic Flower (Town Flower -> Sea Flower -> Exotic Flower) for 45 rupees
- Trade twice on Bomb Island for the Fountain Idol (Exotic Flower -> Sickle Moon Flag -> Fountain Idol) for 105 rupees
- Trade twice on Mother & Child Isles for the Big Catch Flag (Fountain Idol -> Big Sale Flag -> Big Catch Flag) for 120 rupees, then either discard it or put it onto a pedestal
- At Windfall Island, buy 1 Exotic Flower, 1 Big Sale Flag and 1 Fountain Idol for 120 rupees
- Trade the Fountain Idol once on Greatfish Island for the Skull Tower Idol, then trade the Big Sale Flag twice for the Postman Statue (Big Sale Flag -> Hero's Flag -> Postman Statue) for 235 rupees
- Tade the Exotic Flower once on Mother & Child Island for the Pinwheel, then trade the Postman Statue once for the Shop Guru Statue (Postman Statue -> Shop Guru Statue) for 255 rupees
- Trade the Shop Guru Statue once on Greatfish Island for the Heart Piece
This costs 880 rupees. Doing this trade sequence without restocking at Windfall is less expensive but slower. However, be very careful about the 3 trade per day limit in this case, as this route pushes it.
