Getting used to my new controller -- an 8bitdo (previously used an iBuffalo, which now has a sticky dpad). The 8bitdo is a bit more sensitive to diagonals than I'd like and I may open it up to do a little DIY modding to address that.

Pretty interesting seed with a roller coaster of emotions:
Yay early luxury items, early flute!
Wait a minute, cape + early swords + early pearl = aga1???
Oh, mitts are in hera, we have dark world access without aga1, hooray!
Lamp in hype cave, oh goodie maybe we can clear DP? Sweet, DP isn't boots locked. Wait, lamp means....aga1??? I still haven't checked hera basement but I decide to go for aga1, all signs point to it now that I've exhausted EP/etc.
Hookshot in PoD, okay we're on the right track. Progression must be on east DM somewhere...
Wait...flippers? That.....doesn't unlock much without the hammer. So now we're stuck between dipping IP without hammer, SP without hammer, MM without somaria, or walking from pyramid to catfish.
Shovel in MM which led to hammer, woohoo we did it! Fire rod in SP, sweet! Hmm...do we do left side SP? Nahhh, let's skip it. Woooo somaria was right after, rewarded!
Made a few mistakes in GT which led to me having to go grab a blue pot after aga2, but other than that no huge execution flubs. Though you can't really go too wrong when you've got red mail, gold sword, and silvers...?
