Ice Rod in TR for go mode.
Started without bombs because I brainfarted and thought that the heart - fairy drop pack did not have bombs (i remembered it as small magic - fairy for some reason). Caused me to waste a bunch of time doing kak checks out of order and fluting elsewhere since I lacked both bombs and money. Boooo. Will not make that mistake again.
Pretty fast time for a seed where I basically cleared all dungeons except for EP and didn't get boots until an hour in. I'm surprised by just how many people decided to make the TR-without-ice rod play. I guess if there's one gamble to make in this seed, it's definitely that one, and I guess if you're in a 1v1 race mindset it's pretty defensible, but I wasn't quite willing to go in there so early. Maybe I should be more inclined towards that choice when it's literally the only crystal dungeon left.
I did sequence break IP without flippers (stayed out of pendant SW initially) and was hoping that the flippers wouldn't turn up and make SP an option. Unfortunately, they did. Before going into TR without icerod I wanted to check Ped and get the two items from SW. I was OK leaving EP unchecked, as well as some overworld stuff, because if need be I knew I could save my mirror warp at laser bridge and hop over to EP. So I was all set to hop into TR after checking SW....until the flippers showed up. I heaved a sigh at that point and decided to check hobo/waterfall cave/lake hylia and do SP (including left side) before heading up to TR. (I guess it's a good think IR wasn't on bombos tablet since I completely forgot to check that after SP) At least I nabbed gold sword from SP which made life easier from that point on. Beat Ganon with one heart left which always feels clutch.
