Want to Speed Run Zelda on NES? Here's a 100% tutorial.
Everyone runs the Any% run, but what about the 100% run?
...wait, there's a 100% run?
Well, sure there is!
100% Speed Runs in Zelda involve getting all of the items in the game, with the exception of a small few: The Blue Ring, the Magic Shield, the wooden boomerang, potions, the White Sword, just to name a few. To complete a 100% run, you must gather all of the items that take up inventory on your screen. These items include:
-All 16 heart containers.
-The Magic Boomerang
-16 Bombs
-The Silver Arrows, Wooden Arrows (you need them to beat the game), and the bow.
-The Red Candle (you should still buy the blue candle to run, but it's not required)
-The Recorder
-The Bait (you only need to buy it at least once)
-The Letter (potions are not necessary)
-The Magic Wand
-The Raft
-The Magic Book/Bible
-The Red Ring (replaces the Blue Ring so it's not necessary)
-The Ladder
-The Magical Key/Lion Key
-The Power Bracelet
-The Magical Sword/Master Sword (you need the wooden sword to run, but the white sword is not required)
