? trying for the lowest score grinny?

Lol I’m in first place   
 

till i turn the game on lol

Come on guys... where are those scores at?
Skinny is leading SMW with... 200 points, ffs!

Grinding scores in Mario is lame though  I wonder what the smallest score above 200 I could get is

I’m more proud of my second place Zelda submission   
 

So, Link to the Past is literally just play it? No stipulations aside from cheating? Ugh, I might have to do a playthrough of that this month even though it will take me away from the completion thread.  


Alright.  Posting scores then.




172990 on SMW.  I wasn't clear about what NA time because I have it set to my timezone.  So I killed myself to get a quick participation.
Second Dark Dungeon in Link to the Past.  You guys can disqualify this one if you want.  Not like I was going to get a placing.  I was using restore points everytime I started the game in case my 3DS died while I was at work.  It got left in my car and the 3DS died... while I was mostly done with that dungeon.  So the screen is the restore point of where I turned on the 3DS last time.  But, like I said, I used restore points (even if it wasn't cheating) I understand if you want to throw that one out.  Figured I would be up front about it.

Yes. Challenge yourself with a minimalist run for fun. Id love to do it if I was eligible

Haha, "Nearly reached the menu" #skinnystrong 😑✊

Are you counting the Shield on LttP as part of armor? Or are you ignoring it since the Mirror Shield is "required" to beat the game?

Just the actual tunic

Well shit here I've been playing the whole game with the Fighter's Shield lol.

I'll update the rules to clarify. I wasn't aware there was a workaround for the mirror shield

I beat LttP with 65 deaths, 18 hearts, gilded/red sword, red tunic, mirror shield, 3 bottles, and the handicaps I impose on myself for all Zelda games: no healing items on bosses and no guides.

I beat the first castle and got to donut land in SML.

gotta post pictures with your username. And SMW is a points on one death competition. Cant play a level exit more than once per the rules as an added stipulation
 

The Mirror Shield is only really necessary to reflect the lasers, but even then you could just use the cape.

That said, I grabbed the mirror shield because of what you said lol. Should have made a backup save I suppose... I was going to post a "perfect" submission tonight.  

Well, shield or no, the submission date would still lock you into first place

 

Oooooh I see what you mean - you updated it to "tunic". I thought you meant you were adding "Low Shield" to the tiebreakers. My misunderstanding!  
 

Game beat!

Deaths: 0
Hearts: 13
Sword: Lv.2 (Master Sword)
Tunic: Lv.1 (Green)
Bottles: 0
Magic: No upgrade





And yes, I called myself 3Heart, not realizing that the hearts were unavoidable. I had intended to not pick up any at all. But alas. ;(

EDIT: Also, apparently saves (which I did regularly to teleport around the map) count on the start screen? I legit did not die at all.
