GGJ: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 22:11, 5 November 2023

Below is the list of allowed and banned techniques for the Glitchless + Ground Jumps (GGJ) ruleset. Because this was based on a ruleset from the vanilla game, you may notice significant differences in the level of detail in describing what is allowed or banned when comparing to the Standard ruleset. Please feel free to assume that if it is not listed, and doesn't otherwise violate one of the explicitly banned conditions, that it is allowed.

This ruleset will update over time to include new discoveries as they are made, however the goal of banning only by technique - regardless of the consequences - will remain in effect.

This ruleset is typically raced with glitchless logic. Other rulesets are also available.

Please keep in mind that the Universal Rules apply to all OoTR races, including GGJ Ruleset races.

Allowed

Power Crouch Stabbing
Roll invincibility
Post-damage invincibility
Jumpslashing in mid-air for more distance
Shield dropping
Using broken deku stick
Hookshot Extension
Rolling from the blue switch in Jabu Jabu's Belly
Damage Boosting
Damage Buffering
Placing bombs on lava pits to damage Volvagia
Skipping text triggers via weapon swapping
Passing through the back side of a one-sided collision
- EG: bridge clip, darunia's door, forest's falling ceiling
Attacking to collect or hit an object on the other side of a collision
Antigravity
- EG: b1 skip, unloading Gerudo Fortress
Recoil Jump
- Shielding damage midair to take Link out of a backflip or sidehop and into a normal airborne state
Ground Jumps
- NB: This is included despite being a glitch as it is functionally similar to a Recoil Jump as well as much easier
Twisted sidehops or backflips out of siderolls or standing ESS shuffles
Touching misplaced or accidentally-exposed loading zones
- EG: Early Jabu, Trials skip, Market shops at night
Delaying a timer by pressing cutscene items midair
Going out of bounds
- NB: The method of reaching OoB must not violate any other rules
Being in an unloaded area
Hoverboosting
- IE: Using hoverboots to conserve momentum from recoil via hammer or damage
Megajumps
- IE: Using hoverboots to concerve momentum from damage during a jump
Remote wall interactions
Walking on walls
Culling actors
- EG: keeping enemies off screen to stop them from moving
Climbing ladders or vines during cutscenes
Cutscene skips which use only movement from inputs completed before the cutscene begins
- EG: voiding, entering a loading zone

Banned

Infinite Sword Glitch
Megaflip and megasidehop
All forms of superslide
Hovering
Entrance point glitch or other respawn point manipulation
Clipping
- NB: This is well defined for both solid collision and soft/actor collision, contact a moderator if you aren't sure if something is a clip
Cutscene diving to sink into water
Flame storage
Item Manipulation
- This is an umbrella term covering the glitches Bottle Adventure (BA), Reverse Bottle Adventure (RBA), and Get Item Manipulation (GIM)
Using collection delay to your advantage
- EG: early eyeball frog or gold scale
- NB: Delay happens naturally in many shops if you buy quickly, this is ok
Something except for a sword on B
- NB: This does not include normal circumstances like riding Epona
Bottle Duplication
Wrong warp
Void warp
Walking While Talking
Causing a switch to remain pressed longer than it should
Ocarina Items
Z-slide
A-slide
Using restricted items
- IE: Farore's Wind in the Overworld or Ocarina in boss rooms
Unloading an actor which clearly should be loaded
- EG: Actor Glitch, unloading KZ's ice, overloading the graveyard or trials to remove graves or Gold Gauntlet monoliths, pause buffering the timer expiration during the diving minigame
SRM (Stale Reference Manipulation)
Abusing actors which have not had a chance to update after loading
- IE: 0,0,0 glitch and the deku b2 web
Swimming laterally while wearing Iron Boots
Opening underwater chests while wearing the Iron Boots
Action Swap
- NB: This includes using the explosion limit to Ground Jump
Using the effects of Quick Putaway
- EG: Lighting a torch with a Deku Stick with no present fire source.
Equip Swap
Ledge Cancel
Retaining the Master Sword in Phase 1 of the Ganon Fight
Dying to achieve anything other than a deathwarp
