Hi. I forgot your name. Whatever.
My... point is...
Hi. Your head's on fire.
I'll allow for more suggestions until tomorrow. Remember: if you'll be voting for a female character tomorrow, that's only for Tale of Two Towns, and that's a 6-letter limit, so be sure to choose your name suggestion accordingly. Two names will be chosen, one for either game.
A few of you seem to like Dio, so also decide now which of the two games you want it for.

E: Formally adding my own suggestion of slowbeef, because :v:

Ginger, a lady, for Tale of Two Towns -- though I admit, I was lukewarm on the Bachelors, but oh well.

For Hero of Leaf Valley (Which I wanted to play, but would invariably glitch out on day 10), let's go with... Oh, fine, Dio's good.

You do not need Din's Fire to finish the game; the part with the circle of torches that most people think Din's Fire is necessary for can in fact be done with fire arrows. I happen to know this because the first time i played OoT it never occurred to me that Din's Fire could light torches, so I did it with fire arrows instead.

It requires near perfect aim to light 2 - 3 torches per arrow and I think you need the larger magic meter to pull it off which I guess means you do need to see a fairy, but Din's Fire is not in fact necessary to finish the game. It makes the game easier certainly, but you can finish that puzzle without it. At least you could in the original, they may have tweaked how long the torches stay lit in OoT3D.

e: Note that I do not recommend trying to finish that puzzle with fire arrows; just go see the drat fairy.

Pretty sure the Boss Key chest room in that Dungeon still needs Din's Fire to stop the moving spiked walls or at least I've never found any other way to combat them.

You just shoot them with Fire Arrows and they burn away.

I could've sworn I tried fire arrows before and they didn't work, but maybe I'm mistaken, and I'd just panicked and resorted to Din's Fire anyway.

In any case, you definitely can't beat the game without at least seeing the Great Fairy on top of Death Mountain, since the first area of Ganon's Tower requires you to fire light arrows.

Zelda gives you the Light Arrows in the Temple of Time, not the Great Fairy on Death Mountain?

You would still need to go there to be able to use them at all though. Same goes for both of the things we were talking about.

Weird though, I could of swore fire arrows were a no go on them.

Oh right yeah the fairy gives you a magic bar, hah :v:

Alright so you do need to see that one, the others are 'optional' though there really is no reason not to see all of them anyway.

I wonder if getting the light arrows automatically gives you a magic bar, though; it's confirmed that that's the sole trigger for Ganon's Castle to become accessible, so it could affect some other things.

Eh, I never really found a use for Farore's Wind. I think I was planning on making use of it when Linebeck was going to do races of the Master Quest dungeons, but other than that, it's never really been relevant. I think I used Nayru's Love against one of the Iron Knuckles when I first played it as a stupid kid. And to save myself against the Cuccos. It didn't work.

You'd get other items that need the magic bar long before then, and need to use them too. I doubt getting one of those items gives you a magic meter though.

I actually found Farore's Wind to be the most useful of the three and I used it repeatedly throughout the game. It was only really useful because I didn't know where everything was and ended up backtracking a lot while slowly solving puzzles though so I never used it on subsequent playthroughs.

Hi. Your head's on fire.
Well we've basically reached a consensus. The HM LP characters will be:
Tale of Two Towns: Dio, female
Hero of Leaf Valley: IT WAS I DIO

Thanks for voting, everyone. The thread will be started this weekend.

Hi. I forgot your name. Whatever.
My... point is...
Hi. Your head's on fire.
Totally forgot that I also need y'all to vote on which town Dio will live in for Tale of Two Towns. So let's do that while I'm getting Hero of Leaf Valley footage recorded.

Bluebell - Animal centric. More space for cattle and chickens, smaller field for plants. Max livestock we can get there is 16, max chickens is 10. When the farm gets expanded, the item makers we get correlate to animal products (Bee Hives, Cheese Maker, Yarn Maker, Drink Maker, and Pet Playpen). Has a European aesthetic with obnoxious use of plaid.

Konohana - Crop centric. Small space for animals, more space for crops that can be expanded every few seasons. Max cattle we can get there is 4, max chickens is 2 (not a lot, but enough for one of each type of animal including special animals that can only be gotten from Year 2 onward). Makers correlate to crops (Rice Paddy, Seed Maker, Flour Mill, Fermenter, and Fish Pond). Has a rural-Asian aesthetic.

We'll get the option to move to the other town in the first month, and it's not difficult getting from one town to the other, so vote for which you want to see and which product you want me to focus on for early on. Don't worry about things like which bachelor you'll want me to go for.
