• It's strongly recommended that you play/replay Ocarina of Time at least once. Ideally a full 20 hearts playthrough, but at least enough to refresh your memory on how the game works.
  
• There's a list of what glitches are typically allowed/disallowed. Banned glitches are almost impossible to do unintentionally, so if you don't know what something means, you probably don't need to worry about it.
  
• If you're racing, use the tracker. It saves much, much more time than it loses, especially when you're playing over multiple sessions.
  
• Speaking of time, there is no in-game timer in OoTR, you're on the honor system here. I just use my phone's stopwatch app.
  
• Your first stop should always be Mido's house, across from the ramp to the sword cave. There are four chests there, and between them and the Kokiri sword chest, you're almost guaranteed to find something that will either define the start of your run, or at least make it significantly easier.
  
• Talk to every Gossip Stone you see, they'll often give you information about item location. If a location is "way of the hero" that means at least one required item is there. If it's "foolish choice", no major items are there (though there may still be optional ones like heart containers and the Biggoron's Sword).
  
• You can inspect the dais in the Temple of Time to find out which dungeons have which rewards. You need all six medallions to enter Ganon's Castle but you don't need the Sacred Stones (though a few randomized items are locked behind Stones, including whatever song the Ocarina of Time teaches.)
  
• Deku stick jump attacks deal twice as much damage as the Kokiri Sword, and can in fact used to kill enemies and bosses without it.
  
• Generally speaking, the fastest way to run is just rolling everywhere. Holding Z and walking straight back is faster, it's the same speed as the bunny hood, in fact, but it's impractical except over long distances in straight lines.
  
• Don't kill every enemy unless you have to in order to unlock the door or a chest. There are many more monsters that can be avoided than can't.
  
• Keese and Beamos making your life miserable? Deku nuts will stun them from surprisingly far away. Really, be very free with your flashbangs in general, they work in more places than you'd think, and you are going to be finding plenty.
  
• Walltulas will only attack you while you're moving. When they change color, stop moving until they change back and you can safely climb past them without shooting them.
  
• If you roll off an edge while wearing the hover boots, you'll jump once the roll is over and get more distance and a bit more height than you would otherwise. This can be used for a few skips, safer Shadow Temple runs, and, in one infamous hellseed, was required to beat the Forest Temple. (That last one isn't likely to happen again, though. ...we hope.)
  
• PGC logic does not require getting 1500 points in Gerudo horse archery, or playing bombchu bowling, but most default settings do.
  
• You also only need one Big Poe to get the Piece of Heart from the salesman in PGC, you can skip the Trials in Ganon's Castle, and you don't need to gather any cuccos to get Anzu's item as a child. The former two are also true in the official Accessible settings, but the last is PGC-specific.
  
• PGC removes the need for the Scarecrow's Song. Just pull out your ocarina anywhere that you'd need to play it, and he'll pop up automatically. This is important, as there are a few chests that might only be reachable that way in logic. (It is, in fact, the only way to reach one specific chest in the Fire Temple.)
  
• In PGC, you start with Stone of Agony. If you still need help remembering grotto locations, here's a list of all 33 grottos, hidden and otherwise, and what you need to get into them.
  
• Here are a few videos for simple tricks that can help make your life significantly easier, but are not required in PGC logic: Deku Tree B1 Skip, Man on Roof PoH itemless, Top of Dodongo's Cavern PoH itemless, Crater bean PoH with hover boots, Shadow Temple without longshot.
  
• cheetah7071 has also started doing casual video guides for how to handle randomizer-specific dungeon routes: Great Deku Tree, Dodongo's Cavern, Forest Temple, Fire Temple, Water Temple, Under the Well, Gerudo Training Ground, Spirit Temple, Shadow Temple
  
• Again, though, the best way to learn is to play. Save the hour-long tutorial videos and day-long stream binges for when you start to plateau and want a boost to get your game to the next level.

• Start with Deku Shield and max nuts/sticks. gently caress that initial 'get 40 rupees for a shield and 50 for sticks' grind.
  
• Start with max rupees, and new wallets auto-fill. gently caress all rupee grinding, TBH.
  
• Start with Stone of Agony. If you still need help remembering grotto locations, here's a list of all 33 grottos, hidden and otherwise, and what you need to get into them.
  
• Turn off all required tricks. You should be able to use tricks to check places for sequence breaks when you're stuck on the 'canon' path, but making them mandatory just feels weird. The easier hover boot jump skips are still on, though. ...mostly because the randomizer doesn't make turning it off an option.
  
• Vanilla Lens of Truth requirements. Same reason as for tricks.
  
• Free Scarecrow's Song. Running across Hyrule Field to get the song twice is just busywork.
  
• No Ice Traps. No more clenching your buttcheeks and preparing to button mash every time you open a chest!
  
• Anju requires 0 cuccos. It can easily be done with no items (glide from the unfinished house platform with a Cucco), so it's not a puzzle, just busywork.
  
• Gerudo horse archery second prize, all bombchu bowling prizes, and 40 & 50 skulltula prizes will always be junk items. Beating the first archery course are already a logic check. There's no reason to include an unpleasant skill check on top of that. Skulltula hunting, past a certain point, is also just a memorization/tedium check. Bombchu bowling has three separate prizes, which you get is chosen randomly, and below a very high skill level, it is almost completely luck-based. Pass.
