Routing A Link to the Past No Logic lategame

Lategame / Go mode is when you have every item you need to finish the game, you have a plan to do so, and you're just executing that plan.

If trying to go fast, you generally won't take time to search for additional items unless you feel that you may not be able to finish the game after all.

Sometimes you can adjust the plan if a better item is right in your path.

It's relatively common in No Logic to be "technically" in Go Mode, but sort of need more items to make it actually doable for your skill level.

Every game has these guaranteed required items:

  • Master sword (sword level 2) or better, to damage Ganon
    • 4 swords available; you only need 2
  • Lamp or fire rod to make Ganon vulnerable.
    • One of each available (plus an extra fire rod with double rods)
  • 7 crystals (requirements vary depending on which dungeons are pendants)
    • Many different item sets are possible solutions to the same problems. So your late game could vary a lot.

Silver arrows are not strictly required to defeat Ganon:

Every other item in the game may be optional, depending on where the crystals are and what other items you have.

You also need to defeat Agahnim 2 in this mode. There are multiple glitches to skip to the top of Ganon's Tower directly into the Aga2 fight, most notably Lava Dive from Turtle Rock with a bottle or Somaria. https://glitchmaps.mfns.dev/?map=EG1&glitch=dg-Lava-Dive-YBA
