Low% [OLD]

NOTE: This page is kept for legacy purposes, being the route before Barrier Skip. Please refer to the other Low% route for the current RTA viable route.

Low% means finishing the game with as few items as possible. Or, in other words, skipping as many items as you can. This means that you sometimes have to go out of your way in order to skip one item. Naturally, that is slower and thus, low% takes longer than any% (which means beat the game as fast as possible, no restrictions).

The Italian version is optimal because this skips 4 Treasure Charts, which would be forced to be obtained on the Japanese version (as part of a Triforce Chart sidequest). Italian also has faster text than English.
