Ocarina of Time
Ganonless (Beginner)
Ganonless is a legacy route category that completes the game with a Wrong Warp to the Credits from Deku Tree/Dodongo's Cavern/Fire Temple. One of these specific wrong warps is required because they were used in old Any% routes before Ganondoor was discovered. SRM is banned. Full rules can be referenced on Speedrun.com as always.
There is a video tutorial available for this route! This is a very good route for beginners, with the one downside that the run requires the 1.0 version. The more difficult optimal route can be found here.
This route requires either the N64 1.0 or 1.1 version of the game because the Early Eyeball Frog glitch does not work on 1.2.
Equips usually happen during or after their parent bullet point, and are notated as (e.g.)

Red lines surrounding an item indicate the specific C-Button is required. In this example, Empty Bottle must be equipped to C-Right. In this route, which C-button each item is equipped to is important during one section to RBA bottles and Bombchu count. Other than that, they are your preference.
Health, Bombchu, Nut, and Rupee counts are notated as [ 
] [ ] [ 
] [ 
] where relevant. There are several HESSes included in the run, but any or all of them can be skipped if you want.
See Common Terms and Abbreviations. See the Appendix for the fastest run on this route to use as a reference, as well as the video tutorial.
