Ocarina of Time

Faster Quest

Faster Quest (FQ), formerly "Better OoT", is an Ocarina of Time romhack designed to remove cutscenes and speed up other parts of the game, such as textboxes and block-pushing. For speedrunners, it is sometimes more practical to do runs on Faster Quest if a category is relatively long. It sees the most use in the Glitchless AMQ category due to its length and high cutscene content.

Settings strings

You can load a settings string in the FQ patcher which essentially acts as a "preset" suited to a specific run. For example, in Glitchless, you want most cutscenes removed, but in other categories that may ruin a cutscene pointer setup for a Wrong Warp.

The latest-known settings strings for various categories are listed below, although they are subject to change easily with route changes:

  • Glitchless AMQ: 29A99PB
  • Glitchless Any%: JRA99PB
  • Glitchless 100%: JQB799A
  • GSR: 2LA69RB
  • MST: 22A69ZB
  • No IM/WW (extension category): 2JA79RB
