Deus Ex Machina
Okay, I found an Uber Challenge for OoT. I want to see if anyone can beat it. I know I cannot, so don't ask if I can or have beaten it.

====Introduction====
Welcome to the Uber Challenge! This is a very difficult test of skill for Ocarina of Time players. It's similar to the 3 Heart Challenge, but much tougher. If you think you're a master of this game, put your money where your mouth is and take the Challenge.
====Uber Challenge Restrictions====
Following are the conditions of the Uber Challenge. Basically, you beat the game while following all these. Simple, right? Heh...
-3 hearts, no Heart Pieces whatsoever
-Buy Giant’s Knife and break it ASAP, and use that at all times (except in the Graveyard and while fighting Ganon)
-All Medallions
-1 Bottle
-No deaths (death counter at file select must say 000)
-No Iron Boots
-No capacity upgrades
-No Great Fairy gifts except Magic Meter and Din's Fire
-No Gold Skulltula family gifts from 20 or more Gold Skulltulas
-No Goron Bracelet
-No Fire Arrows
-No Lens of Truth
-No Longshot
-No Silver Scale
-No Zora Tunic
-No Gerudo’s Card
-No Maps or Compasses
-No Biggoron’s Sword
-Cannot use Action Replay, Gameshark, etc.
-Cannot use Crooked Cartridge (touching your game cartridge while playing)
-Cannot use Din’s Fire outside the central room of the Water Temple
-Cannot use Megaton Hammer to attack enemies (exception of stunning Volvagia)
-Cannot use Megaton Hammer outside the Fire Temple
-Cannot use Deku Sticks to attack enemies
-Cannot use power crouch stab
-Cannot use bottle except to show Ruto's Letter to King Zora
-Cannot learn any songs except Song of Time, Zelda’s Lullaby, and Minuet of Forest
-Must have Shadow Medallion before entering Forest Temple
-Must fight Dark Link
Shield Restrictions
You must burn your Deku Shield ASAP. You may not equip another one. You may not obtain a Hylian Shield as a child, but you may obtain a Hylian Shield as an adult. You may only use a Hylian Shield in the following places:
-Graveyard
-Central room of Water Temple
Aside from that, while you have a shield equipped, use it as little as possible and destroy it as soon as possible. After completing the Spirit Temple, equip a Hylian Shield and let a Like Like eat it so you can continue without a shield. The optimal locations to destroy your shield are included in the route.
====Uber Challenge Route====
I suggest that you follow this route while playing through the Uber Challenge. It uses minimal backtracking and shows you the best way through the Challenge. It does not detail everything, however. When following the route, make sure to not violate the conditions of the Challenge.
Child
-Deku Tree
-Fairy Ocarina
-Spirit Temple (burn shield ASAP)
-Zelda’s Lullaby
-Dodongo’s Cavern
-Magic Meter

-Zora’s River (Magic Bean)
-Adult's Wallet
-Graveyard (plant Magic Bean)
-Ocarina of Time
-Din's Fire
-Temple of Time
Adult

====Uber Challenge Guide/Video====

At the request of many who have taken the Uber Challenge, I have made a video of it. Yes, the entire Uber Challenge. You can read about it and download it here:
