OCARINA OF TIME: HERO MODE
Hooray for unoriginal title

Have you played Ocarina of Time to death? Is it too easy for you? Then how about spicing up your game with an added challenge! There are four gameplay changes:

You cannot destroy any pots, grass, rocks, etc to get health or ammo. None whatsoever. The only drops you can pick up are the ones dropped by enemies. EXCEPTION: If a puzzle item like a silver rupee is inside.
Fairies are completely prohibited. You can't use them to heal you or catch them in bottles.
Great Fairy Fountains are one-time use. Once you get the item or powerup you get in there, you can't use it again.
No holding more than one of each potion at a time. For example, you can't carry two Lon-Lon Milks, but you can carry one Milk and a Red Potion.
OPTIONAL: Do not collect any heart pieces, only get heart containers from bosses, or vice versa. Or if that's not enough, throw in a 3-heart run.

Not only does this add challenge but it also adds need to use money for buying potions and ammo and such. I'd recommend getting the Adult's Wallet as soon as possible, you might need it.

Any version of Ocarina of Time is acceptable: 3DS, the original, or any ports of it. You could even try this with the Master Quest version if you wish.

I have not completed this challenge yet so there may be some exceptions that need to be made. I may update this thread later as I play through. If you take up the challenge and find a necessary exception, let me know.
