Counters:

There are two kill counters, and they are both very important. The first one is the item drop counter. The graph found here, http://tasvideos.org/2091S.html, explains what enemies drop. The counter starts at zero (at power on or hard reset) and every enemy you kill increments the counter by one, even non item dropping enemies. There is one exception I've found. Killing keese and gels broken apart from vires and zols do not add to the counter. Neither does breaking apart the vire or zol.* This is important, as I'll describe in the individual level sections. The counter resets from 9-0 (or 10-1 if you prefer), so each enemy has ten possible drops.

The B group, or bomb dropping group, is the most important group. The group entails blue octoroks, blue moblins, red darknuts, vires, red goriyas, gibdos, blue lynels, and red wizrobes. They drop bombs three of the ten times they drop an item, at kills one, six, and eight. If I know where I am in the counter, and I'm in an area where I need bombs and there are bomb dropping enemies and non dropping enemies around, I'll try to kill the bomb dropping enemies on the proper number.

The second counter is the consecutive kill counter. This counter supersedes the item drop counter. If you kill ten consecutive enemies without being hit, the tenth enemy will drop a blue (5) rupee. If you kill the tenth consecutive enemy with a bomb, it will drop a bomb instead. At the sixteenth consecutive kill, a fairy will drop. This kill acts a bit oddly, as this is the only kill where you'll get multiple fairies if several enemies are killed within a short time window. At kill 26 and every tenth consecutive kill thereafter, the drops refer back to the tenth consecutive kill. Killing a non item dropping enemy at kill 16 skips the fairy drop and a forced drop will happen at 20 and every tenth thereafter.

If the tenth consecutive kill is carried out on a non-item dropping enemy, for instance a like like, the manner in which you killed it will determine the drop on the next item dropping enemy. If you killed the tenth enemy with a bomb and it isn't an item dropping enemy, the next item dropping enemy will drop a bomb. Any other manner will yield a blue rupee.. This event occurs a few times in the run.

The consecutive counter is extremely important early on to both manipulate bomb drops off enemies that don't usually drop bombs, as well as accumulating blue rupees for buying the candle.

It appears random drops are based on a frame counter on whether a random drop happens or not. Seems like the rate is around 5/16.

*It has since been found that breaking apart Zols and Vires CAN add to the consecutive counter. It depends on how you hit them.
