I just want to point out that my correct twitch channel is https://www.twitch.tv/arkkandy in case others stumble upon this thread.

How familiar are you with the game, have you messed around with any tricks yet or anything? I don't know what the tricks in Links Awakening require but in Dread most tricks are close to frame-perfect, so require very good timing and muscle memory, others need fairly quick inputs and precise inputs - or you can use pause buffers for most tricks.

If you haven't touched the game yet, I want to suggest the Any% NMG Space Pseudo route to get more familiar with movement. This is several minutes slower than the WR route but it's a lot easier to learn. The faster route (SASB - Screw Attack Short Boost) has a very difficult trick that I would recommend not learning first.

The tricks you learn in the Space Pseudo route are not suuuper difficult yet but are important for pretty much any route and will still require a lot of practice. I believe this will give you good preparation for other more difficult routes / tricks.

As labmember said, if you still want to go ahead and try your hand at the much harder tricks look no further than Any% Unrestricted.

Whatever you choose to do check out the Discord as you'll probably find more resources to help you get started!
