A while ago, I killed a guardian in botw in 1.233, and I wanted to submit it here, only to find that it doesn't exist.

I think we should make one for guardian stalkers, and have some regulations.

1. The time begins when the guardian music starts.

2. You cannot have your weapons aimed before it starts.

3. The timer ends after the guardians health hits 0, NOT when it explodes.

That sounds like a cool achievement—1.233 is an impressively fast guardian kill! Before adding a new category like “Guardian Stalker Kill,” though, it’s worth noting that speedrun.com forums usually require strong community interest and clearly defined rules before a category extension can be considered.

You might want to start by gathering a [few](https://deltamaath.com) more runs from different players to show consistency and competitiveness. It also helps to clarify all conditions: game version, allowed glitches, weapon types, and environmental setup (e.g., weather, terrain).

Once you’ve built a small but active base of runners, you can formally request a category extension in the *Category Extensions* board (if available for BOTW), following their submission template. Until then, you could consider sharing your run in the existing forums or in a relevant Discord to gauge interest.

Best of luck! That kind of niche challenge can really bring new life to a game as deep [as](https://www.presentia.ai/) BOTW.

These are the general forums for the site.

So post in that game's forum instead. Or ask in its Discord or message on- or off-site one of its moderators.

BOTW also has category extensions that you should look at https://www.speedrun.com/botw-extension

There are a few pinned threads about category suggestions, but these look outdated https://www.speedrun.com/botw-extension/forums

You **can propose a new category**, but it must follow this general process:

1. **Develop a clear ruleset**: Define the goal (e.g., "Fastest to tame a wild horse" or "Defeat a Lynel with no armor"), restrictions (glitches allowed or not), and timing method.
2. **Run it yourself**: Record a run to demonstrate that the category is viable and fun.
3. **Engage the community**: Share your idea on forums like the [Speedrun.com BOTW board](), Discord servers, or Reddit. If it gains interest, moderators might add it as a *subcategory* or in the "Misc." section.
4. **Submit it to mods**: Use the site’s request form or message mods directly.
