Loved the game as a kid, but never could beat it without Game Genie. Finally sat the game down a couple weeks ago and struggled my way through it. Figured I'd give speedrunning it a shot. Today was my first run after ~2 weeks of work. Every chapter still requires a lot of work, but I think 3 and 7 are my major time losses.

2:01:58.

I don't have the means to record from my NES as of yet and I only use emulator to practice certain sections, but I do have some pictures!

(My Chapter 1 split was right when I left the dungeon, which is why it's so early. I fixed it later!)

Splits: Game in NES: Victory!:

My long term goal is to get 1:10 or below!
