its basically beating the game, and timing it, and using all of Twin Galaxies rules for completion, in which they didnt allow any glitches.
"Beat the game. Don't die, save, or use any sequence breaking tech, such as: Block clip/screen scroll Opening doors without a key Wrong warps, such as Roocorder Keeping Bait from Hungry Goriya Arbitrary Code Execution"
https://www.speedrun.com/zelda1ce/forums/b32yk explaination for glitches here.
currently there is no 100% catagory for this. probably the only reason this came up as a catagory in the first place was because at the time we were trying to disprove what was a fake speedrun on twin galaxies site. showing that using modern advancements in the speedrun, and new game knowledge, that it was barely possible to beat the time that the other player had previously posted. (the only surviving footage was just of his level 9 to ganon, and his spawns were all messed up)
It does not. Just looked at a video of it for the first time right now. Is there a place that explains how this works somewhere? And or how it's done?
Edit. If I understand it correctly, I see 3 doors. One in lvl2, lvl6 and lvl8, that are candidate key doors. (2, push block, shudder door) (6, bomb wall) (8, bomb wall) In level 2 youve got a block in the way between the push block and the key door, that seems a problem. The one in level 8, the bomb wall appears to be too far away to get to the door in time.
Do you have to be at zero keys for this to work?
So if only level 6 works, which you could do at zero keys. that puts you at 10 total for the run.
Max Keys. "10 in Second Quest (we think)"
from what i see you can only have 9 keys at the end of 2Q.
the only keys you leave out are in level 8. the Any key. and a key before that(red bubble room). which would take a key to get to. so i assume we can skip that key.
lvl1 (+1), lvl2 (+5), lvl3 (0), lvl4 (+3), lvl5 (+1), lvl6 (0), lvl7 (+1), lvl8 (0), lvl9 (-2) = (+9)
^ i was under the impression it was somewhat frowned upon for a run, an intentional death. didnt know it was actually a set rule for a run. the list of rules makes it sound like only deathwarps using up+a are disallowed.
of course i was only basing this on the fact that ive watched a leaderboard run that intentionally died after grabbing the white sword.
So I'm playing on the Wii VC. If I create a new name with the registration. Can I play straight from there? Or do I need to also reset before starting that new file?
