jeez, i didn’t think i could literally beat a WR by 02:34 here are the splits: Escape: 5:33 Bugs: 12:28 Letter: 25:04 Mask 1 (sold): 31:51 Skull Mask: 34:37 dunna dun dun (end): 35:04 I’ll explain my route in the thread.
To achieve my route, I played the Japanese version on WiiVc. First, I only got the Kokiri Sword, since the Deku Shield is not required. I made my way to the Lost Woods and performed the Navi Dive, which would save at least 2 minutes, to get the shield and Ocarina. I made my way through Zora’s River and to Kakariko Village. I got the Bottle and Bugs. I then went to Hyrule Castle and got the Letter. I made my way back to Kakariko and showed it to the guard, went back the Happy Mask Shop, got the Keaton Mask, delivered it, got the Skull Mask, went to the Temple of Time graveyard, put on the Skull Mask and performed Ocarina Items by backflipping, and midair, tapping Bugs and then the Sword button, and then finally playing A, A, C-Up, C-Right, and then stopped my timer.
@Creedeth Okay I might have found a (minor) timesave (saves around a minute or two). Starting from leaving Link's house, you backflip, backwalk for a bit, sidehop left twice, and then cross the 3 blocks to the Shop. (get 5 Rupees) Enter the shop, and get the other 5 Rupees. Buy a Deku Stick, exit the Kokiri Shop, and equip it on any C slot. Do the WESS Escape using a Deku Stick instead of a sword. All that for a minor time-save. Guess this is what speedrunning is.
Recently, many longer runs submitted as Twitch highlights have had parts of their audio muted due to Twitch's automatic copyright detection, the most frequent case being long sections of Lost Woods music. Some vods will even give a network error at these parts which can cause several minutes of foot
