PAL WR Issue
6 years ago
England

I was interested in looking up what the PAL any% WRs are so looked it up on the site and there are a few issues with the submitted runs.

Filtering it by PAL N64, there are only two runs with videos - The first video ("wr") doesn't work, and the second video is actually the Japanese version. I hunted around on the runner's youtube for the "wr" run - I managed to find it but it's actually the Gamecube version. (note- PAL GC is actually the same as NTSC GC).

There's 2 runs with videos for Wii VC PAL and Wii U VC PAL (both are "true" pal versions unlike the Gamecube) - These are both fine.

I know no one actually cares about PAL and the runs themselves are like #700 on the main leaderboard, and that's why the errors likely went through - but imo it looks sloppy to have this kind of error for a version wr. I think that there should be more care taken in verifying runs in contention for a version wr. (Especially when someone submits a 21min N64 PAL run) - For both these errors to go through the verifier must not have even opened the video.

eta: here is the "true pal" wr according to the leaderboard (the one that's actually the gc version)

Classic Kakariko Route and Nocturne RTA added!

Two new categories are here after being promoted from the extensions leaderboard.

Classic Kakariko Route: This is the old Any% route from pre-2015 that can be found under the Defeat Ganon tab. It features traditional gameplay many are familiar with and is great to start out with as a new runner
