Announcing 2023 Halloween Contest!
Posted 1 year ago by

Hello All,

We have a special announcement: this month we are holding a Halloween speedrun competition!

Trick-or-Treat Kostume (T.o.t.K.) Challenge

To complete the Challenge, the following conditions must be met:

  1. Start inside Zelda’s house in Hateno Village, after waking up from the bed.

  2. Collect the ingredients for, and cook, 5 Honey Candy.

  3. Take a selfie with Link wearing each of the following monster masks, with at least 1 of the corresponding monster in frame:

-Bokoblin

-Lizalfos

-Moblin

-Horriblin

-Lynel

  1. Before or after the picture is taken, eat 1 Honey Candy with each type of monster.

  2. Return to Zelda’s house and sleep in the bed.

Rules:

  • Runs can be performed on any game version, with any amount of game completion.

  • Runs must be Glitchless. (Mozdor jumps, crouch/throw sprinting, and Tulin momentum are allowed.)

  • Timing starts on the first frame of player input after waking up, and ends on the fade to black after falling asleep.

  • It is permitted to have ingredients for candy in the inventory before the run, but at least 5 of the ingredients must be obtained after the run has started.

  • Speed/stamina food prep is allowed.

  • Use of Travel Medallions is allowed, but must be placed after the run has started.

  • When taking the picture, you must be close enough to the monster that it would aggro without the mask.

  • Monsters can be visited in any order.

  • All other standard verification rules apply (excluding fresh boot and version number).

Submissions:

We have opened a channel in Discord for contest discussion. Runs can be sent to cloudedsr@gmail.com or by DM to @cloudedsr. Please include Discord username, run time, and video link. (If you are not on Discord, please use speedrun.com username instead.) Once verified, runs will be updated to a leaderboard on Google Sheets, where you can see the current rankings.

The contest begins immediately and will accept submissions until October 31st, 11:59 PM EST (GMT -5). 1st Place will receive a special Discord role commemorating the event.

More details and discussion for the event can be found in our Discord server. GLHF and Happy Halloween!
