The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker "Master Sword" Speedrun in 2:14:23 by Swordless Link
346***READ BEFORE WATCHING***
This is my first "proper" recorded unassisted speedrun. I've been running The Wind Waker in real time for a little while now, and I've been racing the Master Sword category a lot lately. This is my best attempt at it so far. Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out, despite the obvious mistakes. My play quality was overall pretty decent, I think. Here are the biggest flaws in the run:
Forsaken Fortress - Got trolled by the searchlight guy.
Dragon Roost Island - Although I did the rock jump without any problems, I messed up the next jump twice. Lesson learned: don't allign, just go for it.
Dragon Roost Cavern - Sidehopped while being too far to the right in the room with the bombflower.
Forest Haven - Messed up the wind waker dive a few times. This one normally isn't that hard.
Forbidden Woods - Messed up the first leaf pump by pulling away the leaf too early. IDK what I was thinking. Awful Mothula fight, but every fight with this guy is awful.
Windfall Island - Got the password skip quickly, but messed up a ton in Niko's minigame. This is the worst part of the run and wasted several minutes because I was trying to do it too quickly, nobody should watch it.
Going to Outset Island - Got disgusting luck on the cyclone, but eventually I did get Outset Island, so it isn't that bad.
Tower of the Gods - Messed up a few silly things here, like falling into the water near the start and not placing the statues on the pads properly at first. I'm far too scared to do that trick where you sidehop across the level boundary with the second statue to skip playing the command melody in a run because it messed up one of my best runs once. Everything else was mostly fine.

I'm going to try to improve this run a lot over the next few weeks.
