Also, [noob alert here... somewhat new to the whole speed running world] what exactly is TAS. I've heard many runners talk about it? Is it like a glitch, or something help make a run of a game faster?
TASes (Tool Assisted Speedruns) are done by using an emulator with save states and slow down to create runs that are really optimised and contain stuff that are almost impossible to do in real time. You can find more info in tasvideos.org

Any% is lame. You should run 100% it's longer Kappa.
Also Four Swords isn't on ZSR yet because it has the unfortunate combination of needing to play co-op to achieve any decent times, and being unplayable for many due to either said co-opness or having to be lucky enough to have the AE edition (since it's no longer available for download).

I have also thought about doing a run with the original four stages [Sea of Trees, Talus Cave, Death Mountain, and Vaati's Palace], and also adding Realms of Memories and Hero's Trial. So normal run, and what I'm calling the "Hero's Run". And thought that could be made into two categories... solo runs of that, and co-op runs, since solo and Co-Op use some different mechanics of how to play. So, Four Swords Co-Op, Four Swords Solo, Four Swords Hero's Run Solo, and Four Swords Hero's Co-Op. Any thoughts on that idea?

Hey Blaze! Just saw that you've been posting here as well. Giving you a heads up that NOUfozzy (Four Swords Adventures runner in training) and I plan on doing an any% race for fun. IMO though, I prefer doing Individual Level runs of the various Realm of Memories stages because there are no boss fights and the stages are not completely RNG (random number generator). As for leaderboards, there is a zelda4sa@gmail.com email that the other FSA runners and I made specifically for ILs of FSA. With the approval of the FSA community, I would be down to add another board for FSAE, especially since I want to do ILs of RoM and possibly Hero's Trial.
Edit: The FSAE leaderboards can be found at (http://bombch.us/X9O)

Whatz Up everyone! Been awhile since I've talked about Four Swords / Four Swords A.E. on here. So, just a heads up to everyone, I have been busy with college, as well as playing around with other games (whether it's new games that come out I get to play, or practicing other games to speed run) so I haven't done a whole lot with Four Swords A.E., but I have been playing around with the three Realm of Memories levels. My 3DS has yet to be modded, due to stupid reasons I rather not talk about... so the most I can do recording wise is still with my tablet. :/
But once I get it modded, I'll start going for the fastest times I can for main game solo and all the individual levels [I don't want to go all out till I have as great of a quality video as I can].
Anyways, I have found some cool things within each of the levels of the Realm of Memories. I've posted a video of my run with Realm of Memories: Link's Awakening [which I've learned a few new things, so I may redo the video soon]. Working on RoM: Legend of Zelda and RoM: A Link to the Past [once I post those videos, I'll edit this post saying I've uploaded them]. They can be found on my main YouTube Channel Blazeingphoenix. As for Hero's Trails, I tried one of the levels out, and I have beaten all of them before, but I still suck at them. So those I would need to do when I have a great free time to find a "easy" way to do them. So I wouldn't expect me doing a video of those anytime soon.
Finally, I know Four Swords is hard to do for Zeldaspeedruns, due to the fact of needing co-op for the GBA version [plus whatever extra is needed for co-op] and due to the fact Four Swords A.E. is unavailable, making it hard to get, and requiring a great camera or DSi/3DS capture device [the preferred way] for video proof... but I think it would still be great to have a leaderboard for it on the site. It may get some more people trying the game out, or show people that there are people doing runs of the game. Whether it's main game co-op, main game solo, or individual levels [co-op and solo]. I'm not going to get mad or sad if you guys don't do it, as it seems no one is really affected that it's not up there, but I feel it may help more people try the game, and get into it.
