TASK 1:
Your task is to start at the beginning of Dodongo's Cavern and ends after you touch the blue light to complete it. You may not leave Dodongo's Cavern during the run.
There are restrictions on the amounts of items and the items you may enter with (you can gain more throughout the run, for example if an enemy drops a deku nut you can then use them). The following pictures show the LIMITS of what you may start with. You cannot have more rupees, deku sticks, chus, etc. than what I have here in the pictures. You can have less if you want (for example if you feel you won't need 6 deku sticks and only want to start with 3, that's fine).
You may, however, put whatever items you are allowed on whatever C-button slots you want.

http://forums.zeldaspeedruns.com/index.php?topic=415.msg7367#msg7367If you are playing on the N64 or GC, you will have to set up your own file. You may have either the Silver Gauntlets OR the Goron Bracelet. If you obtain the bracelet, you can only have an addition of Zelda's Lullaby (and Zelda's Letter) and Saria's Song in your inventory.
Obviously, emulators are banned from this competition.
When you are ready to submit your time, PM me and send me the video file. I will then time it manually. If you don't care about people using your strategies, then you can just post it here or on youtube in public, but really, that's half the fun is coming up with your own strategy.
You will have until
Sunday, April 24th to complete the task. I will accept all entries up until midnight on that day. If you have any questions about the rules, you can post them in this thread. If you feel that asking a question will give away your strategy, you can send me a PM.
Good luck!
