Video is posted in my previous post with the results. Check it out! Note that sva's time in the results is the converted english text time; his video time is actually shorter.
Task 2
Your task is to start at the beginning of the Gerudo Training Grounds and ends after you have collected all 9 keys. You may USE keys as you go, but it will end after all keys have been collected.
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 shows an example inventory:
The restrictions:
Left side equipment: You can have any quiver or bomb bag. You can collect any gauntlet that you want (NOTE: The Wii Save has blue gauntlets, these will push or grab anything, they are essentially gold). You can have any scale you want (the Wii save doesn't have it but if you want it, just head to the fishing pond and get it. Scarecrow Song is C-Left, C-Right, C-Left, C-Right, C-Left, C-Right, C-Left, C-Right).
Inventory: Any item NOT in the inventory, you cannot have (example: You cannot go get Din's Fire because it's not in that inventory). You cannot have the longshot (Ocarina of Time is ok as an upgrade to fairy ocarina though) and you also cannot have more than 10 of either bombs or chus. Those are the only counts I care about. If you want 4 bombs then go for it. If you feel you need 40 arrows or extra deku nuts, go for it. The item counts are only restricted to bombs and chus. You can have LESS of any of these things, for example if you don't want to get 2 bottles you don't have to. You can also put anything you want in your bottles (fish, fairy, etc.)
You may, however, put whatever items you are allowed on whatever C-button slots you want.

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, May 8th to complete the task. I will accept all entries up until midnight on that day (11:59:59 PM on Sunday). 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!
