General Rules:
- Runs need to be performed on actual Nintendo Switch hardware. Emulators are banned.
- Runs must be completed on the latest available version of the game (currently v1.1), and the VoD of a run must clearly show the active version of the game.
- Runs must be started from a fresh boot of the game. The intro can not be preloaded and no content can be manipulated over from a separate game file unless it was created while the timer was running
- The usage of Amiibos is allowed. Please flag your run correctly using the Amiibo flag on the leaderboards.
- Usage of horses carried over from a Breath of the Wild save game in your account is banned.
- Unless stated otherwise, timer starts on pressing "Start" in the main menu and ends on grabbing Zelda's hand.
Video Submission Guidelines:
- Video proof is required for every run.
- Game Audio needs to be audible for the entirety of the run.
- Runners must not manipulate load times before the run starts, for example by loading a file or starting a new game beforehand.
- Low quality recordings (such as camera recordings) are allowed as long as the gameplay is recognizable.
- Only the following video sharing services are allowed:
- Youtube: Video must be public/unlisted; Recommended to upload runs since it's easier for verifiers to check the run.

- bilibili: Allowed to make sure people in certain regions of the world are able to submit.
