Watch Queue Queue Most Zelda games let you delve into a dungeon far enough to get its item - usually needed to reach the next dungeon - so I imagine the runner will be bouncing in and out of temples until they fight Thunderbird (who I think is the last boss that won't just end the game like Shadow Link) and start working backwards.

The commentators made the point that half the fun of kaizo games - seeing players fall for obnoxious traps - doesn't really apply to speedruns where the runners have plenty of practice with the games. Despite its lack of profile, it appears to have found an audience in the speedrunning community and it's not hard to see why: in addition to the absurdity of racing realistically-rendered pieces of sushi, it's extremely challenging with its combination of high velocity and zero track barriers.
