Wrong record conflict
I'm sure that the one guy on YouTube named "Kaztalek" beat Dragorn by 40 minutes on Majora's Mask so he should have the record. Jaxtriker
 * The records used in this article are taken from reputable data collective sites that specialize in this material. While Kaztalek may have a faster time, his entry may not be "official" (i.e. set in and verified), and thus should not be used in this article. I will personally check the factuality of these times momentarily. 01:42, 29 October 2011 (EDT)

SpeedDemosArchive does not claim to be a records site, and Twin Galaxies is wildly outdated and shunned by the speedrunning community, so there actually is no worthwhile archive of "reputable data". Almost every new Zelda record is played live on stream in front of hundreds of viewers, so the times I've posted reflect what is fact and what the speedrunning community would generally agree on being worth sharing. We're technically dealing with a niche where nothing is any more "official" than a random Geocities site claiming to house "official world records". - ZeldaBit 02:07, 18 May 2012 (EDT)

I also removed the segment about TSA from the page due on this thread: http://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/weve_removed_tsas_runs_from_the_site.html - ZeldaBit 02:13, 18 May 2012 (EDT)


 * As you can see, this area of the wiki hasn't been receiving much attention. Thank you for clearing it all up! 16:28, 18 May 2012 (EDT)
