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.

Four Swords Adventures
The speedrun time for FSA is currently the combined total of an incomplete individual levels table at SDA. Most of those are outdated already, some times which can be seen here where steady progress is being made: www.youtube.com/user/Zmaster91SR. I'm just wondering if there is a point to still refer to the times at SDA, or even have FSA on the list at all, because of how inaccurate it is.
One idea is to create an IV table at the Wiki and then add in the fastest time for each level from various sites.
Ideas?
100%
Can we get definitions on what these sites consider 100%? Considering we're editing that page all the time, I don't think we can just link to it and claim they must have done whatever we've listed at the time.KrytenKoro (talk) 14:25, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
