The goal of a speedrun is to complete a game as quickly as possible from start to finish, usually in one sitting. Speedrunning is very popular within the ''Legend of Zelda'' series. There are also varying categories for runs, such as simply completing the game (Any%), completing every [[dungeon]] (All Dungeons), and completing [[100% Completion|100%]] of the game, for instance. Runs often involve the use [[glitches]] or exploits in order to save time, with some categories also disallowing them, known as Glitchless or Bug Limit. Runs are usually recorded or broadcast live, and timing software is often used to determine the exact length of a run, with speedrunners always competing for personal or world records. | The goal of a speedrun is to complete a game as quickly as possible from start to finish, usually in one sitting.
