Twilight Princess TAS competition - Task 3

Thumbnail art by Nimzo.

Due to a confluence of factors, this task both had low participation (even I couldn't join) and took a while to put together. Hopefully we'll keep going with these and get some other people involved again, but even if the task series peters out, I'm at least glad a bunch of speedrun community members joined in to try it out.

This task focused more on routing and optimizing basic mechanics than on anything flashy, though one of the two submissions did manage to squeeze in Ooccoo BiT (see below). Happy birthday, Morpheel!

A TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun) is a recording of inputs into the game. TASers use tools such as save states, frame advance, a precise input interface, and a data viewer so that they can make exactly the right inputs at exactly the right times to do what they want to do in the game. There is very little automation and no "programming" involved. If you want to see how this is done, check out this example TASing session I recorded:    • Demo of TASing a room
