Word of advice - if you're planning to do only the main story in a speedrun, you might actually end up being bored by the long distances you'll have to travel on your mount with not much to do in between - unless you change your mind and go for side missions and explorations.

The current speedrun for 'Breath of the Wild' is slightly over 40 minutes.

Recently, one of the authors (Jack) was implored by a friend to watch a YouTube video about video gaming (Cosmo Speedrun, 2013).

The development team at Glasgow-based Physmo were clearly inspired by the title, as Mos Speedrun tips its cap to Team Meat's creation, although it is certainly more forgiving than that perilous quest.

While Erokky's Zelda run clearly highlights the basic principles of code exploitation and spatial reorganisation that define speedrunning, Bisqwit and Finalfighter's runs of Mega Man (10) (1987; Rockman in Japan) for the NES provides a much more extensive and varied example of the speedrun aesthetics' relationship with code, gamespace, and rules.
