* Select Shadow Zelda as the Character.
* Use Single-Character Mode for Any%, "Shortcut", 6-Instrument, AB&C, and All Floors.
Defeat a certain number of instrument bosses as determined by the subcategory as quickly as possible.
* Full-length video is required for all submissions, not just the top-5.
* Use of a splitter is heavily encouraged since the in-game timer doesn't pause long enough to check.
* If not using a splitter, as soon as you collect your subcategory's last instrument, press and hold the Screenshot button to take a video.
* Then, in the same video recording, open your Switch's Album and find the time that last displays before picking up that instrument.
* If using a splitter, you may submit your run to a shorter subcategory while going for a longer one. Make sure to cut the video for the shorter length.
The following glitches/skips/abuses are banned in this subcategory:
* Barrier Skip
* 3-player glitch (pausing and teleporting to a Sheikah Stone after entering the Ganon fight with the Symphony of the Mask DLC active)
* Error House & Boots of Speed
All runs submitted here must be played on v1.0.1. The use of an emulator is not allowed.
* Time ends on picking up the second instrument of the Arena run (Floor 11).
On the New Game screen, set both Fixed Beat and Double-Time to Off. This is the default timing setting.
On the New Game screen, select Permadeath Mode = On.
* Please do NOT use Quick Restart. Your video will be placed under heavier scrutiny if it doesn't start on New Game for settings verification.
* If your run submission does include Quick Restart and cannot show the in-game leaderboard, please also include in the description a separate video link to a video containing the run and the New Game screen preceding it, including all other failed runs before the successful one.
* Without either the New Game screen or in-game leaderboards for category verification purposes, your run will be rejected if it started from Quick Restart.
On the New Game screen, select Mystery Mode = Off.
