This is a document for the WR history in ALttP speedrunning. Currently, it's mostly focused on categories that pre-date SRC, which has a history feature people can use for understanding the progression of other categories.
In the future, runs with video will hopefully offer links to that video, but there are obstacles to this currently. Some runs aren't uploaded anywhere and are just backed up on various people's hard drives.
This page is currently a work in progress! It's under active development, and information may be missing, incomplete, or presented improperly. Feel free to double check with community members on discord if something seems wrong.

Via Twin Galaxies. Timing method unknown. No video footage currently known. Probably valid—flagitious is a TASer in good standing.

Almost certainly fake, runner is a career cheater, but also no video evidence to examine

Japanese version (likely 1.0 but unclear). Existing video has significant timer discrepancies and frame drops; the time here is taking it at face value.

Beginning with this run, Krystal's times are under heavy scrutiny, and although cheating hasn't been fully confirmed, the community considers them unverifiable under modern leaderboard standards.

First record with spin dash. Timed via Racebot in SRL race. Runner's PC bluescreened mid-run, so not fully reliable

Due to missing video in PoD, this run wasn't verified for official leaderboards, but it is considered legitimate. Dec02 might not be the exact date.
