Any% is devoid of all restrictions, except for Crooked Cartridge. This article is out of date because it doesn't have any information about arbitrary code execution or stale reference manipulation. The information on this article now refers to the Defeat Ganon no SRM category.
Timing starts when you gain control of Link and ends when you deliver the final blow to Ganon. This run is most often used for a real time attack, which allows for save warping.

Notes[]
- This run works on any version, but is fastest on the Chinese iQue.
- If you can get the red rupee in Zora's River and still get to Kakariko before nightfall, you can skip some rupees along the route, mainly 16 rupees in the forest.
- It is possible to get the bottle while in the Deku Tree through the Walking While Talking glitch, by going through the crawlspace and killing a Gohma Larva that randomly drops a Deku Nut. Activating the glitch with the Nut and falling into the basement water will confuse the game into placing a Bottle into your inventory, thus only requiring you to fill it with a bug or fish for the wrong warp.
- A backup strategy for the Gohma stone slab clip is to kill Gohma and yourself at the same time. In this case, use a Deku Baba Mega Sidehop or the B1 Jump Skip to skip B1 again, and then use flame storage to burn the web.
- You can skip the tower collapse skip if you aren't good at it or if you have at least 2 and a half hearts: the void out takes away one heart and the fall takes away a second heart.
