1) Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows

Did a warm up run because I want to get really good at going fast in this game. I still need a lot of work though. I'm going to start practicing individual levels next time I play.

I wanna do this too but part of me also wants to wait for Risky Mode which will probably be faster and more fun.

2) The Legend of Zelda

Time: 1:35:56

I know Zelda 1's overworld like the back of my hand. As for the dungeons, I don't remember them very clearly, aside from the first few and level 9 which is forever ingrained into my memory. I think I'll give it another playthrough tomorrow since the dungeons are fresh on my mind and try to go for sub 1 hour and deathless.

I definitely planned on it this year. I've beaten it before but I have a unique sort of Zelda marathon that I want to do before Breath of the Wild. I'll make a thread for it this weekend.

I've played SM so much but I've never tried to get me time down. I did do a low percent run once but that took a long time because I was always learning tricks while playing
