BotW Any%

An incredibly unbalanced run. The plateau certainly isn't awful, but compared to my best plateau time it loses 15-16 seconds. On the flip side I only lost 6 seconds to my sum of best after plateau compared to the 27 I lost on plat. The attack up claymore in calamity was really lucky, although it probably saved like 3 seconds so I would've gotten a pb anyway. This might be my last pb before TotK (we'll see if I can squeeze out another in the next week) but there's still a ton of room for improvement.

They just do it again and again until it's become a habit, as part of the method is to just try a lot until you manage to luckily perform better than usual, so they don't need to focus too much on the easy parts of the speedrun. And since it's no big deal to mess up, they can be relaxed.
