To be fair, a ton of people who aren't familiar with speed-runs ask questions like these. Wouldn't it be more authentic to play through the whole game as intended and without glitches? Many games have glitches that can essentially make the games as short as 5 minutes (Pokemon Leaf Green, Zelda III: A Link to The Past, etc.). Obviously some of these glitches are easy to the point where anyone can do them and that is what prompts runners to develop other categories that ban the use of said glitches.

Now in OoT's case, the game has the wrong-warp glitch that warps you from the Deku Tree all the way to the end of the game which cuts off probably 3 or more hours of game-play. The reason why the run is still accepted as a worthy category to speed-run is because it's still incredibly technical and difficult to achieve a good time on (let alone finish the run).

this is the exact reason there are multiple categories/ways to speedrun a game, some which exclude glitches/warps that skip most of the game

dynamo pretty much nailed the explanation lol

rather than thinking of it as a competition where you play video games, think of it as a competition where you try to break a video game as hard as you can. watching people break games is a different kind of appeal. it just so happens that once people figure out the glitches and steps to take, THEN they compete for fastest time

and like dynamo said, they do have categories of speedruns that ban glitches and such

yeah I like the way stargroup put that
"try to break a video game as hard as you can"

it's actually pretty amusing (to some people) looking at these older games that are more glitch-prone and spending years slowly uncovering little tricks, glitches, and warps and watching the theoretically optimal time shrink from hours to minutes

Damn just watched the run twice, once and then with his pseudo commentary at the end. Impressive as fuck. x__X
That's the the most serious gains you can get ever.
