I would never say impossible; please refer to this Forum post on our system for proposing Category Extensions. https://www.speedrun.com/totkce/news/yxy785xn
If you get enough people to run, it will be considered. Anthony, let's try not to discourage people from submitting their ideas!
Hi! thanks for the suggestion, we're working on getting the main board categories set up first, and once the boards are open in a couple weeks we'll start looking at getting some Individual Levels and Category Extensions going. Acorn and Dojo challenges seem like great fits for ILs
GG! For future submissions if you could either move the splits to the side of the gameplay or make them transparent so they aren't covering so much of the screen, that would be appreciated! thanks
If you are starting timer on the fade-in to Room of Awakening, you can use the offset 6:39.733
Correct, this was the decision voted on by the community last year. You can see the full voting results in the Discord server here: https://discord.com/channels/1086729144307564648/1105599890953879644/1132833061218828361
We're rolling out a new system for proposing Category Extensions to be added to the leaderboard!
You can now formally submit proposals through this form, by including details about the run and a minimum number of video submissions from separate runners: 5 for shorter categories, and 3 for longer runs (5-6+ hrs).
Before submitting, please carefully review the criteria and submission guidelines within. This info will also be available in the #extensions channel in the Discord server.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfogPtuSQbgin-YMHVhMqBTvFxNNVn7qYUTampsOKum9nK8IQ/viewform
As always, if there's a category you would like to see added to the boards, the best chance to make that happen is to give it a try yourself, make a recording of the run, share with others to get them interested in running, then submitting your runs/info through the form. If you have any questions about the new system, please reach out in the Forums here or in #extensions. The proposal form will also be pinned there as well for ease of access.

GG! There seems to be a delay in audio for a number of your submissions, a shorter run like this is okay for most of the video but the delay seems to get worse the longer the run is, we definitely recommend seeing if you can fix this problem so all your future runs can be accepted. Thanks!
This seems like the existing All Main Quests category with a few extra arbitrary objectives, and seeing as how AMQ is already a pretty inactive category at the moment, I think it may be hard to find people willing to give this one a try. If anyone wants to share a run though it might be considered in some form. A similar run people may want to try instead is zfg's AMQ Restricted, where you complete 20 shrines for stamina rather than swapping at the statue.
oh, i have must missed that, sorry! We'll correct it back to All Dungeons. Thanks
GG! If you could fix your aspect ratio to 16:9 / 1920x1080 for future submissions, it would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to reach out to the mod team if you need help with this fix.
There's a thread in the discord server discussing Low%, which is basically the same concept (still an unofficial category). Feel free to head over there and join the discussion if you're interested, if enough people show interest / run the category, it could be added to the leaderboard.
GG! No worries about the timer; it's not required for verification, just a tool for the runner. Gameplay recording was uninterrupted so the submission is perfect :)
It's on the Category Extensions Board https://www.speedrun.com/totkce , you can also click the link underneath the game title on this page.
GG! For future reference, if you are submitting a GSI time that was part of a longer run, you can crop the video to end after GSI is complete.
GG! for categories that don't proceed past Great Sky Island, you can start time from zero after loading the file. easy 6 minute time save :)
Come join the Discord if you haven't already, there should be some links to guides, as well as people that can help you learn the route. https://discord.com/invite/totk-speedrunning
Thanks for sharing! This will not likely be added since many runs (All Dungeons, All Main Quests, All Shrines, 100%) already obtain the Paraglider as part of normal gameplay, and this run would basically be 90% Great Sky Island. If you have any ideas on how to improve upon this idea by making it more unique, or show off more gameplay mechanics, feel free to come discuss in the Discord channel :)
