"All Dog Treasures" is on our Category Extensions https://www.speedrun.com/botw-extension
It was also showcased at SGDQ in 2020
unless emulators are able to run consistently for everybody regardless of hardware specifications, i wouldn't count on it.
The best way to get a new run idea started is to route it and run it yourself, get the word out, encourage people to try it, and then the process for approval is to post on the speedrun.com forum (https://www.speedrun.com/botw-extension/thread/e54tp) with 5 complete/recorded runs. You can also join the discord and we can help get the word out about your endeavor.
Your category idea sounds like IL rules (Similar to Hyrule Bike Challenge (https://www.speedrun.com/botw-extension?h=Hyrule_Bike_Challenge-Any-No_Limit&x=l_nwllv3rw-9d8630l2-0nw2q05n.4qy4596q)? With any amount of file preparation allowed?
it is in both places then :)
there's a link to the discord in resources
In the previous Bug Limit ruleset, scanning an amiibo for Epona was seen as an exception to the amiibo rules. Rules were updated on June 23, 2021 and there was an announcement made in the Discord server.
The Epona amiibo rule has been removed. This rule has been outdated for a while, primarly because of amiibo being a filter and not having as much impact in runs nowadays.
- Runs must start from New Game.
- Timing starts when gaining control of Link.
- Timing ends when the last arrow makes contact with Dark Beast Ganon (first frame of the explosion animation)
- You must obtain the Master Sword, Champion's Tunic, Hylian Shield and Hylian Trousers before defeating Ganon
Can be done with restricted or unrestricted rules for Master Sword obtainment.
Master Sword Restricted Rules:
- Master Sword must be obtained in Korok Forest from its original source.
- You must complete "The Hero's Sword" main quest.
- Any and all vessel upgrades have an added source requirement. This means that said upgrades must originate from spirit orbs collected from shrines during the run, or from the heart containers within divine beasts.

- You must obtain 100 koroks from their original source.
- You may (if desired) redeem your seeds for inventory slots with Hestu. The seed count on the final seed would then be minus the redeemed seeds.
