The following general rules apply to all Ocarina of Time puzzles:

- Crooked Cartridge (or any physical tampering with the game) is not allowed.

- Gameshark/Action Replay (or any hacking device) is not allowed.

- A puzzle starts from a new file and ends when the goal is met while following the puzzle's criteria.

- Unless explicitly stated in the puzzle's rules, all version exclusive tricks/glitches are allowed.

- Unless explicitly stated, any version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is allowed.

- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest is a separate game and cannot be used.

- Tool Assistance such as savestates and slowdowns are not allowed.

- Only non-rerecording Emulators are allowed to be used for a final video submission.

- The entire puzzle must be recorded in any manner without pauses/breaks from start to finish.

- A DVD recorder is the ideal method of recording, but a video camera or even webcam is allowed too.

- The completed video must be uploaded to Youtube (preferably private) for my review.

- In the event multiple people solve the puzzle, the first video submission will be the winner.

- Cheating, Tool Assistance, or Splicing is strictly prohibited. If a submitted solution is found to contain any of that, it will not be accepted. If you're thinking about cheating, cheat detection methods are more sophisticated than ever. One method to detect splicing besides observing simple game mechanic discrepancies is detecting frequency skips where a splice occurs. Additionally, hacking and Tool Assistance with non-rerecording emulators is obvious to spot. Just don't even try to cheat.
