> Why are you playing on the English version? Isn't the Japanese version faster for speedruns?
> The Japanese version is faster than English for this category by about 1.5-2 minutes. The English version of Majora's Mask actually has the advantage of slightly faster loads than the Japanese version, but the various advantages of Japanese, such as text and a couple version differences involving cutscenes, power crouch stab, and Pirate's Fortress do amount to a greater advantage overall. The reason I am running on the English version regardless is for consistency. The route for this category on the Japanese version has postman in the final hour of the run, which due to the nature of that particular minigame makes it very likely to cost large amounts of time in the majority of runs.

> How is zora swimming different on the English version compared to the Japanese version?
> On the Japanese version, Zora Link is locked into swimming the direction he is facing for the first second of his swim. On the English version, he instead will try to face whatever direction the control stick is held at first, in addition to turning more sharply to that same end for the first second of his swim. After the first second of swimming, both are identical.
