SD Cave of Ordeals IL Leaderboards Rule Update - Changes

Old wording:

Complete the Cave of Ordeals as fast as possible.
The dungeon must be fresh and untouched.
Timing starts upon gaining control of Link after entering Cave of Ordeals.
Timing ends upon talking to the last Great Fairy.
There is no difference between Any% and 100%


New wording:

Complete the Cave of Ordeals as fast as possible.
The dungeon must be fresh and untouched.
Timing starts upon gaining control of Link after entering Cave of Ordeals.
Timing ends upon talking to the last Great Fairy.

Any% runs simply need to reach the end timing point as quickly as possible via any means, including skipping floors and opening doors early.

100% runs must clear each floor properly by defeating all enemies on each floor, or speaking with the Great Fairy in the cases of floors 10, 20, 30, and 40. Skipping floors via any means or opening any door in any means other than clearing the floor properly (as defined above) is banned.


Changed Parts:

"There is no difference between Any% and 100%" - removed

"Any% runs simply need to reach the end timing point as quickly as possible via any means, including skipping floors and opening doors early.

100% runs must clear each floor properly by defeating all enemies on each floor, or speaking with the Great Fairy in the cases of floors 10, 20, 30, and 40. Skipping floors via any means or opening any door in any means other than clearing the floor properly (as defined above) is banned." - added


Additional Notes:

This was discussed many times haphazardly over the years.  The wording was specifically crafted such to ensure that 100% is going to be to clear the whole CoO just like it normally is done, as that in and of itself is a challenge and the original intent of the IL. Any run in the 100% list will qualify for Any% just like every other IL. However, now it is made clear where an IL run which does not do the Cave as it is intended to be done falls, where before these runs were somewhat in a gray area and did not have a true home.
The wording chosen is also intended to futureproof the rules such that if a trick is found which allows you to skip floors via clipping OOB or such, that trick will only be applicable to the Any% category for the CoO IL leaderboards.
