@Spliffor b1 skip is more of a trick than a glitch.you are just using the physics of the game to skip basement 1. which is probably why it is used.

@bezerker99 i have speedrun this game myself only being able to beat it in 25 minutes, you have no idea how skilled you have to be to do these glitches, missing an angle could cost you the entire thing.
it took me 3 weeks of spending hours doing the warp to ganon and getting it consistently . it takes more skill to beat the game quickly with glitches than it does to beat it casually.
You underestimate how hard it is to do so.

@Big_Gamer A glitch is something broken in the game that was overlooked and not fixed. it is part of the game itself,meaning it was practically made like that making it a game feature. how is it cheating for using a game feature .
Also a speedrun is defined as trying to beat a game as fast as possible without using external devices or hacks to speed it up. glitches are not illegal to a speedrun cause they are in the game.

the game has been beaten without glitches before and the world record is here http://zeldaspeedruns.com/speedruns/4146 ... it is muchmore technical to beat it with glitches.

@PKFire yes and no...it is possible to do the glitch where you warp to ganons castle, however it is done from dodongo's cavern http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0P3j4LckVk
