I played it. I beat it. Then I beat it faster, and faster still. Then I reviewed it. This is the speedrun of that review.
For a mini-quest that's meant to be beaten as fast as possible it's actually very solid; 4 stars. While this isn't everyone's cup of tea (quite the contrary), a small number of people will most likely have a lot of fun with it for sure.
Interestingly, this type of quest idea is very hard to pull off in actual practice. You kind of have to make a quest designed to be beatable in less than ten minutes yourself before you realize just how tricky it is.
This quest is beatable in under an hour one your first attempt, easy, so there's really no reason to not try it out if you are curious.

Information
This is my submission from the 24 hour Quest Contest 2017. It has been polished to get rid of the rougher spots and become more seamless. The gimmick is that this game has been made to speedrun (hence the title).

Description
This is my first completed quest I've submitted to the data base! This version differs from the original version I submitted for the 24 Hour Contest mostly in that the final dungeon is not as unfair. And I added a hall of fame. FASTER features:
-A 5 by 5 overworld with lots of small secrets
-2 dungeons featuring some challenging combat
-A hall of fame including the fastest speedruns of the quest (see more information below)
Since this game is designed to be speedrun, I thought it would only be appropriate to include a hall of fame sort of deal. Right now, since the quest has not been released, the hall of fame has place holder names. But PM me with your times to get included in the hall of fame in future updates of the quest. Runs with video or pictures will be prioritized over runs without any context or evidence. Also right now the only category being included is real time, meaning the in game time is irrelevant (use a timer online, anything like that to keep track). Also message me if you want to see some other category added. For some more finer print detail read the tips and cheats.
Also check the help thread on FASTER for the most up to date records (as I won't be constantly updating the quest).
That's it. Good luck and I really hope you enjoy it!

One day Link woke up and realized he had to go faster. Try to save the Princess in as little time as possible!
Tips & Cheats
General
-The most challenging enemies on the overworld are optional. Don't feel obligated to beat them.
-Try to get some Heart Containers before entering the final dungeon. As they'll help.
-The final boss is tricky. If you are having a lot of trouble, there is a cheese strat: stand toward the upward edge of the water where he can't hit you and spam. This is basically a free win.
-The quest is unpassworded. Feel free to look over it. This can be helpful for trying to find the best path for a speedrun. You might see something you haven't seen before.
-There is a god strat built into this game which is pretty well hidden and pretty challenging. See if you can find it.
Speedruns
-Real time forbids the use of uncapping or ~.
-Obviously, if you go in and edit the quest, your run is invalid.
-A run ends once you reach Zelda.
