Remember kids:
In professional gaming speed runs,
Exploits =/= Cheating

Absolutely true. Exploits are fine. Modifying the game is when it becomes cheating.

Playing or doing something in the game the way it's not meant to be done isn't cheating but
adding something into the game that does the same thing is. By that logic, cheat codes are not
cheating but playing a game that's been patched by the dev is cheating.

Also, cheat codes are cheating because they're explicitly created for that purpose.

i still feel like exploits defeat the purpose of playing the game in the first place. They
shouldn't be allowed in speedruns because it wasn't the intention of the developers for the game
to be played that way

That's why exploit-free play is allowed as a speedrun category.

So if a game has console commands and you use them, that wouldn't be cheating? They're in a game
already, not added in at all, and not put in there to cheat on a game, it's meant to test the
game.

That is considered cheating because that gives you provides an unfair advantage. Don't you follow

It's best not to argue with idiots. They'll just try to bring you down to their level.

It also wasn't the intention to play the game as fast as possible

inputting cheats is cheating because they are cheats
console commands are cheating because the console is just a provided way to edit the game and
editing the game is cheating
If you decide that exploits are cheating, you suddenly have to decide which exploits are
cheating. Where do you draw the line? Is moving faster by sidedashing in OOT cheating? It's
certainly not intended by the devs. If so, that speedrun is going to be a very boring one.

side jumping in OOT isnt used to go faster by speedrunners. walking backwards is. the side
jumping is used for positioning for certain gltiches
