Use this free Zelda speedrun timer to measure a complete run or practise a section. Start immediately or use the optional five-second countdown, then stop and resume or reset for another attempt.
How to use the speedrun timer
- Choose your game and category, and decide where you will start and finish timing.
- Optionally select Countdown before starting. Press Start to begin immediately or after the five-second countdown.
- Press Stop when you finish. Press Start again to resume the same time, or Reset to return to zero.
The timer measures elapsed time in your browser. It does not save results or record splits, so note your final time before resetting or leaving the page. Keep the page open during your attempt.
Timing a Legend of Zelda speedrun
Use the timer for a run of Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Breath of the Wild or another Zelda game. Pick a game, version and goal before starting: reaching the ending, completing every dungeon and following a glitchless route can all require different plans.
Practise your Zelda route
- Learn the sequence. Note the items, quests and travel routes you need for your chosen goal.
- Isolate difficult sections. Practise a dungeon, boss or movement trick separately before adding it to a full attempt.
- Compare like with like. Record the game version and rules alongside your time; a shortcut allowed in one category may be prohibited in another.
Can I use this time for a leaderboard?
This stopwatch is useful for practice and personal timing, but leaderboard rules vary by game and category. Check the community’s start and end points, timing method, version restrictions and evidence requirements before submitting. Some categories use in-game time or require video verification, so the displayed stopwatch time may not be the official result. See Speedrun.com’s guide to starting a speedrun and the rules for your chosen game.
