Actually there are plenty of cheats and glitches for the GameCube version. It's the Wii one that's impossible to cheat on 'cause there's no AR, but the Wii version has more glitches 'cause Nintendo QA had more time with the GC one.

well on my 1st and 2nd run through i beat it 1st with 28:37 then again with 15:17i got these times without using the strategy guide. then i ran through a third time with the stratigy guide with everything 100% in 21:14

um...i don't know of any cheats or glitches for the gamecube game but i didn't use any. (also, i heard that there was a way to skip half of lakebed temple? how do u do that?)

Not sure what you're referring to but here's some stuff that lets you skip some parts of Lakebed Temple:

YouTube - Twilight Princess: Water Conservation
YouTube - Twilight Princess: Wacky Water
YouTube - Twilight Princess: Giant Frog Early

oh...cool. i like the 1st and 2nd cheats but im not sure what the 3rd cheat is...

I also found a trick to get the boss key early, its pretty easy to do...

YouTube - Lakebed Temple Glitch

by mistake i put glitch instead of trick so dont get confused!

Sweetness...

40 hours flat... i figure thats a solid once through

Truthfully my first run was 203 hours!! Oh yeah 203. My second 34 hours. The first time I left my wii on for 4 days because I went away for 4 days and forgot to turn it off... hehe...

My time the second time though was 29 hours and 25 minutes. I did waste some time during the start of the game where I could have got better timing. And I also got all 7 Skills and I had 13 hearts. I also did a few sidequests like upgrading my arrows to 60 and getting all the bomb bags including the double size bomb bag. 22 Poe Souls. Caught 4 bugs.
