Link's Awakening - Reverse Dungeon Order with ICS in

ICS in LADX is complex and currently random. A consistent setup is in the works, and once that's finished, this time will get lower, but it won't be for a while

ICS works especially well for RDO because when you S+Q during ICS, you are placed back to the last save point. Because you don't enter dungeons via their entrance, you are placed back into the last cave you entered. This makes getting to the next dungeon significantly faster. However, the route is risky because some ICSs save more time than others and one, D7, is mandatory or else you must hard reset, killing the run. D8, 5, 3 and 1 are the most important ones to get that won't immediately kill a run. In this run, I got 8, 7, 6, 5 and 1. Previous runs had 4/8 but they also missed 5 and 3 and sometimes 1, so final times were always higher than even the best times with the non-ICS route.

This run is now officially verified on speedrun.com.
