The Video/Sound quality is fine.
For the gameplay, it's good and solid overall. There are a few mistakes in the harder segments, but nothing too severe.
What bothers me is the high segment count. You don't get a fluid watching experience when a segment is about a minute long. I know there is a reason for this, the hard sequence breaks, but in my opinion it would have been better to do about 3-4 segments, stopping right before the hard spots, accepting that you'd need to restart the segment a lot, while the rest of it would be rather easy.
Verdict:
Awful amount of segments, but partially justified and gameplay quality and especially planning/tricks is fine, so i'll accept.

There are a lot of cool sequence breaks done through the whole run.
Entertainment: 9 / 10
The speedrunner has always absolute control of the game and the Wiimote pointer. Even the harder sequence breaks were executed very fast without delay or failing once. No cheating or abuse of cheap tricks.
Tech Quality: 9 / 10
If you like the level of perfection and sequence breaks of a Metroid Prime run, you'll most likely enjoy this run!

Video Quality: Beautiful!
Audio Quality: Beautiful!
Gameplay: OMGWTFBBQ
Ok, seriously, I have absolutely nothing to object. This was very well played and some very creative sequence breaks found by taking advantage of a glitch in game. Some of the segmenting is a little silly (especially "Segment 1"), but whatever it takes for a low time, I guess.
To reject this would be a sin against humanity.

Ok, this was impressive, the sequence breaks especially.
Also was an entertaining thing to watch, runner has particularly fluid control with his movements.
A few mistakes in segment 17, but like the runner mentioned, the way the game keeps time prevents them from making all too much of a difference unless someone decides that this game also deserves a real time run category. I'd say this ought to go up.

There are no problems with the audio/video quality in this run, and the run itself is great. Despite difficult tricks, there are only few minor mistakes and the time is close to the segmented run. And it's pleasant to watch as it's single-segment, so i accept.

I would essentially be parroting my comments on the segmented run at this point. Until someone with steadier hands comes along and figures out how to move toku across entire screens with a rock, this run is probably the best thing Lost Winds will get.
I'd host it.

Single segment verification:
Video quality and audio are both fine. No cheating. Yeah, this run is really clean looking, with only a few mistakes, mainly stemming from the awkwardness of getting the lift trick to work. However, I think of the 4(?) times its used, he only messes up once. Seems to get a bit unlucky with the final boss; if I recall correctly, he normally begins his attack patterns earlier.

Video Quality: Excellent

I can give nothing but praise to this run. While I've gotten some impressive times, this game absolutely blows them out of the water, pulling off the same tricks in the single-session as he does in the segmented run. And they are FAR from easy, and outside of some minor troubles here and there, this run is nearly perfect. A time of 21 minutes may be possible, but would require perfect skill from the player. This will be extremely tough to beat.
No objections from me. Publish this alongside the segmented run.
Also to note (I don't believe I mentioned this on the segmented run), that this proves that the differences between low% and any% are so negligible, that there should be no separate categories for low% or any%. Just a low/any% and a 100% for SS and Segmented.
