It's going to be my first time speed running a game and I just want to know what would you consider the best option would be to understand the core fundamentals to speed running, in the future I would like to speed run other 2d/3d platformers but I would also love to give the new zelda game coming to wii u a run for it's rupees when that comes out, I understand that the main answer will be "play what you enjoy the most" but I love both games just as equally and I'm the kind of gamer that can keep playing the same game forever if I attach my own goal or challenge I'm trying to pursue.

Just a few things to note weekdays I have roughly about 4 hours game time to practice and weekends I got all the time in the world for attempting some runs.

Thanks for future input

Super Mario Brothers 3

It got decent physics and you don't have to ultra glitch the game to do a good time. It comes down to perfecting your skills and knowing perfectly the level's content. The downside is that if you are aiming for a WR, there is not a lot of room for improvement as the current WR holder did it so perfectly and got almost a perfect RNG.

don't get me wrong those 2 are decent options but I put my title as it is for a reason, I'm not looking to buy anymore stuff I don't have hence why I'm asking about the 2 games I own (I used to own those games in the past but because of my parents divorce I don't have my own snes or n64 anymore)

Wake up and be awesome

Also Wind Waker is really long, over 4 hours. Just keep that in mind

HELLO!

Oh I'd be remiss if I didn't say. If you have or can get ahold of Super Luigi U, run *it*. It's designed from the ground up for speedrunning.

I would go with 3D World because if I remember correctly, it's more a more straight-forward game than WWHD.

Granted I've never actually played either game, but from just watching runs, WW has a bunch of really difficult tricks. I know the HD version sounds easier, but is still really difficult
