Might be magic...
Submitted - verifiers welcome 
I didn't quite nail it though - there's at least one spot where 10 seconds or so was wasted (Shak) but it's balanced by the super fast deaths of Rodrick and the golem.
This game in particular can be a bit of a challenge to speedrun due to the controls which sometimes play up - there's an example at 16:16 where the mouse goes outside the movement window and selects the "get" cursor.
In a segmented run it would also be possible to use the "Easy Move" mode more to speed things up in certain places - in a single segment run its hard because the turning motion sometimes doesn't register when you press the key so you can end up way off track sometimes.
Also thought of one potential improvement - instead of getting the Greater Heal (before the hilt) there's a potion of Heal (normal, not greater) in a barrel in the first knights room, which we have to go through anyway. It's debatable whether this would actually save any time because using the barrel and then hunting for the potion on the ground takes time, and it's actually very quick to get the Greater Heal anyway.
