	* There is a required 60 second delay between the end of official timing of one game, and pressing start to begin the game on the next. This is to prevent emulator users from having an advantage over players of the original consoles. Additionally, an extra delay will be required depending on what platform is used for The Legend of Zelda. These times may be adjusted later as better information is found.
