This game used to slow down in further areas, particularly in big ones like Monktown Valley, but now it runs a lot better thanks to recent dynarec improvements. It shares the same graphical issues and stutters as OoT does, but it can be beaten on Daedalus.

There is one issue, though. The game enters to some kind of debug mode as soon as you receive Cojiro at Cluck Clunck Ranch, which completely softlocks the game and prevents progress forward. This can be solved by switching the CPU to Interpreter, however. I don't know if this can be fixed with more dynarec fixes, but I'm merely pointing this out for anyone who plans to play this on Daedalus: 1) Change to Interpreter after the Epona event, right when Malon talks to you. 2) Save the game (through the game, not a savesate) as soon as you get Cojiro.

Here's a savestate to said event.

Playing on a vita 2000 model I was unable to obtain Cojiro even after changing the cpu to interpreter. A quick fix would be to use the megaflip ( https://oot-speedruns.fandom.com/wiki/Megaflip ) to get past the area where Cojiro is required to fly across. After that I was able to complete the game to the end.
