This tool-assisted speedrun was created with BizHawk. Timing begins with pressing "new game" and ends on the first black frame after the last scene. According to BizHawk that's 35:56.527 minutes or 131672 frames.
I manipulated the RNG towards not taking any damage in battles. And I took some frames to glitch out Boromir at the end.
Many thanks to PixelFlash and PeteDorr, whose speedruns were a huge help. You can watch them here:
