WR as of 1/18/2013. This is still improvable but I absolutely crushed my previous record. The other commentator is Aftermathrar. In-game time is 32:53.
Update on 4/11/2013: I changed the video title to "glitchless speedrun" to differentiate it from the new speedrun route I use which skips into the Mine of Judgment early and fights 9 less bosses.

WATCH THE NEW RECORD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQzTQ-5rNbs
As far as I know, this is the first console speed run of SotN to be completed in under 20 minutes. This isnt a very good run and is definitely far from being submittable to SDA, but I figured since it was perhaps a bit of a milestone for speed running the game that it might be nice to upload.
This is the world record as of 2/20/2012, but this time will probably be crushed very soon so whatever. If you want to see me do live attempts of this run, follow http://twitch.tv/romscout and check the schedule for when Im doing runs of the game. I missed a skip entirely and messed up a lot, but hopefully you still enjoy this run! Expect a better one soon.")

I am already working on a sub-32 minute run to obsolete this one, but I hope you enjoy this anyway!")
