can skip this bottle and watch about a minute of the Puppet Zelda cutscene instead (can skip cs after Link pulls his sword out)
this would save something like 30s by itself, but it would mean rerouting to have Coro's bottle before getting rare chu jelly from Ordon (or elsewhere), so it might not be faster
milk is also nice for health during boko pushing
fish (no rupees needed)
milk bottle
gate clip, lantern
boko pushing
goats 2, sewers, rooftops
get sword, shield, and portal
can save ~17s by doing S&S skip (quickly) after getting only the shield and then warping to Faron later instead of Ordon when returning for shield bash/boots/etc.
Faron
s faron portal
get midna charge but don't use it to finish fight
for shadow beast fights:
kill first one
damage down second and third ones with 9 A presses each (initial latching counts, so ideally it's JA + 5 bites (can mash), then JA + 2 bites (slow, every A press counts))
with second and third beasts near each other, JA one of them from far away to hit it right as it finishes the swing of an attack, making Link bounce off immediately
ASAP target the final shadow beast and mash A to kill
faron vessel
kill bugs and leave tears
EMS (howl) [B: 1]
SAVE IN GROVE
finish twilight, burn web
n faron portal as wolf
ending blow
enter FT
Forest Temple
break cage and kill right spider as wolf
glitchless first half FT
early rang is slow - saves 3s in Wii glitched vs. glitchless, but would require two extra transformations to avoid B
actually I forgot that no early rang means having to JA a vine spider as wolf on the way to big baba, so it probably is worth it
watch part of ook cutscene to start fight with sword out
can skip as soon as it shows the sword in Link's hand
alternatively, ook with wolf + pots (4x wolf JA, 3x wolf JA + 2x pot)
don't savewarp; get other monkeys and BK
Diababa partially with wolf
finishing with wolf softlocks on dolphin, might crash on console
1st cycle as wolf (2 JA), 2nd cycle with bombling
or 1st cycle as wolf (2 JA), put two pots near center of arena while waiting for Ook to show up, 2nd cycle with wolf (1 JA) and then two pot throws
Eldin Twilight
dash to Eldin (get mail)
gorge portal as wolf
warp bridge
eldin twilight (howl)
early city (yes to midna, no warp)
kak portal as wolf
no bomb house skip since no midna charge
Lanayru Twilight
tame epona
warp ordon for shield bash, orange rupee, IB, and rare chu jelly (125R)
roll from ordon spring to rupee + Bo; transform wolf after Bo to dash to ranch grotto
warp s faron, Epona to coro bottle (25R)
Epona to lanayru gate
gate clip with JA bonk, then stay wolf
could alternatively do human gate clip
karg to ZD portal
from ZD portal onward, can transform and use an IB roll to kill second shadow beast if desired, then immediately transform back and JA the final beast as normal
warp rock
lanayru twilight (don't howl yet) [B: 2 (+1)]
LH and CT portals with human IB + wolf
Getting to Lakebed
warp ZD
howl UZR
dupe iza bag
warp kak
save, quit, and reload save
makes duped bag contents act normally so that failing pillar clip won't remove water bombs from bag
can skip this save, but it would mean emptying 60 normal bombs from the bag instead of 30, so I think it'd be slower
Epona to eldin field
fish up water bombs (3+)
kill all skull fish by jumping in as wolf and JAing on land
warp LH
enter Lakebed (pillar clip or blow up rock) and savewarp
Lakebed Temple 1
set EBF from grove save
get 10 WB in first room
second room with bombs in rang
turn bridge, get ooccoo, drop to 1f east
get small key and return
turn bridge, 2f east
good idea to get 5 WB
rang + push lizalfos off cog
wolf JA (not jump) from cog spoke to deku toad entrance
let camera come up, align backs of back paws with back of cog spoke (in corner), c-up and make left side of screen cut pillar in half, JA
deku toad
wolf JA tadpoles, then hold bomb -> throw bomb into mouth -> hold bomb to finish (pull immediately after throwing)
savewarp, ooccoo out
Zora Armor and Morpheel
warp kak
hit KB trigger as human
KB with clawshot
warp CT
escort without 100R, ZA
would do SPR here but UMD seems to require a B press (checked with alternating As with frame advance)
ooccoo Lakebed
vine clip BK skip
Morpheel with IB [B: 10 (+8)]
Getting to Arbiter's Grounds
MDH
WCT GW for backslice [B: 11 (+1)]
SCT GW for helm splitter [B: 12 (+1)]
warp LH
howl, memo
desert (use boar)
mortal draw
bulblin camp with key
KB3 with MD (3 + 3 + 2)
Arbiter's Grounds
AG first room with mortal draw after chain pull for sword for wood
poe 1 skip
roll + brakeslide for pillar popup, then roll + brakeslide to pushable block (can clawshot up from the sand)
shield bash + frame perfect JA can also help
alternatively, get poe 1 and do glitchless route
get other poes
early BK
MD bubble, roll + brakeslide, shield bash + 1f JA sideways (no clank) and transform wolf immediately to climb
bubbles seem not to respawn on voidouts but do on exiting to poe gate and returning
human movement (don't use backslice)
stalfos with bombs
kill Death Sword with IB + MD [B: 13 (+1)]
stallord with MD
setupless Stallord Skip is theoretically faster
portal as human (MD + autospins)
raise mirror
Getting to Goron Mines
warp ZD, get sketch
warp kak, get earring
warp DM (can map warp)
ascend DM normally (can't early elly)
enter GM with spinner
Goron Mines
first room as wolf for wood bonks, no LJA (wolf can go under 2nd flame jet on way back)
RBTSTN(S4SO)
MD dodongo, elder 1
trudge across ceiling
magnets
small key, gate clip, MD bulblin, IB up wall to autospin bridge rope
