    • Can ride toward purple rupee from load and freethrow rang from Epona to pick it up, then ride to Rusl's house and do targets for orange once rang comes back
    • If this costs more time over just getting the orange than I think it does, it may be better to get one of the purple rupees in GM, but I expect this to be better

  • Do not howl
  • Talk to Iza and open UZR portal as human
  • Say no first
  • Press A to talk and d-pad to open map on same frame

  • Warp to Ordon Spring and begin Item Wheel Delay
    • Alternate A+B where possible; pause and unpause when necessary to achieve other inputs
  • Learn Shield Attack
  • Savewarp on the first frame after the slow text box for learning the skill
  • Warp UZR
  • Repeat this process through savewarping after learning Mortal Draw or Jump Strike (see note below)
  • Learn Jump Strike from golden wolf normally (no more IWD)
  • On the final savewarp, equip Ordon Sword in preparation for EBMBSKSKSS if using sword instead of pot
  • You'll need to check this: It may be faster to get Great Spin from desert wolf normally instead of using IWD on Ordon wolf through Jump Strike and then getting Great Spin from Ordon wolf normally. Can roughly compare (movement to Lake Hylia stone + howling + 2 transformations at desert wolf + learning sequence without savewarp) from your first hundo TAS vs. (warp UZR + get IWD + get to Ordon wolf + learning sequence with savewarp).
    • Great Spin still 3-cycles Fyrus

Getting to Goron Mines

  • Warp S. Faron
  • Dash to Coro and transform to human
  • Begin UMD (must be from Midna warp, not map warp)
  • Buy bottle (2/4) (189R)
  • End UMD to warp to Death Mountain right in front of Coro

Goron Mines

  • Pipe jump
    • Conceivable that a JSMB onto the railing right after pipe jump could be fast (JSMB angled leftward to not fall off)
  • Skip first two flame jets
  • LJA to platform over lava
  • Open gate or wolf gate clip (not sure which is faster without Midna on back to open the door afterward)
  • Get small key - should save time over getting one of the other two keys
  • EBMBSKSKSS with bulblin
    • If you use Ordon Sword instead of a pot and already have Great Spin from golden wolf duping, you can use Ordon Sword GS on Fyrus and not re-equip Master Sword until equipping ZA, which saves a pause
  • Open upper door to magnetic ceiling room
  • LJA down to switch and activate
  • Head left to HP #8 in chest (5 3/5)
  • Void to respawn at upper door
  • Return to main room
  • Main room with moving magnets

  • Skip cutting down bridge
  • Outside area small key? Not sure whether it's faster to skip this or the previous one
  • Enter east door
  • Skip Shard 2
  • Dangoro (glitchless TAS was faster than others - can hit with a setupless JA with precise positioning, no boomerang)
  • Hero's Bow
    • [Bow / Boomerang]
  • Jump past bridge instead of shooting it down right away
  • Big Key (Shard 3)
    • BSMB over beamos is possible and faster than pulling, but JSMB (bomb boost necessary?) feels like it'd be slower than pulling beamos
  • Backtrack through Dangoro's room (glitchless TAS movement was fast)
  • LJA over water and return to outdoor area
    • [Bow / Clawshot]
  • Clawshot to netting on the right
    • [Bow / Boots]
  • Jump down and go to next room

  • LJAs over Midna and King Bulblin 1 triggers
