  1. Shortly before AGDQ we realized VC was likely now the fastest version over N64. The N64 version has always been faster because of eyeball frog early which was N64 1.0/1.1 exclusive and didn't work on VC, but VC has its own advantages of less lag/faster loads and deku stick as adult without crashing the game. The way routes were changing after equip swap was found benefited VC more than it did N64 which made it start to look like VC was faster. After AGDQ we started doing research to find out how much faster it might be, and also begin trying to reroute the VC route. Rerouting took forever and was full of awful ideas until we finally came up wit something that seems good on March 1st. This new route uses ass chest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjlyi-Ie3Us to get spooky mask early, which skips half of the mask trading quest as child which saves a huge amount of time, but also requires a lot of setup as adult. Overall the route saves about 2 minutes, full route comparison video made by fig here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUaFN6u1Q18

  5. Update 3/17 - So yesterday I did my first run of the new route and I didn't finish because I got a softlock at the end. I thought it was because I did a backup strat and thought that the backup strat just doesn't work with this strat. It turns out that if you play Bolero to warp to fire temple, set Farore's Wind in fire temple, then do the wrong warp from fire to ganon's castle, it causes a 349 day cutscene to play. This would have happened even with the proper strat and it means the route never actually worked in the first place! Luckily an idea for a small route change that was supposed to just be an idea that might be slightly faster was already being worked on, and it is now the required route because it fixes the "softlock" issue, while being about even time wise. This idea splits water temple into 2 parts and beats water temple in the middle of fire temple right before the end.
