any% NMG intermediate route

This is a route on the English version with hookshot and 30 chus total. It is designed for an intermediate level player or an ambitious beginner. I tried to strike a nice balance between speed and difficulty, but there are many slight adjustments that could make this route faster/riskier or slower/safer. As written, this route saves around 1 minute over the current world record (1:15:26) route.
