Looks like I missed the cutoff for this one, but I still ended up doing it anyways.
IGT: 1:37:35.05 | CR: 135/216
My lowest collection rate thus far. Was a pretty generous seed with early tempered sword, and silvers on GT torch.
The main "questions" that this seed asked you:
1) Did you grab enough money for Zora? Hammer was on Zora so if you left that check for later you could have lost some time in the early game. The tier 2 tree pull was red rupees, so that could have helped. I was still a little short so I ended up fluting back to kakariko and turning in the golden bee to the merchant for 100 rupees (good trick to know!)
2) Did you dip EP? I actually skipped EP after checking Sahasrala, opting to check DP first since I had book and I had a gut feeling. Felt great when I saw gloves on desert ledge, but turned out later on that mirror is in EP, so that cost me time. I should perhaps weight more towards doing the EP dip, I think it's harder than I feel like it is to cleanly avoid it.
3) Did you full clear TT or just nope out after checking the first 4 chests? Unfortunately I got the worst of both worlds -- I checked the first 4 chests, saw only one item, decided to go further, and then died stupidly, twice! Which prevented me from getting titan's mitts =( This definitely cost me time. Fortunately it didn't cost me a =ton= of time since it became pretty obvious that I should go back there to look for progression, but it still cost me.
4) Fake flippers? Hobo had fire rod, and you needed to clear IP, but you could fake flipper to do both of those things, meaning flippers (on bombos tablet) were not required. I never saw them.
5) Hovering? Hookshot was on cave 45 and if you are good with hovering you could have skipped that as well. I've never been able to do it though, so I needed to grab the hookshot.
Another mistake I made (and then realized quickly) was going to MM before IP. I didn't realize IP was also full clearable (via fake flipper). IP is much faster to full clear and that would have led to me being able to go mode MM instead of walking around and checking a bunch of chests there.
The last part of the seed was super nice. Boots on Kholdstare for go mode meant getting to skip flippers. Never stepped into SP or TR. GT big key was pretty early on and silvers were on GT torch. Easy ganon fight, even had half magic!
