If the Lorule route for any% doesn't change with these skips, in other words, if Swamp Palace is done after Turtle Rock, this video shows what the new Swamp Palace split would look like. Skipping the big bomb by doing the Big Bomb Skip saves approximately 47 seconds (assuming no mistakes) and the Swamp Palace Dash Skip saves approximately 1 minute (assuming no mistakes). To do the Big Bomb Skip, pop out of the wall and turn to the torch. Charge your sword and Link will automatically poke out the flame. Position yourself in the top right corner facing left with the ice rod equipped. Use the ice rod and immediately cancel the lag with quick equip. Run left and as soon as Link falls from the platform mash the B button. Once you quick equip cancel the ice rod lag, never stop running left. The Swamp Dash Skip is much more difficult. The same steps apply for the most part, except once you leave the platform hold down and mash the B button. The enemies also tend to get in your way so that definitely messes up the consistency. I've experimented with this near Swamp Palace and Desert Palace in Lorule and it seems to work in places where deep water touches a wall or two walls that form a corner. With this you may be able to access the Swamp Palace boss immediately or skip the fight entirely. I'm sure more can be discovered using this trick so let's get experimenting albw fam. :3
