***Update***

The current world record for this category is now a 25:02 and the strategies used in it are very different. The video for it can be found in the playlist on my channel called "Current Best Runs".



Updated route with Scroll of Windform strategy. I go *very* in-depth about the strategies for the route, and other optimizations that help to save time. Something unexpected came up and I had to leave in the middle of the tutorial, so this is part 1 of 2.

For learning the run, I'd recommend a mix of watching my actual PB and this tutorial, which is currently a 33:49. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbp6y2a1DJs
