1st finished run of the new new route (lol) so not that good.
New changes are mostly minor things.
We do Early Faron Pillar in first BiT then get Goddess Sword. It seems dumb but skips a BiT so actually faster. In this case, we don't copy a file after death warping from sky. All 3 files after Earth Temple have entered Faron (= open map and crash when you enter Faron in BiT) so have to get a harp at first in Lanayru (having a harp causes Groose cutscene so don't open map).
We used to beat Skyview and Earth Temple on a different file but not anymore. This allows to use corrupt file in early game. You can get a heart container for horde too but have to use a chair though.

Recently, people found early boss rush which saves about 30 mins. Fighting certain bosses in the mini-game earlier than intended sets story flags that should not be set yet.
Skipping all B-items became possible then and it turned out much faster than expected.
The route is extremely complicated and requires a hard trick in Earth Temple.
