Thanks to TestRunner and CloudMax for posting on ZSR how to get that cutscene to play early, and Kazooie for finding the original version of this using a different file. Also, the reason it's in Japanese is because that's the version I've been playing because it's far superior for speedrunning (much much faster text).

Anyway, this is rather confusing, so I added annotations; they'll explain most of how to do this. Why it works, I have no idea, but whatever. This'll save around 15-20 minutes in a run as you can skip fighting the Imprisoned, repairing Scrapper, turning the windmills and playing the song on the Tower of Light. You can go into the thunderhead and get Farore's Courage early, but you can't actually play it til you get the harp.
