City in the Sky
It's conceivable that small key skip with JS is fast for hundo when TASed, but I doubt it
- LJA to the lower floor
- Clawshot everywhere
- Clawshot crystal switch from corner
- Gate LJA
- Continue clawshotting up and enter Giant Deku Baba room
- Clawshot onto target then vines
- Climb vines, then jump onto platform with small deku baba
- LJA across to HP #38 in chest (16 3/5)
- Clawshot up to two targets and then vines
- Drop from vines and LJA to upper door, then exit
- Doing this in the outdoor area gets you past the first wall faster than the LJA, but you'd end up waiting on the peahat cycle to get back unless after getting the poe, you JS or LJA up to the rim of the poe area and then claw back to the vines with spiders. I'm not sure whether that could be faster for TAS, but it doesn't rely on peahat cycles.
- Fast peahat cycle with poe
- LJA across to chest (see end of video) for HP #39 in Chest (16 4/5)
- Enter door, clawshot across peahats, enter door
- Clawshot up to vines (don't do the LJA shown in the video after the clawshot)

- Kill Poe #54
- LJA across to boss key chest room
- Get boss key
- Drop twice to main room and enter north door
- Double LJA to skip turning fans on
- [Clawshots / Bomb Arrows]

- HC #7 (17 4/5)

General notes:
- Greatspin only works at full health, so don't get hit
- There are backup hearts on Floors 3, 7, 18, 22, 27, and 34
- Milk can be used to refill health, but try to avoid using milk when backup hearts will be available soon
- Rare Chu Jelly bottled on Floor 19 can be used to refill health if needed; Beast Ganon 2-cycle without Chu Jelly is RNG-dependent but potentially not much slower
