All Dungeons
Runs should start with a blank file in slots 1, 2, and 3, as all files are used during the run.
It is helpful to watch a top run on the leaderboard for reference when learning, as this route document can only go into so much detail.

Addenda
2-Trip Eldin
Completing Eldin Twilight in 1 trip means getting the boomerang after Eldin Twilight, which makes the more beginner-friendly Bomb House Skip as human impossible. An alternative route completes Eldin Twilight in 2 trips, which allows for human Bomb House Skip and is slower only by a small amount of cursor movement on warps:
- In Eldin Twilight, after saying 'Yes' to Midna at the cannon in the sanctuary basement, warp N. Faron
- Ending Blow through Zora's Domain warp portal as described in the route above
- After Zora's Domain warp portal, warp Kakariko and finish Eldin Twilight (from Malo Mart bug onward)
- After Eldin Vessel complete, warp Death Mountain and routes merge
(⮤ return to route)
