No Save & Quit (Bombs)
A memory card is not needed to run this route.
This route is intended for the NTSC-J Gamecube release of the game, which is the fastest language for this route. For a route that works on NTSC-U and PAL, click here. Because having blue rupee text available in Arbiter's Grounds is necessary for Poe Gate Clip, this route must avoid all blue rupee text up to that point.
This route is approximately 25 seconds faster than the no bombs route, but adds various difficult tricks (Deku Toad Early Bomb, Wolfos Superjump, Death Sword Skip, and Stallord Skip)
