Any% (Bombs First) [OLD]
This route opts to get Bombs first after FF1. If you do Door Cancel Leaf into Lip Crush this route loses ~5 seconds compared to the optimal any% route, if you do the inside hover Leaf it loses ~45 seconds compared to the optimal any% route. Sail skip is optional, however obtaining the sail makes Door Cancel with vision more difficult to execute if you opt to go that route for the Leaf segment. Click here for the optimal route
