I haven't finished the game yet, I just wanna post somewhere that if you get the Stamina Scroll from the Ice Ruins, you can skip some of the puzzles leading up to the desert temple. You're supposed to travel between Hyrule and Lorule a couple times and use the Sand Rod to navigate the desert, but with the increased gauge you can just merge with the wall and skip most of it. Dunno if it would save enough time to warrant going out of the way to get the Stamina Scroll or shuffle dungeons around to make it work.
[Needs video]
In the ore mine, you can skip a bunch of platforms on the way to the bottom. From the 3rd platform from the entrance, pegasus boots dash off the right side and you can barely reach one of the platforms on the way to the bottom. From there you can skip another platform by walking off the right side at the right time, then from there just 1 more to the bottom. I think you might be able to skip the 2nd last platform but I haven;t been able to do it. [Needs video]
In the swamp palace, you can get the big key as soon as you enter the main room by dashing towards it on one of the corners then just using the tornado rod. Saves a few seconds to get it now rather than later. [Needs video]

Some observations:
Ravio won't sell the bow until the cutscene where you observe orbs in the Eastern Palace plays. Dying immediately afterwards takes you straight to him.
Dying appears to give you the option to warp back to Link's house, which might be faster to do to reach Hyrule from Lorule.
Mama Maimai's children don't spawn until you talk to her first.
The Boomerang seems to be completely unnecessary for puzzle solving.
Items become buyable after the first three dungeons. Ice/Fire Rods are 1200 ea, everything else is 800 ea.
Seems like if we could clip into the boss arena somehow for the Desert dungeon, that'd be pretty big.
Desert Palace is where you rescue Irene. While captured there is only a single text box each time the broom is called vs possibly multiple text boxes. However, text is incredibly quick and an optimal route probably wouldn't have all that many teleports.

Early Lorule Castle seems to be out of the question, if you time the A button correctly, Link won't open the door properly. The animation is similar to opening a locked door without a key.

Clipping through a 'south' portal you get to see a blue OoB.

Absolutely useless clip into a tree:

The Early Heart Piece could possibly be useful for 100%, but it may just be faster to get the power glove and then get it perhaps when going back to get the Master Sword.
I haven't found anywhere else where you can do anything similar to the Clip into the tree. Interesting that it works here and nowhere else though.
mzxrules:
Few more things:
You can avoid a short dialog with the Zora on the route to Queen Zora by leaving the board while still merged to the wall.
The Smooth Gem can be bought as soon as the Thief bumps into you (rather than after talking to the Queen first). The cutscene where the Queen bloats up still plays as normal.
