Here's the video of it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rG599wfdifU) This route could possibly still have some fleshing out. I didn't test to see if I could find a way to just walk up to the nut in the room where you throw the stick at the door thing, which I'm pretty sure would be faster than having to kill the Deku Babas and sit through their bulbs' animations. For now though I'm fairly certain the optimizations in most of the rooms can't be improved.

Wonder if this could be faster than zombie hovering.

I'm not sure how this compares to zombie hovering, but there were a couple optimizations I didn't do in the video. When leafing form the big flower, I could have aimed a bit more to the right to save a bit of time, and the grass on the top of the tree right before the mini-boss room contains magic for you to get. Also, with this you wouldn't have to use the Tingle Bomb or Red Ting and could instead use the Tingle Balloon in the spike nut room if you really want to. The hanging nuts on the room's level where the mini-boss door is both contain blue rupees, I found, which could (maybe?) be used for more Tingle stuff.

Either way I like seeing that this route closes part of the gap between Tuner and no Tuner routes. I'm sorta hoping that more routes like these are conceived to even further close the gap, too.

In comparison Yashi's playing was 5 seconds faster than a play done by Cosmo using hovering, without factoring mistakes on either side. It could be left to preference in a Tuner speedrun.

What wasn't shown in the video was the fact that if you don't get first try storage you get the nearby Chu to attack you, and the further messing up storage means more Chus. This route might be a Swede-only route  :P
