Any% Route Discussion (Updated 9/17/12)

Is the pillar clip the same one as with zora armor? how is that faster than rupee diving? and why do you do the first king bulbin fight?

The Pillar Clip is different than the one with Zora Armor -- you have to do it on the left side and the clip is extremely difficult. Rupee dive is faster... if you can get a blue rupee that has about ~10% chance of spawning to appear the first time you try digging and manage to get the dive (which has extremely tight timing) before the blue rupee disappears. First King Bulblin fight is done to get to Kakariko Village.

Can you tell me how the route has changed since Paraxade's segmented run? I don't get why you use BiTE to get to kakariko, and is their a video of this pillar clip?

BiTE is used to cut out the traveling to King Bublin 1, since doing BiTE puts you right at the King Bublin 1 fight.

But Paraxade never did the first king bublin fight in his run why is it even necessary in the new route?

Because Paraxade's run is outdated and beat Forest Temple, and could therefore warp the bridge and cross it.

It's not actually necessary. It's not even the fastest way. This is. However, when skipping forest temple, it is the only remotely easy way to get to kakariko.
