Full route tutorial by thesausage with links to kz save states.
"This route is intended for a relatively ambitious beginner with access to practice tools. If you just want to turn on the game and do a casual speedrun with no practice, this is not the route for you. This route is intended to give a beginner a sense of what running this category is really like, which includes some practice to get comfortable with major skips like swamp gossips grotto alternate exit and Woodfall boss key skip. However, I have chosen beginner-friendly versions of those skips, and I have omitted some very difficult tricks (like Lullaby skip HESS) entirely."
This route is for English Wii VC. The object of this category is to beat the game without using SRM, ACE, or Text Overflow.
This category makes ample use of bomb tricks such as hovers, HESSes, long jumps, and megaflips, so you may want to familiarize yourself with those techniques first via the links under "Techniques" on the left sidebar. Some setups also use these fundamental movement techniques.
Equips are notated as (e.g.)

where the location in red text refers to the map point set for the next Index Warp, and the item in parentheses shows which slot the item before it is equipped over (here, ocarina is equipped on the bow slot). Bomb, bombchu, and rupee counts are notated as [b, c, r] where relevant. See Common Terms and Abbreviations for other acronyms.
