This is a trick I found a few years ago although I never got around to making a video of it. This trick uses two concepts:
Owl save voidwarp: youtube.com/watch?v=ldNd5RJGhew
Powder Keg across files: youtube.com/watch?v=VRdS_RekXpg
The concept is to take a powder keg to a 1st cycle file using the above concepts, and then use it to indextrick into kafei's hideout.
Once inside, you need to pause through the prompt to kick link out at 10pm on day 2. The most optimal is 10 pauses but it depends when you start pausing.
Note that this trick is english only because it requires owl saves. If we found a way to use the masks on English, we could turn human in 1st cyce. Currently there is no way to do this on the English version of the game however.

Align roughly with the mid-left side of the door and go through it, then sidehop and mash the fairy button. Its really not precise.
Should save about 4ish seconds. [Edit: Does this require an extra pause? if so then its not 4 seconds...]
For using this in runs, I guess look at where you go through the door and then make a decision:
If it looks like you went through the door at the right place, pause + equip the fairy and then do the strats shown in this video.
If it looked like you didnt go through the door at the right place, just run forwards so that link takes a few steps and attempt to pause, equip the fairy, and then buffer the fairy on the unpause on the right spot. Small Any% timesaver](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vkXNE-Tj_JQ/mqdefault.jpg)
