This is another comparison that aims to time the difference between using an explosive to enter in Dodongo's Cavern as child or not. The clip on the left was taken from SwordlessLink's MST TAS: youtube.com/watch?v=MHXFj8N8lbQ
While current MST routes don't get bombs as child, I think it's a good option to save bombchus for long hovers in some areas such as spirit hover, fire hover, or forest trial (if we use quick put away glitch to skip fire arrows).
The reason for this comparison is because of tight bombchu count after getting the 10 bombchus in Bottom of the Well to get to bombs: 4 bombchus are required to hover and get past the guard gate, 2 more to enter DC (rock + entrance wall), and 4 more for DC hover. So all bombchus are used. However, it is possible to enter in DC without explosives by using this trick Skater found: youtube.com/watch?v=qERxiPcgdtc . The idea is to use this saved bombchu immediately in BotW to get both hylian shield and deku shield, to avoid buying them, as they cost a good amount of time.
