This is sad, I actually don't know why this didn't work.
In the first main room of ice cavern, there's a loading plane pretty high up which leads into another small room with an underwater door. That underwater door leads to the iron boots room.
The idea here was to use SRM to move the load plane down to ground level so that I could load that small room from ground level. I then proceed to use SRM a second time to grab the underwater door itself which loads once you go through that load plane. Succeeding this, I tried entering the door expecting it to load the Iron boots room...
And it actually does! for about 3 frames... and then unloads again and all the doors and loading planes pop back into their proper place. I have no idea why. It's a bit weird
Ah well, worth a try.

![ESS Dupe over Deku mask as Zora
Proof of concept.
You need to get zora under a ceiling thats so low, even deku cant stand there. Im working on a red potion bottle skip for any%, this is something that might be included if it works out, but we need a better spot than this.
If anyone can think of some really convenient, on-route spots with low ceilings, let me know :)
