Using the new Child Ledge Clip, it's finally possible to enter the Kakariko Shooting Gallery as child, without FW. This is significant because a DHWW with the "Kakariko from Gallery" entrance goes to Inside Ganon's Castle.
In the video I show two cool things this allows us to do. Both of them require having explosives before meeting Zelda: they can be obtained either with SRM in GtG (youtu.be/gSBBhH6F6uA), or with GIM in BotW, which for now requires Iron Boots NG+.
[Edit: I forgot 2 other methods to get explosives:
Bombs can be obtained from source using a series of glitches, like ISG to enter DC, QPA to break the first wall, and waiting 36 minutes with a Deku Spear to lower the staircase (youtu.be/AuBN-0G9bEM).
And another place to get bombchus is Spirit Temple, which requires a TAS-only L-Slide over the river of sand]
The first thing is DoT Skip without Zelda's Lullaby/Farore's Wind, by exiting Ganon's Castle after the wrong warp and going to the market. The only method to skip the guards during DHWW is with a Ledge Cancel to make the camera pan out enough to cull the guards. After doing this trick, you could get the Odd Poultice as adult, RBA ZL and get FW. This would let you do a cutscene #07 Wrong Warp from Zelda's Courtyard using FW.
The second thing is Double Defense as Child. By reaching the castle with the wrong warp, you can go to Zelda without clearing the Hyrule Castle entrance cutscene. If you then trigger that entrance during DHWW, you will warp to Outside Ganon's Castle and cutscene #00 will play. I assume this happens because the game tries to play the HC entrance cutscene by indexing cutscene data with a "segment offset", but the scene loaded is different and so stuff is in the wrong place (here's some more info about this: wiki.cloudmodding.com/oot/Entrance_Cutscenes
wiki.cloudmodding.com/oot/Addresses#Segment_Addresses).
Anyway, once the cutscene ends you can just enter the Fairy Fountain normally.

This allows Max% Child to get a higher upgrade in the adult trade slot and also obtain a new item, Spirit Medallion with RBA. It can only be done on the 1.0 version due to being able to interrupt the put away animation (like for Blank A).
[Edit: it can now be done in any version, even OoT3D (which doesnt need this anyway): https://youtu.be/p5TobxoMAQc]
I found this while researching the stuff I showed in this video (https://youtu.be/0sznvpLTwqs), so you can watch that if youre interested.
Basically this works because if you break the Carpenters boss NPC by interrupting his dialog, hell keep thinking youre talking to him. Using something that makes a choice selection appear (Sarias Song), you can then tell him you selected the first option, which he can only interpret as yes I want to trade in the Poachers saw.
This does not work with other NPCs like King Zora or Fado, so you cant get Eyeball Frog or Poachers Saw the same way.
Explanation of the inputs:
1)Perform DF Canceling normally, so drop a bomb, quickspin, use Dins Fire before the spin disappears, press A the frame before getting hit (2nd explosion frame as child if you shield dropped the bomb).
If you use other methods, like Lens of Truth, remember that you need an item in hand for the next step.
Important thing to note is that you cannot pause buffer the A press, because you cant talk to NPCs out of a buffer.
2)Use a deku nut the frame after pressing A. This will interrupt the put away animation (1.0 exclusivity), canceling the dialog and letting you move around with Speak A. Pressing A now will softlock, but you can pause to remove Speak A if you want.
3) Use any trade item or magic beans in such a way that the carpenter will be culled when you close the text box.
4) Uncull the carpenter and play Sarias Song, then select the first option. If youre too far the collection trigger will still spawn, just get close to him to obtain the sword.
This method to get Speak A works the same as the Open A I had found for chests (Zombie Hovering), so the explanation about the interaction flag is there: https://youtu.be/JSHppr-zWC8.
(Also, you cannot use the 1.0 nut throw to get Zombie Hovering with any chest, because ground jumps disable buttons)")
