Part 4, last part that I finished.
This part is just getting chest storage and going to Helmaroc. Nothing special to see. I reload the ocean a few times for fragmentation.
So, how does this TAS continue from here?
- After skipping Helmaroc (which doesn't exist anyway), we obtain the Master Sword and Hero's Shield from a cutscene.
- Barrier Skip MUST be performed with Actor Unloading. This is because we don't have the deku leaf ! To enter Ganon's Tower, we must zombie hover (by starting the hover with a bomb), and land and die into the Ganon's Tower loading zone. This makes us die in GT and respawn there. This zombie hover is impossible if the barrier is not unloaded, due to the knockback barrier !
- Since we don't have the deku leaf, the trial door MUST be unloaded. This is impossible to optimize with current tools, but really I was considering going in and out of one of the trial rooms, while doing some slow corruptions, it always ends up working even if it's slow.
- The Phantom Ganon Wall MUST be unloaded. This is trickier and must be prepared from the Trial Rooms. This skips Light Arrows. The normal skip here also needs the deku leaf usually, this is our workaround.
- The Grand Staircase and Puppet Ganon Cutscene are skipped. We can do the same skips as any% RTA does. Skipping the Puppet Ganon Cutscene means that we do not receive the Fully Charged Master Sword or the Mirror Shield from it.
- Puppet Ganon Skip must be done without the leaf. Usually we drop bombs mid-hover using the leaf. The work-around is to drop a bomb by storing the death cutscene: youtube.com/watch?v=hTT25_wwXp0
Once again, the Bombs are necessary here, to start the hover especially. The only alternative for damage is Puppet Ganon itself, but with all the unloads done previously, being able to load PG sounds unlikely. The storage to skip this death cutscene is our wind waker requirement (we will note that deku leaf also means magic, hence usually considered more items).
- To get to the final platform, we do the fairy hover. You cannot do morth hover without the deku leaf.
- The Ganondorf Cutscene is skipped (it looks like this: youtube.com/watch?v=MTU8bplMfpA ). This skips getting the Mirror Shield and the Fully Charged Master Sword, and thus these items are skipped ! We note that the hero's shield can reflect light arrows perfectly fine.
With this, the game is finished, and the items obtained are (in order):
Wind Waker, Bombs, Bomb Bag 30, Master Sword, Hero's Shield.

![TWW - Tingle Balloon Strat for DRC Boss Key [FtR]
For the record. Saves 10 seconds over the standard strat. This part is in between 2 savewarps so its never faster to turn on the tuner for this, but uploading anyway because 10 seconds saved from one tingle balloon isnt very common.

For the record. Modified version of something found by LegendOfLinkk. This is quite slow. TWW - Alternate Path to Medli [FtR]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zvy194gU6R4/mqdefault.jpg)
