Saves ~1.5s over the normal master sword one cycle. Similar to the water bomb 1 cycle, doing five slashes with the master sword followed by a bomb hit is enough damage to complete the fight.
As the normal bomb will disappear if dropped into the water, the boomerang has to be used to get it to explode against deku toad. The easiest way to do this is to pull a bomb after the five slashes and run to the edge of deku toad's mouth, face slightly towards the tongue, and do a c-up quick toss of the boomerang to have the bomb explode against deku toad's body, close enough for the blast to still hit its tongue. You can do this by targeting the tongue or turning manually.
Also shown is the fast bomb dropping by dropping with gale.

The title screen in BiT is really unstable on the Wii version, and pressing A or B will cause the game to crash in most situations.
In cases where the title screen doesnt crash (Which is very important for BiTE as you press both A and B to perform it) you usually still cannot roll despite being able to press A.
Sometimes you can roll though. I have no idea why.

Previous run (1:01:04): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvWhbnWpcuU
Worse run than my previous one overall, but didnt die in Goron Mines. Bad EMS and Bo, and pretty sloppy mines which is disappointing since its what Im best at.
Uploading on this channel because I think I only want to upload to my main channel when I get runs Im proud of, and have high quality videos for them. This run is bad and I will beat it. Aiming for sub 1 hour currently, and dont intend to do key shard skip until then.
Dont interpret that as me saving the 30s as free timesave later... not at all. That trick is a massive pain and itll be way harder to get runs finished while attempting that. Pretty addicted to this category atm, dont think Ill go back to Wii any% until I get a time Im satisfied with.
The aim of Goron Mines RTA is to beat the Goron Mines dungeon as fast as possible from starting a new game. Because the first dungeon, the Forest Temple, is completely skipped and so the Gale Boomerang is never obtained, GM RTA is actually faster on Wii due to the exclusive magnetic ceiling glitch. Im playing this on Gamecube however, simply because I wanted a break from Wii and this is a very fun, short category.

Chimpas method of rescuing the underground monkey in forest temple: https://youtu.be/2RB6Os0mB1U?t=235
Rather than going down to break the cage and then climbing back up the vines, burn just the web to the right then with precise aim target the underground bombling, and stand above the other web. The boomerang withe the bombling will track you underground and explode on the ceiling of where youre standing, blowing up the cage.
This saves about 4 seconds over the other method with a two handed vine grab (https://youtu.be/7v11Ev_amzU?t=2916)")
