Using fast sword combos finishing with a stab is several seconds faster than regular walking when done well. Left-Right-Up-Up is the traditional fast combo, and works fine, but I tend to prefer Left-Right-Right-Up.
While slashing, be careful to not clank against the walls, and hope that the torchslug at the end is far away.

Using the double damage from Fairys tears or rare chu jelly, its possible to skip the third cycle of Argoroks second phase.
Used svas method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL2Nvn9sepA
This is very slightly different on Wii since to drink the jelly or tears you need to have the bottle on B, and so then need to equip clawshot back to B either with the d-pad equips or pause menu, before clawshotting. Drinking the jelly/tears doesnt make link put away the clawshots however, so you dont have to go through the animation of pulling out clawshot, which would waste a handful of frames making the 2-cycle much harder.
In this clip I timed flipping clawshots back to B with the d-pad, and pressed B immediately after to clawshot. This can be very quick, so I want to say ideally Wii would only lose 1 frame to gamecube, but in reality itd be a few frames to timing the equip, then a couple more to clawshotting. This makes the 2-cycle marginally more difficult on Wii than gamecube (not that Ive ever done it on gamecube).
I had the most success pause buffering to when Argorok just begins to shoot the flame.

Mainly made this video so if anyone else tries to learn it on Wii they dont have to mirror a gamecube video and get confused with which pillar to go to etc.")
