I got it ~30 seconds faster, even with a lot of wasted time. Everything after the point where the video ends remains the same.
0:55 can't grab ledges; have to go into two bulbs
1:07 this door can be clipped through on the left, but there is no loading zone behind it
1:40 I've gotten close to skipping the two bulbs in this room, but couldn't get sticks on top platform by walking up a wall on far left of room. Haven't tested if just getting nut is faster for eye than using sticks.
2:26 you can only walk up the very right of this structure, so I lined up my grapple so that Link lands pretty much right on it
2:40 this trick is cool as shit
2:50 Link's head can partially clip into this platform's bottom, but don't rely on this; going too high will crush Link and end storage
3:00 there are several options for this room, and the one shown in this isn't actually the fastest, but I figured it was the best when it comes to speed/risk. Some alternatives include opening the chest to end storage and Leafing around the left side of the room like in the Tuner runs (uses less magic than this route), another is to simply jump down to the door below. The fastest method is to Leaf through the middle, and rely on getting hit by a nut at the end to knock you onto the platform (requires no leaf-pumping).
3:04 there seem to be two sets of movement patterns for these nuts, there's one where the nut on the far right sways left to right and then there's this one. Either way, the timing for when Link should jump is when the nut is at its right-most position.
3:05-3:12 note how much magic is used in doing this. If you fear you don't have the magic required, use one of the methods above.
Basic route by Seronei with contributions by Abahbob and myself to the optimizations.
