NEW Twilight Princess 100% TAS WIP 9

Here is another work in progress for the new Twilight Princess 100% TAS. This was a relatively tedious section because of Epona movement, her dash spacing can be a pain to optimize. There are a couple of differences with this section compared to the previous TAS, one of which is that after Goron Mines, I warp straight to Upper Zora's River and steal a bomb bag from Iza rather than doing the King Bulblin 1 fight, I will be saving that for after Midna's Desperate Hour as it sets time of day to 5:00 pm which is better for ingame time management. This means after stealing Iza's bomb bag, we have access to bomb arrows during the escort sequence, which allows me to blow up the rocks blocking some clawshot targets just past the Bridge of Hylia. The escort sequence is more of an autoscroller due to how slow the wagon moves, but unlike the first TAS, I actually don't have much time to play around since I have to get both the Heart Piece and the 100 rupee chest underneath the wooden bridge. When getting the Zora Armor, I came up with yet another use for Universal Map Delay. By warping on the frame between the cutscene ending and Midna beginning to talk to Link, I can skip the Midna text, saving just over 3 seconds. The Eldin collection section was pretty much the same with some minor optimizations, such as throwing the boomerang at Epona to make her face the direction I want her to move, and using bomb arrows on the shadow beasts, saving 1 frame over spin attacking them. For Morpheel phase 1, I managed to save time by hitting the eye while it was clipped inside the mouth, allowing the eye to swim back to Morpheel faster and start the second phase earlier. For Morpheel phase 2, its swimming pattern after the third cycle is random, which can affect the length of the death cutscene. I managed to get Morpheel to swim as close to the side of the room where it bonks on the wall, saving just over 2 seconds on the cutscene compared to the first TAS.
