49:43 by a frame, I think. Still a lot of time to shave off, but I'll save it for the next time I return to the category.

I'm not entirely sure if this is faster than water sword or not. I bounce back and forth on which would be better RTA, but I think Thunder sword has the edge if played properly.

There's probably another minute that could be shaved off of this -- sub 49 should be possible, but I made a lot of silly mistakes and forgot menus. The routing for this had so many small changes while I was playing I had trouble keeping track of them all!

If anyone is watching this and wanting to try any%, I recommend watching the 50:58 run for the water sword route. It may actually be faster, but even if it isn't it's way safer.

The water sword route only really has the danger in the very beginning and you can buy herbs/antidotes for safety. The Thunder sword route has danger up until the thunder sword and you have to watch your money!
