Best run I got that day. I also learned the TAS route (shoutouts to Nintendo for not giving us Japanese 1.0, because otherwise the swim route is extremely easy) but only got a 2:26 with one rewind due to one of many softlocks of this route, so that run didn't count unfortunately. Maybe I'll just get a 2:52 or something with this route or try to get at least one run done with the TAS route, who knows.

Mod Note: Retimed to 2:53.983
