It's possible to skip the mirror shield and it's on the verge of being RTA viable. Using a glitch known as actor unloading, you can unload cutscenes and in particular you can skip the cutscene before the ganondorf fight, which skips the mirror shield. The problem with this is the actor unloading setup with is a huge pain with bombs only (you have to use a glitch we call hyxost invisible bombs), and is extremely inconsistent. Making a route with this is a big commitment, and the run wouldn't be easy.

With more actor unloading, a low% TAS can skip the deku leaf and the magic meter by unloading the hyrule barrier, hovering into Ganon's Tower, unloading the trial door, unloading the phantom ganon wall (particularly hard to setup), and performing puppet ganon skip with only bombs and wind waker. The latter skip has no human viable method.

Bombs help skipping other items too much to be skipped in low% (it's possible to beat the game without bombs, but you have to commit to many more items instead), and the wind waker is needed for puppet ganon skip without puppet ganon in the room in a TAS.
