https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H2mTBClB4qRdBKSX4NpnqkpKuIEQhKMMXkId9YOqV04

Note that all variations that enter Parapa Cave on the specified frames should be identical for all runs through "Bubble Skip Pattern" column.  How a runner stands during that encounter affects all subsequent patterns/movements.  The notes in the spreadsheet detail the unique choices for reverse bubble skip showcased in the video "Tutorial - Reverse Bubble Skip (part 5) - Gameplay from Start, 10 variations" https://www.speedrun.com/zelda_ii_the_adventure_of_link/guide/3bozf

Video - showcasing overworld path has no effect on RNG

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp4yOd4OHsM

Shows 6 different overworld walks out of Magic Cave to Parapa Cave, through P1 entry with reverse bubble skip.  Different walks exiting Magic Cave on the same frame produces the same spawn patterns exactly.

Different overworld walks *DOES* effect lag, but RNG does not advance during lag frames so it only matters for RTA timer, it doesn't affect in-game elements.
