1) ALttP has a discord where you can talk to plenty of people far more educated with ALttP in a TAS environment than I am... and here's the invite: https://discord.gg/Jx5fuUp
2) SuperSKUJ has done tons of investigation into glitches and their implications, much of it is documented on his youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXlk2kGuRY1DDzrrUQXdfDQ

In the chest game that has the heart piece, there is 1/8 chance of getting it, doesn't matter if it is the first or second box.
One thing that I immediately saw as a possible improvement. In Palace of Darkness, when you bomb the floor to get to the Big Key: If you kill yourself on the same frame as you fall down the hole, Link will spawn north of the hole, and you can just move south to fall down the hole again. The door will be open, and so you skip the first small key. I believe you can see applications of this in the newest 100% glitched speedrun by xReleased.
Maybe it is also faster to Hover to get to the big chest, instead of using a bomb. You can clip the railing while hovering and get to the platform.
