Hang in there! At the very least, your prior experience will be of benefit as you redo it.
I will. I will probably keep the inputs for the beginning though up until where Coal Mine starts and move on from there. At least that is the plan for now. Maybe it will change once I get to actually work on this again.
Other than that, the new route saves well over 1h now. Can't wait to actually get to those parts in the TAS and see how they work out!

Here is also a video showing off the progress I made but never published which is obsolete now.
Technically it goes a bit further but I loaded the wrong file. But there isn't anything significant missing so this will do.

Surprise!
I've kept working on this and found a lot of motivation this year to redo the TAS up until getting the spring bean including all of the new strats and even found some new ones along the way.
Here some stats:
- this is 32069 frames faster than my previous WIP
- 843 frames of those are from improvements over the old WIP
- 5773 frames are from skipping the first part of Reptile's Lair due to being able to use a spare key here now
- 25716 frames are from skipping Coal mine
If you care, here is a spreadsheet showing where I saved time and how much: (it is not very descriptive as it was mostly just for myself)

Due to using a much newer version of Bizhawk compared to my previous WIP this new WIP loses a lot of frames here and there due to loading and longer item jingles when getting key items.
With being at Nava's this TAS is about 2/3 done.
Let's hope my motivation pushes me through the last third and finally finish what I have started almost 9 years ago!
