Going to continue with the improvements now:
Dungeon 3. When you slash the second crystal, don't destroy it from below. Instead you shall take it on your way back from the room after taking the key. From Down-Right.
I'm playing the harp to kill the bunnies because that's a safe method. But I guess it's faster using bombs instead. Because you'll need the bombs later too, and then you don't need to switch items again.
You can kill the moldorm using only one bomb.
And don't care to kill the statue with a bomb after bombing the switch, that was just stupid.
You'll need to get some bombrefills. There are two places to get them. In the bushes where I get them in the movie. Or els just before the room with the four statues you need to kill. I'm not sure which way is the fastest one.
After taking the seed shooter. I'm not 100% I take the fastest way. I think it is faster to go back inside the flying tiles room. I did two timings on this. First, the tile room was slower, and next it was faster. Be sure to check both.
The mole can be killed in one cycle. Sometimes he is stupid enough to stay up very long. This only happned once for me, while I recorded a speedrun.
No tests have been made if it is faster to take the seedupgrade or not. But I will be able to carry more pegasus seeds, so I guess it is faster...
Dungeon 4. Faster way to push the colored block at start.
On the miniboss, you can make the sword hit him at once at start.
Be sure to go back to the pegasus seed tree to refill as often as possible.
My way to push the colored blocks in dungeon 5 to get the key is also sucky. Here is a movie of the way you shall do that on.

Made by E_alert from SDA.
My last round on the boss sucks. Don't really know the fastest way yet.
You shall fail the last 2 rounds at the dance. It is faster then dancing those too.
You can switch the Vine Seed in a faster way as well. It only require two switches.
When playing the minigame using the sword to slash the wall so it hit those blue "boxes". Try to get a lot of points at start, and then do some misses. So you still get the points you need, but in a faster way. Also try to manipulate the ball to go as fast as possible if possible=).
Dungeon 6. When getting the first key. Use you scent seeds to make the enemies walk down the hole instead of jumping to them and kill them. I think this is faster.
The boss sucks... You shall be able to take it much faster using both the sword and the seed shooter at the same time. I and e_alert have been talking quite a lot about this. But did come up with a solution.
You don't have to be so stupid as me to go and talk to the Great Fairy Octorok before talking to the king. When you have revived the fairy you shall change time at once. This will make you closer to the cliff so you can jump down into the water. And you will also be in the same time to talk with the king.
I have been trying many different routes for dungeon 7... And I'm sure it could be improved, but this is the fastest way I found out.
Be sure to switch to the feather before you actually kill the miniboss. To avoid waiting in the entrance of the room. I often forgot this... Just wanted to mention it even if you see it in the movie:).
At the boss. When he is attacking you, be as close to him as you can. Because he wont go so far then.
I think there is a way to skip a key in dungeon 8. Or at least take a shortcut. in the room with the blue skeletons, one gives you a key. If you are able to manipulate one of them to be on the other side of the blue "spike" things... you won't need to go around as much in the dungeon.
Be sure to have enough ember seeds in this dungeon... I took a long detour to get more, which sucked.
Here is another nice trick made by e_alert.

I guess you know this, but I didn't :D. It is always the same ladder that the fire goes to. So you don't need to wait for it.
Be sure to run whenever you can in the end.
Manipulate the boss so it only takes the bee and turtle form so you can use your sword.
I think this is all! Thanks to Quijo, e_alert and the people in SDA that helped me point out my improvements in the run.
Good luck with your!
EDIT: I would like to see your WIP's a little earlier than after 20 minutes. I know a lot of the game and could probably found possible improvements. I sadly haven't found any bugs or sequence breaks in the game. And L+R glitches aren't working either, that sucks :D. Let's see who will finish the run first. My speedrun, or you TAS:). I have just recorded up to the end of dungeon 3.
