How much time does the new route save?

I always practiced with the old route which was Bombs, Magnesis, Cryonis, and then Stasis. I have not followed this community as far as the new route as I am bad at tree launches and stuff. I preferred the old route. SO how much does this save? I heard that going to Magnesis first was faster so if you do it the normie route which is Magnet, Bomb, Cryo, and then Stasis, would that save time? Basically, I just want to know if it worth switching to the new route for GP instead of practicing the old one.

The general consensus is that it only saves around 7 seconds, but others have different estimates from 5 seconds to 20 seconds. Considering my 2nd place on the leaderboard uses old route, and I'm sure you can get sub 22 with it, it's really not much slower at all.

Basically a plateau routes guide:

-Magnesis Cryonis Stasis Bombs saves like 10 or so seconds and is the absolute fastest route if you do all the launch strats.

Otherwise:

-Magnesis Bombs Cryonis Stasis is the fastest route otherwise. -Bombs Magnesis Cryonis Stasis is the fastest route if you’re doing something else at Magnesis such as getting the Fire and/or Ice arrow chests.

So basically the normie route Magnet, Bomb, Cryo, and Stasis is easy and fast? And there are fire arrows in Magnet shrine?!

Yes it is fast enough to be viable, that's why most of us still do it. He was referring to the fire and ice arrow chests "behind" the magnesis shrine, in the centre of the mud pond that you can shield jump to.
