Considering how magic pots work (giving you magic even if you don't have the meter unlocked), might it be faster to beat the whole game without using magic meter?

The only time loss I can think of is that you have to do Deku Tree later, since you can't clip through the Magic Gate without a previously defused bob-omb.

If somebody is aware of this and has already timed it, let me know before I take the time doing it myself lol.

For the last few weeks I've been practicing All Missions, only to find out yesterday that because of the 1.2.0 update, most of the relevant glitches are near impossible or just patched out.

I've reinstalled the game in an attempt to start running it using 1.0.0, but the game refuses to start unless it's updated. I've tried multiple methods for disabling update prompts, such as editing DNS or using recovery mode, but with every method the game requires to be updated before starting.

Am I just stuck with 1.2.0, or is there something I'm missing?
