I would like to learn AD, but the only routes I've found are for either 1.0 or vc-only. Any help would be much appreciated.

Well the thing is its only really worth it to play on n64 if you're using 1.0. This is because of a 1.0 exclusive trick in bottom of the well. If all you have is 1.2 then you'll have to just use the vc route on n64

The vc/only route is not vc only. It can be done on any 1.1/1.2 version.
