Ocarina of Time Speedrun Question
Can anyone explain the reason to buy the shield and get the sword at the beginning? Since you can skip it, I don't know why speedrunner's aren't doing it.

Both are necessary for a series of glitches that allow for item manips and a wrong warp that goes from Gohma to Ganon.
Sword and Shield are not required for the Ghoma wrong warp. All that’s required is a bottle with something re-catchable inside it.
Pre GIM, the sword and shield were skipped. Look at an 18:xx run from Jodenstone or Narcissa (if you can still find it) to see what a run was like with just a deku stick. That route is still the route for low% for what it’s worth.
