4th place

I was at the Silver Gauntlet chest, ready to hover to the Mirror Shield chest at 1:56:00 into the race. Then I spent an hour and ten minutes trying to hover to it in any way possible. I tried hovering from inside, outside, chus, bombs. No dice. I am usually pretty good at hovering although I haven't done it as a child in a while... I can do it as an adult just fine (although people were saying it's exactly the same as adult/child). So confusing and disappointing for me.

Everyone else took a much safer route than trying to hover from the Silver Gauntlets chest over to the Mirror Shield Chest. Instead of doing that, they just tried getting to the other staircase to the adult side in the main room by getting a key in the room after the main room (with the sun block and the silver rupees), and backtracking.

You can't hover from SG chest to mirror because of the slippery slopes on the statue.
