Another Question about TP (I'm speedrunning this time)

[mikecamper]

I'm asking a little bit late because I've already completed the speedrun (for which my goal was a sub-10 hour run which I succeeded with only 7 minutes to spare ... whew!)

But in case I ever try to beat my record in the future,  what I wanna know is this.....

Every time I get to the Ilia's Memory segment,  when it comes time to go into the field south of Castle Town to fight the beasts that stole the wooden statue,  I have to wait several minutes for night to fall.  I always reach this part of the game in broad afternoon daylight.   At least that allows me to take a second to open both of the 100 rupee chests in that section to collect money to have my canon repaired.  But even after that I still have to wait a bit for nighttime. 

Anyone know any clever tricks to work around that?

Pretty stupid answer, but stay out of castle town. Time doesn't move there...

Pretty stupid answer, indeed.   Made even more so by the fact that I wasn't even in Castle Town.  I was in the field south of Castle Town where time DOES pass.   (Incidentally, though, time still passes inside of Castle town, albeit not as quickly.)
