Skyward Sword HD - 100% Eldin OoB w/ Early Vent Cycle to 4th Earth Temple Key Piece - Video

In Skyward Sword HD 100%—which requires collecting the goddess cubes—there's a trick involving luring the far-right Bokoblin in the huts to damage boost out of bounds.

By performing a jump slash down the slopes at a specific angle and position and utilizing precise movements, you can barely reach the vents leading to the key piece on time before the next cycle. This trick saves ~28 seconds with precise execution and favorable RNG over running through the hot cave. The early vent cycle saves an extra ~8 seconds, factoring in the setup time, compared to waiting for the vents. Waiting for an additional vent cycle would only save ~20 seconds over utilizing the traditional route.

Notes:
Unfortunately, this is seemingly not viable in the other categories.
This video is spliced because I couldn't get both good RNG and a good-looking trick. Accounting for that, it probably only saves ~26 seconds on average.
Optimally (not shown on the video), when jump-slashing the cube, you would land on the slope and start running from there, but that is too risky to go for. The risk is that you slide down the slope instead of running back up. That saves about half a second.
