Q: Why doesn't this beat ganon?
A: Because you can only wrong warp to ganon's castle once, and we need to savewarp out of the escape to get gold gauntlets, its impossible to both get gold gauntlets and beat ganon. Since this is about getting the highest amount of items possible, gold gauntlets is gotten over beating ganon and getting the master sword from temple of time is used as the end point.
