The whole speedrunning in OoT is basically based around 2 tricks

1. The infinite sword, which basically makes your sword attack anything it touches, all the time. The way you do it is, find a sign/enemy crouch (if enemy hold z to target) and attack it, about half way through your animation you hit A so it cancels the attack animation but the dialogue for the sign or information from nami comes up, after you've past through the dialogue your sword is out forever and will have a unique glow and cut anything it touches (this is mainly used for bosses/mini bosses).


2. Bombchu/bomb hoverslide/flip, to do this you activate infinite sword glitch, go to an edge where link can backflip off and aim at a wall and put down a bomb, just before it explode you roll into it and and backflip back, it will make you land in the air and can be used to get hover boots/shadow temple early and a bunch of other stuff, to do it with bombchu's pull out backflip first with it pulled out, let the Arrow/Seed fly, then pull out a bombchu and make Link raise his shield. To hover slide, put down the bomb crouch with your shield and roll just as it explodes and pull out your shield when rolling to slide across the map.

these are the 2 main and most important to master tricks as they save hours in the game, the other glitches are straight forward and can be learned from watching cosmo, just watch him do a run and follow his route, he obviously doesn't show most of the tricks but i gave the two hardest to do by eye to you. The rest you can copy and are straight forward.
