There are now 2 dead end fixes for original early master sword on Wii. The 1st dead end fix uses map glitch to climb Snowpeak Mountain and get ooccoo to steal Iza's bomb bag. The 1st dead end fix works for both Gamecube and older Wii versions. Here's a video

The new dead end fix is Wii exclusive and involves using Midna dive to go out of bounds and get into Lakebed Temple without Zora armor or water bombs. Here's a video.

After entering Lakebed, save the game. This will automatically put you past the water tunnel. After getting past the 2nd room, get ooccoo. Then warp out sometime before fighting Deku Toad. Clear Lanayru twilight, steal Iza's bomb bag, replace bombs with a water bomb treasure chest in Lakebed, blow up underwater rock, kill Deku Toad, etc.
If Midna dive works on newer versions of Twilight Princess, then the game can be completed with early master sword where map glitch doesn't work. You'll need the fishing rod in newer versions.
This can obviously be done much faster than what is shown in this video. You just have to lure the helmasaur over to the ledge with gale boomerang. The helmasaur will not fall off the ledge if you get it into the right position. Getting the helmasaur into the exact position needed to get onto the platform isn't exactly easy to do quickly, but should get easier with practice. Afterwards, turn into a wolf and jump onto the next ledge. You'll barely make it if you positioned wolf Link the correct way.
Doing this skips the fishing rod, which also means skipping the bombfish grotto. As of now, fishing rod is still needed on the Gamecube version with early master sword.
Unfortunately, for single segment purposes this won't work because you'd drown in the 1st room of Lakebed.
you have to get the master sword to turn into a wolf it wouldn't work

TheBlueSoup, after sick Midna is cured, you just go back to Lake Hylia, get Auru's memo, go to the desert. No need to go back to Sacred Grove.
