13% is the lowest amount of items in which a TAS can beat the game via defeating all major bosses while staying in-bounds.

Sniq authored the currently published TAS for the category, obsoleting the previous two Low% branches, which used the item sets from 14% Ice and 14% Speed.

It is possible that a human could theoretically complete a 13% run someday, but for now 14% is the in-bounds limit for humans running Low%.

Theoretical Human Categories

The most likely candidate for human-completable 13% categories is based on the 14% Chargelice category that uses Draygon ammo underflow. With proper positioning and drop luck, it's possible to Crystal Flash at Draygon with a maximum Power Bomb count of only 10, as seen with the obsoleted Any% TAS that used underflow.

The TAS branch of 13% cannot be completed on console, given that suitless Maridia with out the use of Left+Right requires either Ice Beam, Gravity Suit, or Hi-Jump Boots.
