I did a run of this over 3 years ago, but that was obviously before we had Z-sliding and A-sliding, and the poe cutscene skip, so of course I had to redo it to make it even better. The poe cutscene skip happens because the scene is interrupted while it’s playing, by the bottle text. It cannot be triggered by simply pulling out an item that has text (like a trade item) right as it starts, sadly. The cutscene skip saves a lot of time, making it totally worth the time spent doing the bottle stuff. I A-slide all over the place, supersliding is so 2 years ago. Cosmo told me it's possible to 1-cycle Phantom Ganon, but that it requires you to hit the energy ball back to him a billion times first, making it significantly slower. The reason I paused to equip the deku stick was because it allowed me to 2-cycle him. Otherwise, I would've had to have 3-cycled him, which is just no. The items on the buttons at the start of the run cannot be changed. You might think I could skip the pause by having the deku sticks on B, but doing so would mean I couldn't A-slide and Z-slide after cutting the bombchu, because when you have the stick out, he doesn't actually pull up his shield when you press R, which is the crucial part of starting those slides. The run looks really good, I'm proud of it.
