setup:
0) get rid of the Shaboms (bubbles) and the left Octorok
1) get ISG, target the centre of the door or left the centre
2) backflip, sidehop left - neutral roll - retarget
3) sidehop left 7 times, turn around to trigger the Octorok
4) turn around again, backflip while holding R
5) do 3 more backflips (pay attention to the audio cue and adjust the timing based on the distance between Link and the Octorok)
6) target the switch, release the target and start holding down so Link faces towards the entrance (you can tap down multiple times if you miss the timing but you still need to be quick enough to shield the next projectile)
7) sidehop hover left once or twice depending on your position and angle
8) do two more backflip hovers and backflip into the switch

demonstration: 0:00 - 0:44
details: 0:45 - 2:04
adjustment explanation: 2:05 - 3:20

Don't target the Octorok during the hover since that will mess up your angle. You want to do the sidehop/backflip inputs on the frame before Link's shield would get hit. If you do it one frame earlier, you'll get more distance but also lose height in the backflip hovers (it should still work).
Doing height hovers all the way won't put you into targeting range of the switch after 4 hovers, going for maximum distance hovers will greatly reduce the time you have to turn around and also mess up the angle. With a little experience, you can still get a successful hover by adjusting properly.
