0) target the Western corner (close to Kokiri Forest) facing away from the bridge
1) sidehop left - sideroll, turn around
2) hold up and Z to jump off the ledge and climb up on the tree (keep holding Z throughout)
3) roll once to clip up due to weird collision
4) force the in-place ESS animation (hold ESS right and target immediately afterwards; it doesn't matter if Link turns for one frame, either)
5) buffer down-right for one frame, then up and A for the forward sidehop on the next frame
6) jumpslash in midair to clip onto the fence
The jumpslash is quite precise but the visual cue depends on the facing angle. There's definitely a consistent way of buffering it as well.

This is an alternative strat for the second small key if people dont like chu weirdshots or do bufferless bingos.
The backflip position for the cutscene dive isnt important at all. I find it easier to adjust from a somewhat central spot, though.
Its not worth getting Hover Boots for this goal alone but it has synergy with it (roughly 30-60 seconds depending on whether you raise the water level or damage boost to the door).
Its also faster to slash a chu at the bombable wall after lowering the water level than dropping it at the 4th red flash in front of the door but I wanted to show the Iron Boots backup strat if you clip back in bounds on accident.")
