setup:
0) target the fence in the corner facing towards the elevator
1) sidehop right - neutral roll - let go of Z and hold ESS up
2) move into the corner, backflip, climb up the ledge
3) sidehop left - neutral roll
4) hold Z when Link is hanging off the ledge, press A to let go of the ledge
5) sidehop right, backwalk off the ledge, hold down until you reach the loading zone
When you're guessing the angle, turn around and proceed with step 2).
The angle setup might seem inconsistent for you if you don't let go of Z/start holding up (can also be slightly more than ESS) early enough. It shouldn't take long to get used to it but most people prefer the C-up/Hookshot alignment to get the angle which can be found here: imgur.com/9FVBZ0B (sorry for the confusing image, the upper text is unrelated to the detailed lower section)
I haven't discovered this method for the BK skip, it just deserves more attention because people tend to not get the Hookshot interruption method first try and fniure's faster setup isn't well-known, either.
Edit: Sniping already uploaded this version of the BK skip (youtube.com/watch?v=0vr3R-H0GMA) which kind of obsoletes my video. I'll keep it listed because of the angle alignment but credits go to him.
Phantom Ganon's hitbox isn't active before the fight is started, i.e. weirdshotting can't be used to damage him.

inputs (left setup):
0) target the Western pillar on the Northern side (the pillar in the East also works for this setup)
1) jumpslash against the wall and let Link stand up, put away the sword, sidehop left
2) turn right, sidehop left - neutral roll, backflip - draw the sword
3) jumpslash and press C-up to talk to Navi, cancel the text and swim to the loading zone (hold roughly left)
inputs (right setup):
0) target the Eastern pillar on the Northern side, turn around
1) jumpslash and shield to stay in place or execute the second jumpslash quickly to avoid Link standing back up, let Link get up on the second jumpslash
2) sidehop left, backflip twice, turn left
3) jumpslash and press C-up to talk to Navi, cancel the text and swim to the loading zone (hold roughly left)
The left strat is roughly 0.5 seconds faster on average but may be a bit more difficult to execute or remember. Instead of the backflip - draw the sword part in step 2), you can also perform a quickdraw jumpslash which saves roughly another 0.5 seconds.
I didnt come up with the strat on the right. The left strat doesnt work on PAL.")
