1) pull out a bombchu, drop it at the 10th red flash (R)
2) empty bottle contents one frame later (C-button for bottle)
3) quickdraw the bottle (R + C-button for bottle; pausing during the first two frames after the cutscene is recommended)
4) target when Link is crouching (Z + R)
5) draw the sword on the frame Link's shield is slightly tilted to the right (B)
6) shieldswipe bottle contents (Z + R, add C-button for bottle, release R in catch range)
prettybigjoe already uploaded this setup on NTSC and it's completely identical in terms of inputs to my recording on PAL so props to him. Original video: youtu.be/msSq7-3DwpQ

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.")
