Using an extremely precise moonboots bomb boost, it's possible to skip turning the bridge without the use of the boomerang.

Shooting the bokoblin at the start removes the cutscene trigger when first landing on the bridge.

There are two elements to the skip itself:
First, jumpstrike moonboots onto the fence. This has two working moonboots frames. First frame (shown in the first clip) is extremely lenient on position and angle due to the extreme height you get from this moonboots frame.
Second frame can also work (shown in the second clip) however requires much more precision in position and angle, as the height gain isn't as significant.
Mash B for a jumpslash as you land, as if you slip off after landing a jumpslash will put you right back onto the fence.

Second, the jumpstrike moonboots bomb boost.
- Staying in line with the fence, place a bomb at the back of the bridge, allowing it to push you back while placing it. Staying in line with the fence is important, as the beams at the edge of the platform you aim to land on extend slightly further than the rest of the platform, making this possible.
- Put on iron boots, backhop for positioning, then charge jumpstrike.
- One the 6th bomb flash, release jumpstrike, and force unequip boots for moonboots.
The jumpstrike release is frame perfect, and unfortunately the exact bomb frame to release is very difficult to distinguish from neighbouring frames, as it's around the brightest part of the bomb flash. Note that in both clips I buffer the release with the item wheel, so unbuffered would require releasing jumpstrike a few frames earlier than the bomb frame shown when paused, to account for the input delay.
The moonboots is also frame perfect, on the first moonboots jumpstrike frame, as this is the only frame that gives height to completely clear the sides of the bridge.

If all is done correctly, you'll be boosted forward and barely land on the wooden beam. A frame too early or late and you'll get a bomb boost forward but not land on the beam. Earlier or later and you can avoid being hit by the bomb completely.
