Ganonless 1.2 troubles

[nighthawkraven18]

Hey guys, Nighthawk here. I recently started running ganonless on the wiivc, which is 1.2. I watched snipinG117's video of the fastest time and copied the route exactly. after getting quickdraw bottle on b and getting cojiro, i buy a stick and nuts and head to DC. I'm then supposed to die to skip the cutscene and respawn with a stick on b. But when i try it, i always respawn with a blank b button, and occasionally the master sword is missing. If i redo quickdraw and then die, i will usually have a stick on b, but it wastes like 4 minutes. I've searched around for a solution, but cant seem to figure it out. If anyone knows why this happens or how i can prevent it, i would greatly appreciate it.

If you have ever equipped a sword manually on that file, you will get a stick on B when you die with Bottle B. If you have not, you will get blank B. Sniping equips the master sword at 16:20 to solve this problem.
