does deku stick remain in Link's hand when jumpslashing ghoma on N64?
It might have happened to me once on a casual playthrough on the console version. So yeah.
Also the sword -> stick -> sword while backwalking does work, and if players have decent execution, you could skip the owl.
Edit:
The hidden archery minigame door in Child's Kakariko Village is still there.
Edit 2:
Bottle Switching to replace (useless) item does not work. If you touch the items tab there is a small frame window where you can use an item before the menu pops up but here is the problem:
Items Tab touched and use bottle swing before menu = Item menu ignored
Bottle swing followed by touch Items Tab = Item menu ignored (the touch screen doesn't animate when touching a tab during a bottle swing).
