Looked into the save file and this is the explanation I came up with when it comes to Bottle Duping over blank buttons.
When you use Shield Swipe Bottle Dupe to dupe over a blank button it dupes properly. However, since the item slot linked to the button you duped over still is value FF (blank), the games inventory system will still treat it as a blank button.
As a result, you won't see the bottle (the button will still be displayed as if it was empty), and as soon as the game reads the inventory grid again the slot will be disabled.
An interesting side-effect however is that by doing this, you can change the item linked to item slot FF (Blank). You can see which item you've written onto FF by highlighting a blank slot in the inventory menu. To do this, simply select an item you can't equip, then use the touch screen to attempt to move the item to a blank I, X, Y, II slot twice fast. The empty slot should be highlighted, and you'll see a transparent icon of the item linked to slot FF.
________________
A glitch I found over a year ago, I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it.
When using shield swipe to bottle dupe, normally you'd use it to dupe over I, X, Y, II or B.
But if you use the Ocarina, the game will bottle dupe over Deku Sticks.
1.Get Empty Bottle in hand
2.Use Ocarina
3.Shield Swipe to catch something
Deku Sticks will be overwritten. This allows you to bottle dupe over Deku Sticks as adult link.
________________
Using B item while riding a horse or fishing:
1. Save to make link put away any item that he may be holding in his hand.
2. Save again, but this time, mash the B button while resuming the game.
3. You will use your B item
Link will put away the item instantly, just like with RI. (this is because he changes back to bow/fishing rod)
This makes it possible to escape the fishing pond with FW/Bombs on B and activate Remote Control Epona using a cutscene item on B.
________________
Some more archery oddities:
If you use a bomb to "escape" the archery game and then use up all the arrows by L-Targeting, the bottom screen will return to it's normal state, but everything else stays in the archery game state.
In other words, you can use the start button, open the gear/map/items screen and go into first person mode, but nothing happens when you attempt to use iron/hover boots.
You can't speak with the owner, but when you finish reading the sign, the archery game will end.
________________
If you escape the horseback archery, the conversation that takes place after it will be stored, even after entering another scene. Going there as a child when it's stored does nothing. (It may have been removed somewhere along the lines)
________________
How Time Travel works:
First time you become adult, you'll set 3 flags from what I can tell. I assume they're for the various cutscenes that play, because it turns out none of the flag actually affect your gear screen.
This is how it works:
Every time you time travel:
-If you had a shield equipped previously, but you no have it, it will be unequipped.
-If you had a tunic/boots equipped previously, but you no longer own it, it will equip Kokiri Tunic/Kokiri Boots.
-The game will look at the I,X,Y,II buttons for an item with a value of 20 or higher (20 is the lowest value of a bottle), if it finds one, it'll look 4 bytes ahead to see which item slot the button is attached too, and update the button value to that of the item attached to the item slot. Since the B button doesn't have it's own item slot byte, it'll end up on the II button value instead, and use that as the item slot reference, allowing you to choose where to point it too.
If child link didn't automatically equip Master Sword & Kokiri Sword during time travel, BA would work on child link as well.
When you turn into an adult:
-Child Link will equip Master Sword
-Adult Link will get Master Sword
When you turn into an adult, and adult links B button is set to 0xFF/255 (Empty Button/Blank):
-Equip Kokiri Tunic
-Equip Kokiri Boots
-Equip Hylian Shield (if you have it)
-Equip Master Sword
When you turn into a child:
-Equip Kokiri Sword
These seem to be all that happens during time travel.
________________
Biggoron Sword / Giant's Knife:
In OoT3D, this item is treated slightly different, so the RBA effects won't be identical to that of OoT64.
bit 0x4 at address 0xB6 (Gerudo Mask RBA)
This bitflag decides if you have a sword in the 3rd sword slot.
bit 0x8 at address 0xB6 (Gerudo Mask RBA)
This bitflag decides if the Giant's Knife is broken. This bitflag is only visual and changes the appearence in the Gear Screen and B Button.
The Giant's Knife (Broken) will only be displayed in the gear screen if the Giant's Knife bitflag is set.
address 0x4A
This is the Giant's Knife counter and decides how many hits you have left before the knife breaks. This counter is what decides if the knife is broken or not when you use it.
If this counter is set to 0, but the Giant's Knife broken flag isn't set, you'll have the regular Giant's Knife, but it'll act as Giant's Knife (Broken).
bit 0x1 at address 0x51
This bitflag decides if the Giant's Knife is a Biggoron Sword.
________________
Deku Stick on B without overstuffing or NG+: (This is the fastest Ingo horse riding state method I've found that works on a file which haven't equipped a sword)
Pay Ingo to ride horses.
RI FW out of lon lon ranch. (You will stay in the Ingo horse riding state, don't worry about the timer, nothing happens when it runs out)
Become child.
Play bombchu bowling or shooting gallery and exit to get chu/sling on B. (Since you're in the Ingo horse riding state, the game won't replace chu/sling/bow on B)
Go to fishing pond & borrow rod. (because of the Ingo horse riding state, you'll still have the chu/sling stored on B, and the only way to push them to Temp B in this state is to borrow the fishing rod)
Save & Quit.
Load file.
You'll have chu/slingshot on B, but when you load the file, the game will instantly replace it with Temp B, which is Deku Stick.
________________
Whenever you enter the Fishing Pond with Fishing Rod on B, the game will put Temp B on your B Button. This is why we can enter the pond after stealing rod to receive the deku stick.
________________
As we all know, if you haven't equipped a sword, whenever you save, die, etc. with an item that isn't a sword on B, the B button will become blank instead of giving you the Temp B.
And you're also able to perform the Lon Lon Stick glitch if you haven't equipped a sword.
Well, there's a way to get all these effects on a file that have equipped a sword.
Go to Ganon and lose Master Sword to empty the B button.
Save & Quit.
Load the file again.
The flag which stores that you haven't equipped a sword is now set again, so you're able to perform lon lon stick, and you'll get all the other B button effects that goes with it.
