I finally tried looking in decomp to answer this, and to me it looks like this is impossible, since "sword" is one entry in the damage table, which makes me think the different swords just use a multiplier.
also I haven't posted this here yet, but I can be asked questions anonymously over at

whoa, this is really cool! i knew full well that a lot of houses slow down Link and prevent him from sidehop/backflipping. but somehow never knew the movement was the same with iron boots. super cool. same with hover boots (they're a little slower than kokiri boots normally)
this is pretty cool. I tested giving her beans in OoT but it didn't do anything
this might be answered in an old interview, but off personal guesses only I'd say no. I think the regular bosses were an afterthought for FD because other than odolwa, they're all awkward to fight as FD
I feel like you mentioned the ceiling for the ikana gossip before, though I know for sure the once-per-cycle part was brought up. seems to be a weird coincidence. didn't know termina field gossips were like that too
lol, the surprising part of this to me is that she just stops on her own and you can talk to her without a mask. I don't think I knew that
Kafei and Link's B button are handled separately, so if Link is cursed, Kafei can still punch like normal. just like goron can still punch regardless of what Link has on B or if he's jinxed
I'm not really sure how to answer/test this. since for example link "has" zora and goron's b button item (kokiri sword), it's just that the form acts differently. I'm also not sure where kafei's B button is in memory, but I would also guess it's "kokiri sword" and would be able to damage enemies outside. would be cool to test though so I might come back to this
sorry it took me so long to get around to this, but yes this works as expected:

this is a pretty cool observation. though I'm not sure of OoT having internal compass directions so I can't verify the part where it's different depending on area. unless you just mean compass directions based on lore with the ingame map
