As for the title, I'm referring to the final boss in Ocarina of Time. Ganon, beast form, seemed quite difficult to beat at first. I initially fought him by shooting light arrows into his face to stun him. Once stunned, I would run behind him and jump slash his tail with the biggoron sword. The first part was relatively easy, but the second part seemed... impossibly long! I repeated my strategy (after refilling my magic with green pots or using my blue potion), but it was taking WAYYY too long. I must have jumped slash him about 16 times, but he keeps standing back up! After losing concentration, I died, and having no fairy on me, meant it was a game over. After repeating this twice (with, of course, two failures), I got fed up with Zelda and decided to take a break.
After my brother got home, I asked him his strategy in beating Ganon.
He told me, that instead of using up magic for light arrows, I could roll between his legs and strike him that way. Also, when I got to the second part, I should use the Master Sword (which you retrieve after whacking him hard enough in the first section) instead of my super powerful Biggoron.
Long story short, I tried what my brother suggested...
And kicked Ganon's butt in a quarter of the time I was spending on my first two trials...
It made the battle difficult from a 10 to like a 3...
I only got hit once because I rolled into his leg, instead of between his legs (which is quite easy despite my initial skepticism).
I felt like face palming myself for not being able to figure it out. But I can finally say that I finished a classic! I was extremely irritated when I was unable to defeat the final boss, but I can now say that I am extremely glad that I was. =)
