Copyright -------------------------------{Introduction}---------------------------------- This is a Boss FAQ for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Zelda games usually feature some bosses that are tough to defeat for some folks, so this guide is here to make sure you have all the necessary strategies needed in order to topple these evil denizens of Hyrule. If you have any sort of suggestion, or alternate strategy, to defeat these bosses you're free to contact me with it and you'll be given complete credit for the addition. Hopefully you find everything you're looking for here so that you can come away with a -- ahem -- <I>FLAWLESS VICTORY</I> over these giant beasts. -------------------------------{Version History}------------------------------- Version 1.0 -- Every boss covered with complete strategies for defeating each. All major grammatical errors and spelling mistakes fixed. ----------------------------------{Bosses}------------------------------------- [BS1] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Twilit Parasite -- Diababa | |Temple: Forest Temple | |Difficulty: Easy | |Item: Gale Boomerang | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The first boss of the Forest Temple is essentially one very huge, very nasty Deku Baba -- aptly named Diababa. There are two phases to this boss, as most of Twilight Princess's bosses are, and both are rather simple. PHASE 1 In the first phase, there will be a spider-bomb located on a central platform in between two giant looking Deku Babas. The trick here is to whip out your Gale Boomerang that you got earlier in this dungeon and make it carry the bomb on the central platform into the Deku Babas. You'll want to lock-on to the bomb first, then lock-on to one of the Deku Babas. When you do, the bomb -- thanks to the gusts of wind -- will be smashed right into the Babas face. Do this exact same thing to the other one to initiate the second phase of the boss battle. PHASE 2 In this second phase, the smaller platform where the spider-bomb was is now gone, replaced by the towering giant -- Diababa. The overal method to defeat this boss is nearly the same as what you did before, except now on a much grander scale. There are two key attacks that will really be troublesome for this part -- one is the spraying of a poison purple substance and the other is biting the heck out of you if you get too close. The first is remedied by simply holding up your shield or dodging. The latter is best avoided by simply keeping your distance from Diababa. Something to note is that the distance you can be away from Diababa and still keep the Z-Targeting reticle locked on him. Shortly after it starts, the monkey that you saved earlier in the dungeon -- the white one that was infected with a parasite -- will come swinging into the battle with a bomb in between his feet. What you have to do is, with the Gale Boomerang, lock-on to that bomb, then lock-on to Diababa, and let it rip. It's a bit tricky at first since you have to time it fairly well, but after it connects, Diababa will come crashing down onto the ground. That's when you go to down beating the crap out of the eye with your sword. Keep this up for one or two more times and you'll have beat the Twilit Parasite [BS2] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Twilit Igniter -- Fyrus | |Temple: Goron Mines | |Difficulty: Easy | |Item: Hero's Bow / Iron Boots | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The leader of the Gorons has become corrupt with power -- are you a bad enough dude to save him? This giant inferno is actually fairly easy to defeat, but does bring some pretty vicious attacks to the table that you'll need to look out for. However, unlike previous bosses, there aren't really any phases to to him. Fyus looks like a pretty intimindating figure right before the outset. He's huge, he just broke free of his chains, and just touching him looks like a recipe for death. But the big beast does have a weakness -- the jewel on his head. In order to sent him screaming in pain, you'll need to whip out your Hero's Bow and aim for his head. When you hit him, he'll run around aimlessly, which will allow you to sneak up behind him and grab one of the chains he's dragging behind him. Here you'll need to grab the chain with the A button and then put on your Iron Boots. Link's normal weight alone isn't going to be enough to stop him, so with those on, pull back enough so that there isn't any slack in the chain. Fyrus will look behind at you right before he comes crashing to the ground. When he does, let go of the chain, take off the Iron Boots, and make a made dash to where his head is. Once there, unleash a fury of sword swings on him to make sure this bad dude cools down. There are a few attacks that he has that you'll need to look out for. The first is a giant fire wall that he'll send throughout the entire room. There are certain places depending on his position that are "safe" and won't let you get hit, so just keep your distance when you see him charging up and you'll be fine. The second attack is where he'll use the dangling chains around his wrists as weapons. He'll use this when you get close to him and haven't hit his head. Once again, just keep your distance and you should be fine. The key to defeating Fyrus is to use your Bow and aim for the jewel on his head Once you connect with that he'll be confused and disoriented, just aimlessly running around the room. Use this opportunity to grab onto the chain behind him which will trip him up. Note, though, that you'll need to put on your Iron Boots so that you have enough weight placed to trip him up. With a few more tries, the Goron leader should have returned to his senses. [BS3] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Twilit Aquatic -- Morpheel | |Temple: Lakebed Temple | |Difficulty: Painfully easy | |Item: Iron Boots / Zora Armor / Clawshot | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Morpheel is a nice throwback to Morpha in Ocarina of Time, but has a twist to him that is actually quite epic. The boss is split into two phases, one which mirrors the Ocarina of Time battle and one which is entirely new and a bit tougher but nothing crazy. PHASE 1 The first phase of Morpheel basically makes you look for the eye of the beast amongst a sea of tentacles -- really. Since this boss battle is entirely underwater, you'll need to put on your Iron Boots so that you can get a solid aim on eye. When you do see the eye within your distance, whip out your Clawshot and pull him toward you. Hit him once, quickly, with your sword and he'll jump back into the tentacles. There are some precautions to this battle though. If you get too close to the tentacles, Morpheel will grab you and suck the life out of you -- a good half heart at least. He'll also try to send out some obstacles in the form of deadly fish. Keep your distance and watch out for the little fishies that he'll send out and you'll be okay. This also means, however, that your reach with the Clawshot is limited. You'll also want to Z-Target the eye here. It may be a bit tough to pick out the eye amongst everything else going on, but doing so is infinitely easier than trying to manually pick him out. Wait until he gets toward the end of a tentacle and let 'er loose! A few whacks to the eye will be enough to awaken the *real* beast within. PHASE 2 The second phase of Morpheel is a giant eel-esque thing. Those tentacles that you saw before are actually around his mouth like whiskers. You'll want to keep your distance entirely from the front of his mouth, because if you get close to it he'll suck you in and spit you back out. The goal here is similar to Phase 1 -- stab that eye. This phase will really test your ability to swim and to use your Clawshot. Since Morpheel is always moving around -- and he's fast -- you'll need to get as close to him as you can. The eye is located right on the back of his head and you'll need to get within range of your Clawshot so that you can latch onto his back. Once you get onto his back, just start stabbing the Wii Remote like crazy so that you can get in as many hits as possible on his eye before he shakes you off. Keep this up until you damage him so much that he loses his direction and slams into a wall, a signal that you have defeated this crazy sea monster. [BS4] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Twilit Fossil -- Stallord | |Temple: Arbiter's Grounds | |Dificulty: Medium | |Item: Spinner | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stallord is one of the coolest, one of the most fun boss battles in the entire Zelda series. He's also your first true challenge in Twilight Princess. An old criminal long past, he's revived again to do battle with you. He's split into two different phases, and you'll primarily be making use of your new item, the Spinner. PHASE 1 The first phase starts off in this large, circular arena that is filled with sand. Stallord will be in the center of all this sand. Your goal here is to literally break his back. You do this by ramming into his spine at the very center of the room -- it's what is holding him up. Some key things to note are the grooves located all around the top of the arena These grooves will allow you to pick up plenty of speed before jumping off of them to ram into the Stallord's spine. The hazards of this, though, are the two spiked spinners running around the track. They'll try to knock you off and out of your way, but can avoid this by jumping off of the tracks before they reach you. After you hit the Stallord the first time, he'll summon this dead criminals that almost serve to make the arena like a pinball machine. If you hit one of them, you'll go bouncing all over the place. They're cleverly placed too. He'll only stand about three hits from your Spinner before he's down and out, but during that time you can expect him to guard his weakpoint well with those dead criminals. Manuever right around them to the open point and continue smashing away. Once he's down and out, you'll initiate the second phase. PHASE 2 This second phase is a bit harder to handle, but fun and manageable all the same. A giant circular platform will rise as the sand disappears. The head of the Stallord will come to life and you'll start the second phase. Here, you're going to be basically jumping from wall to wall to avoid all sorts of attacks. As you spin along the circular platform's grooves, the Stallord head will make his way into the picture and start shooting these large fireballs at you. To avoid them, you just jump off of the grooves and onto another wall. Keep this up until you catch up to where the Stallord head is and make *another* leap of faith to nail him in the head. This will cause him to fall to the ground where you can then proceed to beat him down with your sword. After you knock him out once, there will be a set of spiked spinners that will run along the central platform just like you. You'll need to jump to the other wall to avoid these. They don't pose much of a problem and you can generally see them coming well in advance, but it gets a bit tricky with having to avoid these and the Stallord's fire breath. Once you've hit the head a few times, the Stallord will finally be defeated and you can claim your prize. [BS5] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Twilit Ice Mass -- Blizzetta | |Temple: Snowpeak Ruins | |Difficulty: Medium | |Item: Ball and Chain | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is something oh so satisfying about beating down a corrupt and possessed Yeti, wouldn't you say? The friendly, yet sickly, Yeti that told you all sorts of different directions for the location of the Twilight Mirror fragment is your opponent here. This can be a bit tough if you head into the battle with little hearts, but knowing her tricks can always help you out! PHASE 1 The first phase in this battle fits well with her "Ice Mass" subtitle that's above her name. During this portion of the battle you'll want to use the Ball and Chain item you found to chip away at the giant piece of ice until it's broken down into almost nothing. Once you start swinging the Ball and Chain, it'll do a good job of blocking you from getting rammed, so if you prefer to just do that, it works. After a few hits from the powerful Ball and Chain, the ice mass should be dwarfed down into but a cube! That'll head into the second part of the battle. PHASE 2 This phase is a bit harder and bit more complicated than the last. There are a few attacks that she'll use that could be troublesome. The first is dropping spiked ice from the ceiling, which come slamming down wherever they lock-on to you running around the ice. The best solution to this is just to mix up your position and keep constantly moving. If you do, the ice spiked won't be able to do you any harm. Once they have all landed it's a good idea -- if you can -- to try to slip in an attack from the Ball and Chain. This will destroy some of the ice spikes and make the number less the next time she uses this technique. This *also* helps for the next part of her attack, which is to entrap you with those very spikes. After you have avoided all of the spikes, she'll lift them out of the ground and they'll hover above you in a circle. They'll come crashing down to trap you so that Blizzetta can slam into the middle and cause some massive damage. The best idea here is to just stop when you see them hovering above and pull out your Ball and Chain. Once they land, let it loose and break some of the ice spikes and quickly roll out of there before Blizzetta crashes down. Once you do *that* you'll have to quickly turn around and use the Ball and Chain on Blizzetta while she's stuck in the ice. She won't be there for long and if you miss her, you'll have to go through these sets of attacks once again until you get another chance. Hit her a few times to chip away at the ice shield sort of thing that's keeping her safe and she'll be brought to her senses in defeat. [BS6] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Twilit Arachnid -- Armogohma | |Temple: Temple of Time | |Difficulty: Medium | |Item: Hero's Bow / Dominion Rod | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyone remember Gohma from Ocarina of Time? This is that...on steroids! Armogohma is basically this giant spider that *really* is asking to be squashed What better way to do that than to take over a massive statue with a ginormous hammer? I can't think of a way better way to do it! Armogohma is basically this giant spider that just needs to be squashed. What better way to do this than to take over a massive statue with a ginormous hammer to kill that nasty thing? I can't think of a better way to do it! PHASE 1 There are technically two parts to this boss, but you're basically going to be in this phase for most of the battle. What you'll notice with the environment around you are four statues in every corner of the room with light shining down in front of them. This part is pretty key because when Armogohma walks on the ceiling over these parts of the light is when you need to take her down. To bring Armogohma to justice what you're going to do need to do is use your Hero's Bow when she is in front of these statues. When you hit her, she'll fall to the ground in front of them on her back. You'll need to whip out the Dominion Rod here and take control of the statue she's in front of. When you do make an attacking motion to drop the hammer onto Armogohma's stomach, creating a devastating blow. After you do this, she will lay some eggs -- typical spider fashion -- and there will be a ton of little baby spiders that you encountered earlier in this dungeon. The best method to taking these annoying critters out is wait until they get really close to you and show them what's up with a Spin Attack. Make sure to take all of these annoyances out so that you don't have to deal with them. Also make sure that you don't get hit by Armogohma's beam of energy, which will take off one heart per hit. You can get an idea of when it's coming by the time it takes her to charge it up. Continue knocking her down in front of statues, taking over statues, and dropping their hammers and Armogohma will be defeated in no time...maybe... PHASE 2 This is perhaps the funniest phase 2 to a boss ever. While she poses no real threat here, there will be tons of little baby spiders carrying around the eye of Armogohma with some silly music playing in the background. Just deliver one solid hit to the eye and the battle will be over. Blasted spiders. [BS7] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Twilit Dragon -- Argorok | |Temple: City in the Sky | |Difficulty: Medium | |Item: Double Clawshot | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Argorok is one of the most unique and epic boss battles in the game. But then again, when *isn't* fighting a dragon during a thunderstorm epic? For the most part, Argorok isn't too challenging, but does provide a really cool experience. PHASE 1 The biggest thing to note about the platform that you're fighting on has four huge walls in each corner -- and all of them can be latched onto with the use of your Clawshot. Right when you take control of Link, you're going to want to immediately use the Clawshot to get onto one of these walls. When you do, the dragon will start looking your direction and charging up his fiery breath. To dodge this attack, use your second Clawshot to get onto another wall. When the dragon is done breathing fire, he'll be too exhausted to defend himself. This is when you're going to want to target his tail, which is golden and can be latched onto with the Clawshot. Aim toward the tail from the wall you're hanging on and let 'er rip! Your weight alone, though, isn't enough to bring this guy down, so equip your Iron Boots while still holding on to bring him crashing into the ground, removing some of his armor. You will have to continue doing this until all of his armor breaks off. When there is very little left, he'll shake the rest of it off and the second phase of this battle will begin. PHASE 2 The second phase is similar to the first in what you're going to need to do. But, instead of going after his tail, you're going to be aiming for his back. The rain will immediately kick in during this portion, too, which will give rise to some Peahats (the things that are floating in the air). Use your Double Clawshots and the walls to get high enough so that you can lock-on to one of these Peahats and get a better shot at Argorok. You'll probably want to use Z-Targeting here when it comes to moving all around the battleground. It's faster and it'll allow you to easily avoid the dragon's attacks. Once your hanging onto one, Argorok will begin his fiery breath attack that circles all around the area. Quick move from one Peahat to another avoiding this until he's worn himself out. When he's tired and recovering his breath, keep going around until you're behind him with a good view of his back. Either manually, or through the use of Z-Targeting, aim at his back with your Clawshot. You'll be latched onto his back where your goal is hit him as much as possible with your sword. Keep doing so until he falls to the ground. After he gets knocked down the first time, repeat the strategy that you just did. He's going to eventually switch up his attack pattern. Instead of going in one direction with his breath of fire, he'll quickly change it on the fly to try to catch you off guard. Just take it easy and switch your direction before he hits you with it. Once again, he'll be out of breath and just asking for you to beat him senseless with your sword. Do all of that once more to defeat Argorok. [BS8] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Usurper King -- Zant | |Temple: Palace of Twilight | |Difficulty: Medium | |Item: All Gained | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You're finally getting toward the end, ready to take out the root of all the evil plaguing Hyrule. Zant is interesting because he is both his own unique boss battle and a combination of all the other boss battles you have faced up until this point. He has various forms and phases, each mimicking an earlier fight but adding in a new twist. In the end, you'll be fighting Zant in a one-on-one duel in front of the trapped Hyrule Castle. FOREST TEMPLE PHASE This boss is reminiscent of the battle with Diababa. It works very similar to that in the weapon you'll be using the Gale Boomerang. Equip that and lock-on to Zant. All you need to do is throwing the Boomerang at him and he'll stop floating around and be open for an attack. He does have an attack he'll use, which is throwing these balls of energy at you, but it's very easy to avoid and it's blockable by your shield. Keep in mind that he'll use this attack throughout the duration of these battles. GORON MINES PHASE This phase puts you right back in the room where you tackled the giant Goron that you threw off the platform and into the burning lava. Zant's gimmick this time around will be to warp around the room and make the platform move all around. Although it's recommended to use the Iron Boots if you're having trouble balancing yourself, it's not all that necessary. Watch out for his energy attack by blocking it with your shield. He'll soon wear himself out and be open for a fury of sword slices. Attack him a few times here and it'll be time to switch the battleground again. LAKEBED TEMPLE PHASE This phase puts you in the watery deeps of Lakebed Temple. You're going to need to equip your Zora Armor to breath and also your Double Clawshot and Iron Boots There will be many different Snake Helmets all around the bottom. They'll be closed off until one of them opens up to show Zant inside. When he is exposed, he'll launch an energy attack at you and then wait a few seconds before disappearing. Use your Clawshot to pull him out of the Snake Helmet and deliver some blows with your sword. He'll run back into the helmet and the process will repeat. Continue doing this until Zant switches the scene once more. FOREST TEMPLE -- MONKEY BUSINESS PHASE Remember the mini-boss in the Forest Temple? Yeah -- that's this. Zant will work very similar to the way the monkey did, jumping from pole to pole and then stopping to throw an energy attack you. Work your away around the energy attack and wait for him to stop jumping. Roll into the pole he is standing on twice, not once, to knock him off. Once he's fallen, beat him down with your sword. He'll jump back onto the poles. Repeat the process a couple more times and it'll be time for another scene change. ARBITER'S GROUNDS PHASE Much like how you fought the Stallord's head, Zant will use his Snake Helmet to float in between the wall and the circular platform you are on. Use the Spinner item to latch onto the grooves in the walls and look out for Zant's energy blast that he used in the Palace of Twilight -- very similar to the fireballs that Stallord used. Jump back and forth between the walls until you're even with the Snake Helmet and knock it out of the air. After doing that a couple of times, Zant will once again change the scene. SNOWPEAK RUINS PHASE This phase takes you right back to where you fought Blizzetta. That means you'll need to use your Ball and Chain. Each time you hit him, Zant will get smaller and smaller until he's basically like an ant. When he's in his smallest state, hit him with either the Ball and Chain again or your sword to reset his size. Keep this up until he changes the scene for the final time. DUEL WITH ZANT In this final phase, you'll fight Zant right in front of the trapped Hyrule Castle. This is pretty much a one-on-one duel with the man himself; no real gimmick to talk about here. He has a few attacks that he'll use in this final confrontation -- one is the stanard slices from his two blades on his arms and the other is a vicious spin attack. The latter is hard to avoid because it can break your guard fairly easily. Jump out of the way and use your shield to block both of them though. After the spin attack, Zant will often be left very dizzy and that's the invitation to rock him hard with your sword. He'll have other openings when he's running toward you and just stupidly trying to swing his blades as well. Once you've hit him enough times, he'll fall to the ground and you'll be warped back to the Palace of Twilight. Zant defeated. [BS9] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Ganondorf | |Temple: Hyrule Castle | |Difficulty: Medium | |Items: Master Sword | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The final, epic battle with the King of Evil himself -- Ganondorf. This battle is very long and pretty tough if you don't know how to handle him. There are multiple phases and forms to this one. You really need to prepared for what's in store before you attempt this one. GANON'S PUPPET -- ZELDA The first phase has Ganon possessing Zelda for a throwback to Ocarina of Time. You'll never have to directly attack Zelda; instead, you'll play a good ol' game of tennis with here...sort of. She'll charge up a giant ball of energy that she'll fling toward you. What you have to do is hit it back at her with the Master Sword. You keep doing this until she's the one who misses and it hits her. This part can be pretty challenging with the Wii Remote, but it's nothing too bad. The key attacks to watch out for, the energy attack aside, are a giant glowing triangle -- almost Triforce-esque -- that will emitt energy before having an explosion of sorts. It's pretty easily avoidable, but pretty devastating if you're hit by it. The other attack is her attack where she goes flying trough the air with her sword pointed out. She'll mix them up a bit in between the energy attack where you hit it back and forth. DARK BEAST -- GANON There are two phases to this one form. In the beginning, what you'll need to do is use your Bow to hit him in the head as he charges toward you. Due to how fast he is, this will need to be really quick. After you hit him, you'll also need to get out of the way because his momentum will keep carrying him forward toward you. After hitting him and moving out of the way, attack his chest like crazy until he gets back up and disappears. The next time he comes back there will be many different warp points that will appear, but he'll only come out of one. You'll know that he's coming by the blue glow that one of them will give off. Hit him in the head once again and beat at his chest. Eventually, he'll start dodging your Bow attacks by warping away. He'll try to literally smash you by dropping from above on your location. Get out of the way and then swich into your wolf form. It's Sacred Beast v. Dark Beast -- who wins?! Remember that almost seemingly pointless goat herding in the beginning of the game when you talked to the Mayor in Ordon Village? That returns here. As a wolf, you're abilities are limited, but Midna will help you out with her giant hand...thing. This time, when Ganon comes charging toward you press the A button right before he smashes you and you'll be interlocked in a battle of strength. Throw him to the side, much like the goat, and then start biting at his chest with your dash attack. Repeat this process until he's defeated. GANONDORF HORSEBACK BATTLE This battle takes place on Hyrule Field while you're riding Epona, along with Zelda. The key here is to chase Ganondorf around while avoiding his attacks and lining him up well enough to give Zelda a good enough shot with her Light Arrows. This is probably the toughest part of the fight with Ganondorf simply because it can be trouble controlling the horse. The major attack that Ganondorf will use while in this phase is his summoning of his dead companions, or dead spirits, to attack you. This usually occurs when you're gaining ground on him and lining up for an attack. You need to move around it slightly, but still stay on course so that Zelda can hit him with the Light Arrows. The other attack he uses will be when he's chasing you around; he'll try to knock Link off of the horse with his sword attack. Once Zelda has stunned him with the Light Arrows, it becomes your job to start hitting him with the sword. Do this multiple times to head into the final showdown with Ganondorf. DARK LORD -- GANONDORF In this final phase, you'll have one epic showdown with the King of Evil himself. There are golden walls all around you, so you can't run away or get assistance from Zelda. It's you Link v. Ganon in a sword duel. There are some skulls and the like around you that you can use to get some hearts if you're low on health, if you need it. There's no way to describe the amount of sword attacks that Ganondorf uses in this final battle, but be forewarned that he has a repertoire to match Link's. You'll have a real struggle getting around him and looking for an opening, but there are times when he will charge forward and initiate a "chance" sequence. Here, you'll want to mash the A button down repeatedly to knock Ganondorf off of his guard and then have an opening to deliver some blows. After a tough fight, you'll eventually knock Ganondorf onto the ground. This is the time where you deliver the final blow. Much like with normal enemies who you knock onto the ground, press the A button to see Link jump into the air and slam his sword into Ganondorf's chest, which will end the battle. All that's left to do is watch the ending.
