The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Ganon's Castle: Difference between revisions

Navi is held back by Ganondorf's evil aura so you cannot use {{control|{{N64|Z}}|{{gc|L}}|{{wii-cc|L}}}}-targeting during this battle. Make sure you have the hover boots on. Simply stand on any of the outer blocks in the corners and let Ganondorf shoot at you. Otherwise, he may send shockwaves through the floor and make it crumble, like at the start of the fight. If a shockwave does knock you off climb onto his platform and return his magic ball. When you're this close he can't block it, but it only works once each time you fall. If you remember the fight with Phantom Ganon, you'll know what to do. Use your sword or an empty bottle to deflect Ganondorf's magic back at him. After a few volleys, he'll get hit by his own magic and will be stunned. At this point hit him with a light arrow, then jump (or hover) onto the platform in the center and slash him to pieces. Don't use Nayru's Love to protect you though since you can't shoot the light arrows when being protected by the Love.  Jump back to the squares and repeat. Sometimes (when he's low on health) he'll shoot a large blast of magic at you. You can deflect this one by using your fully charged spin attack, otherwise avoid it. While he is charging up the attack you can hit him with a light arrow which won't stun him but it will hurt him. It'll make pieces of the floor crumble away, making the battle trickier. You have a choice of either keeping the hover boots on or changing over to your regular boots in order to run faster to avoid the blast of magic. Either way, as you run from the bolts of magic, rolling at the last second helps you to avoid getting hit.
