LttP Update - O. M. G.

I BEAT GANON!

...That was unexpected, huh?

...Why do I always do that?

...I mean, I always put a starting sentence, and then a paragraph, and then continue on with the rest of the post...

Yeah...

So...


Okay! So, yeah, I like, defeated Ganon. Twice. Yeah, only twice. I was 1) too lazy to do it more times 2) too short on money to buy potions for the battle 3) HATE the pits of death around the boss room and 4) Ganon IS ANNOYING. But, hey, I got the Triforce twice. Yipee!

This is probably totally random to most of you but WHAT THE HECK?!?! I just wrote a big long entry here on my DSi and NONE OF IT SAVED! Except that first part, because I wrote that on my computer earler today. UGH! I had been writing for HALF AN HOUR! I was already mad because my DSi's memory wouldn't let me type anymore, but now THIS?!

...Weeelll...

I guess you'll just have to wait until I edit this tomorrow, because I'm SO not rewriting that tonight. Just wait for the edit, I guess - it will come soon enough! ;)

EDIT: Guess what? It came!

So... I'll try to write from memory what I wrote last time...

Ganon was fun, but HARD. Should I describe the EPIC fight? I'll start from when I got to the top of Ganon's Tower (at least I THINK it was the top... I mean, I don't think I was climbing DOWN...). And for those of you who haven't done this, I'll go into enough detail that most people (even some non-Zelda fans... possibly...) can understand!

I go into the boss room of Ganon's Tower, and guess who I find in there? AGAHNIM! He's the boss I fought in Hyrule Castle earlier. As if he wasn't bad enough ONCE. -.- And you know what's even more GREAT? He's got friends! He makes clones of himself, so now you have to defend against his attacks AND his clones! Worse: I ONLY HAD TWO HEARTS AND A HALF - and no potions or faeries to heal me. I was sure I was doomed.

Then a miracle happened: I somehow defeated him with HALF A HEART LEFT! O:

As he is defeated, he collapses to the ground and out of him comes, to my astonishment, the one and only GANON! He turns into a bat... and I think he flew away. My little ducky buddy comes and he flies me away to the Pyramid of Power, the main area of the Dark World. Now there's an ENORMOUS hole in the top of it. Despite the fact that I'm confused and somewhat stunned that I was suddenly faced with Ganon/batman and whisked out of the tower without warning and half a heart, I had no doubt that if I fell down there I would begin the boss battle... and with half a heart, seal my doom.

So I face the newly formed hole, take a deep breath... and warp to the Light World with the Magic Mirror to get the heck out of there. xD Yeah, there's no way I'm risking it. Even if I managed to miraculously defeat Agahinim again, I wasn't so sure Ganon would be as easy. I needed to prepare.

I use my Flute and duck to fly to the Potion Shop. Using the "free sample" the assistant gives me, I filled up my hearts all the way (phew, don't have to worry about dying every second anymore) and bought two blue potions. Why only two if I have four bottles? Well, one bottle still has some Green Potion in it, and I'm out of rupees. O.o Instead, I replaced the missing potion with a fairy.

Okay. Now I'm ready.

I hurry to Hyrule Castle and go through the gate, which warps me to the Dark World. I climb up the Pyramid, to the very top. This time, I jump into the hole.

I land in a tiled room with a giant Triforce-design in the center. And, of course, Ganon's there. He says some boring speech that basically says I'm awesomer than he thought I was. :P He confidently explains that he's still going to win. AS IF! The battle begins. With my full health, I decided that I could go to the back of the room and start shooting sword-beams at him. Aaannd... nothing happened. They bounced off him! Surprised, I then take out the Magic Boomerang. Same result. Fire Rod does the same. Then, I'm SURE the Silver Arrows will work - aren't they his weakness? But NO! They have the same effect.

So what DO I do if none of my weapons work?

I walk right over to him and pound B like crazy, slashing my sword as much as quickly as I could. Luckily, THAT works. Apparently you have to be right next to him to do any damage. O.o He throws his trident thing (which looks suspiciously like the one on the entrance to the fourth dungeon) at me, which spins around and comes back to him like a boomerang, while he moves around the room, sometimes at really fast speeds so I have to follow him to hurt him.

Eventually, he changes tatics. He spins his trident but doesn't throw it. Instead, fireballs form around him in a circle. Then they shoot out, covering more than half the room. They retract back, and turn into firey bats that fly out at me. The fireballs aren't hard... but the bats are so fast, they're nearly IMPOSSIBLE to avoid.

He again tries something different. A singular fire-bat forms and starts flying in a circle, leaving a trail of fire behind. Then he jumps up and lands with a loud "THUMP" that makes the tiles around the edge of the room fall, making large pits. After all four sides of the room's tiles have fallen, he informs me that he's using his attack of "darkness" or something. Um, okay. The lights suddenly go out, and Ganon disappears while a random fire bat shoots at me from seemingly no where. I light the two torches again with my Fire Rod, and Ganon reappears. I whack him with my sword... and he turns blue. Uh... so I shot him with a Silver Arrow, he gets hurt, and then the lights go out again. I did this about four times... and then guess what? His bat hits me... and I FELL.

I don't know what I was expecting when I fell into the holes surrounding the room. I probably thought I'd lose a heart and appear up on the platform again. But nooo, it has to be HARDER than that. I land in a strange room. At the bottom of a room is a door, leading into ANOTHER room, and ANOTHER door that I go out of. Guess where I am? OUTSIDE OF THE PYRAMID. This means... what?

I HAVE TO DO GANON ALL OVER AGAIN.

Worse of all, I already used up a potion in battle! And if you recall... I'm still out of money. I was forced to play the Treasure Chest game and the digging game to get some cash.

Finally, I do it again, and I RAN OUT OF MAGIC. I was forced to throw myself off the side to restart the fight and get magic to light the torches.

Ugh... I'm out of time again. I'll explain what happens after I beat the boss tomorrow. Isn't that great? ;)

EDIT: Ookay!

After many, many, MANY times where I fell (it was nearing 20) I finally shot that last Silver Arrow, AND GANON BLEW UP! xD

A bridge formed across the put of death to the North of the room. I crossed it, and inside I found three glowing triangle - THE TRIFORCE! Omgness! I got them all! Usually I only get Courage but this time I got ALL THREE... WOOT!

Aaand... then the credits go rolling. Hooray. At the end it said how many "games" I had played. I'm not sure what that meant - how many times you entered the dungeon, maybe? Anyway, Skull Dungeon had the most at 24. xD Desert Palace had second most, and Ganon's Tower had third most (big surprise there). Amazingly, Misery Mire had the least at only two. Oh, wait... it was actually Hyrule Castle basement or whatever at one. Lol, only needed to save Zelda once. :P It said I'd played exactly 99 games total. Sweetness. I just needed one more for ONE HUNDRED! 8D

Sooo... that's it! It was awesome, but the pits still made it annoyingly hard. O.o
