SHORT MESSAGE

OK, hi, and thanks for looking at my 1st FAQ. I don't know if I am any good at
FAQs, but you know, I try. I hopefully will be making more FAQs and
walkthroughs, for mostly this game and Squaresoft games. I hope like my FAQ
and enjoy!

OK..I am just going start from the jump point..right when you enter the big
man's door (Ganondorf). When you go inside, you will find Ganondorf playing
his organ. You will also see Princess Zelda locked up in this type of diamond
shaped chamber. Ganondorf will brag about himself for a minute then he will
light up the Triforce sign on his hand. Zelda's, and yours will light up too.
Once he gets mad enough that he thinks he can take you on..he will start
laughing, make it so your fairy cannot help you, then float out into the
center of the room. OK, now this is where the important part starts. First,
get to the sides of the room quickly..the corners where the stabilized
flooring is. There, if you didn't notice that he does before, he can't use his
fist, hit the floor and make blocks fall out of their spots. But what he can
do is shoot his lighting sphere looking bolts at you. They will travel slow at
first so this is your chance. Take out your sword or hammer (sword preferred)
and when the bolt comes close enough to you so that you can reach it with your
sword or hammer. When you are in this range, hit the lighting bolt like it was
any ordinary object. It will reflect off your sword (or hammer) like a
baseball bat and send it flying right back to Ganondorf. If he is smart enough
to figure its coming towards him, he will mostly hit it back at you the FIRST
time. Then you must do this again and hit it back at him. You play a game of
Ping-Pong until one of you miss. If YOU miss, it will electrocute you and take
away some life, maybe 2 or 3 heart containers. If HE misses, it will
electrocute him and now its your chance. Take out your bow and arrow WITH the
special light arrow add-on attached to it. Shoot him quickly and accurately.
It doesn't matter where you hit him, just hit him somewhere. It will hurt him
badly if you hit him before he recovers. The arrow will knock him down to the
ground (the middle island). Take out your sword, make sure you have your
floating boots on (preferred) and run over to the island quickly. Lock on-to
him with your sword out and keep hitting him as fast as you can. You can hit
him a MAX 2 times. After that, he will get back up and start floating in the
air again. Rush back over to your little spot in the wall and repeat the
process. After around 6 times, he will have enough and appeared to be killed,
lying helplessly on the ground. The princess will be freed from her little
diamond chamber and talk nasty about Ganondorf. Ganondorf must of hear her
because now the castle is shaking vigorously. The princess explains that yes,
you guessed it, the castle is being destroyed. Strangely, Ganondorf, with the
little bit of power he has left, (Looks to me this guy must be eating his
Wheaties or something) tears..down.the.castle? Strange as it sounds, he does
and you gotta bail out with the princess before you get killed. You have a
timer which you need to pay attention to. Follow the princess around the
outside of the castle and when she reaches gates with metallic bars on them,
she will use her powers and open them up (Do you think she has her Wheaties
too?).  Dont try to jump over the edge and land safely onto the ground (that
only happens in the movies). Anyway, follow Zelda down the whole castle. You
will in one room will see the princess being surrounded by a ring of fire. You
must destroy these 2 skeleton guys to free princess. Do this quickly and
return on your run down the castle. If you get hurt by anything at all, the
princess will gasp and close her eyes. This will take time off your timer so
try to avoid any thing that will break bones. Once your out of the castle, the
castle will plummet into the ground..strangely, onto a big FLAT ring. The
princess will start talking then your fairy will apologize for not being able
to help you during Ganondorf's battle. You will hear a big boom near this pile
of rubble. So what you have to do is go check it out. When you do, its
Ganondorf (he must be working out and eating his Wheaties at the SAME time),
and he is like some kind of messed up freak of nature. He uses his power to
evolve himself into Ganon. Now, in this picture Ganon looks HUGE, but he is
actually not that big at all. Ganon, being a jerk, knocks the your special
magical sword out of your hands (even if you didn't have the sword in your
hands in the first place)and it lands in the dirt next to Zelda who is
watching from a front row view of your death. OK, this is your last battle you
have to fight and for me, the hardest one. At first, Ganon will be moving
fairly slow. Try to run between his legs and cut or smash his tail with your
hammer or the Biggeron Sword (IF YOU HAVE IT) or shoot him with a arrow of any
kind in his face (Make sure you hit HIM, not 1 of his 2 swords). If you hit
him with the arrow, he will be sort of paralyzed. This is your chance to run
behind him and hit him with your weapon.   He will moan and groan after you do
this a become angry. After you do this so many times (I estimate 6 times), he
will fall to the ground and the fire ring will disappear temporarily. Now,
Zelda yells to come and retrieve the sword. Quickly run over to the sword, and
press A when you are against it and facing it. Your will talk to Zelda no
matter what and then you will pull the sword out. Take the sword back to where
Ganon is laying (ring of fire starts back up) and lock on to his tail and hit
it hard. He, now, is MAD. Take out your arrows, do as I said which is
optional, above, and repeat the process. He then, will fall to the ground a
second time. Zelda tells you to destroy him so you do what your girl-friend
says and chop the chunks out of his face. From here on its a scenario. 

The last things I gotta say was, its cool when Link jabbed that sword right
into Ganon's skull and that...the ENDING STINKS from my point of view. I think
the credits are better than the ending so stick around for the credits
too...they are pretty cool!
