HCBailly plays The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Part 25 of 26


Here we go: it's the final battle against Ganon!


All maps by Iron Knuckle.

You'll be dealing with a few more lantern-lighting puzzles that require the Fire Rod, but there's really nothing to them.

You'll fight Moldorm from the Eastern Palace again. Stay near one of the walls and whack Moldorm in the tail with a whirlwind slash. Since you have the Level 4 Sword, this will kill him immediately.

The boss is Agahnim. This time around, he splits into three and teleports around the room, sending a salvo of fireballs at you that you can send back at him. The clones are translucent and can't be damaged, while the real one is opaque and has a darker shadow than the other two. This allows you to hit Agahnim multiple times whenever possible. When you beat him, Agahnim will fall and a blue bat will pop out of his body. This is Ganon. Link will use the Ocarina and the Bird will drop him off at the top of the pyramid in the center of the Dark World, which is weird considering that the bird only appears in the Light World.

The bat will fall through the base of the pyramid and make a huge hole in the ground that you can fall through.

When you drop down, you'll finally meet Ganon. PROTIP: Walk forward and hit Ganon with the Sword before he speaks. You'll get a free hit in.

You'll need the Cane of Byrna for most of this fight. Ganon can throw his trident and also shoot fire around him, sending angry phoenixes in your direction and also creating a spiral of fire in front of him.

As you fight, he'll shake the floor and cause tiles to disappear. The floor tiles nearest the wall will fall into nothingness one side at a time. If you fall into the pit, you'll enter another part of the pyramid. You'll find a telepathic tile here telling you to hit Ganon with a Silver Arrow when he's stunned. Of course, you'll also have to start the battle over when this happens.

When the room goes dark, light both lanterns in the room with the Fire Rod. You'll be able to see Ganon again and continue the fight. Watch out for the phoenixes he shoots at you!

At this point, once you've lit the lanterns and hit Ganon, he'll be frozen for a few seconds. Immediately switch to the Bow and Silver Arrows and hit him with it. After a few arrows, it's over. A door will open in the wall to the north. Go in and put the controller down. You've done it.
