Ok, I've beaten this guy like a million times.... I'm not even kidding. I can beat this buy with my eyes closed, both arms tied behind my back, while having my hair pulled out by a pack of raging squirrels on steroids without losing a single heart or using any magic potions. But when I'm trying a 3 Heart Challenge, I can't for the life of me manage to beat this guy. It's driving me CRAZY!!!!
I get to the second phase of the battle (when you get the Master Sword back) and he seems to have INFINITE life! No matter how many times I hit him, he never goes down! I use up all my 20 Deku Nuts and 20 Bombs before switching to my Light Arrows/ Megaton Hammer Jump Attack combo, running through four full extended magic meters' worth of Light Arrows (two Green Potions, plus a refill using the ruins' drops), and 80 Arrows, well maybe about 20 actually being used to hit his Tail to directly cause damage. When I finally run out of equipment, I die to his one-hit-killing swings trying to use my hookshot or rolling through his legs.
I'm absolutely dumbfounded by how much damage he's taking. On all the other times I've fought him, I never remember this battle taking SO long.
I kind of had a crazy idea occur to me: what if the Master Sword HAD to be used to defeat him in the battle? I always use items like Deku Nuts, Arrows, or the Megaton Hammer to attack his Tail, since actually using the Master Sword seems like a waste seeing as how the Hammer deals twice the damage. I think this is implausible, because I know I've beaten him using only the Biggoron Sword on files where I have it. But still for some reason I get a feeling like he shouldn't be taking so much damage.
If anyone can help me with this dilemma, I'd be very grateful. This one battle is all that's keeping me from completing my first 3 Heart Challenge!
