the Bots (who are supercharged and take quite a few hits) and breaking blocks.
Then you must face a Blue Bird Knight. Either run like the world was ending or
use the Thunder Spell, because I doubt you could kill it. Of course, not even
the Thunder Spell can kill it. After a long, grueling sword fight you can kill
it... for 100 experience! Rip-off!
Break the blocks and head into the next room. As you cross the bridge use the
Downward Thrust to kill the beast and continue right down an elevator and head
right. In here, there are curtains, but there is no boss. There's just a Big
Bot (avoid) and a Bird Knight, which you may want to kill. Keep to the right,
dodging the Blue Bird Knight, and cracking the blocks. Go down once (1) and
head left. Keep going until you find a Link Doll. Yay! You'll last longer.
Now return to the previous room.
Take the elevator all the way down. Head left, killing the Bird Knight and Bot.
Break the blocks here, avoiding the Dragon Gargoyle statues. One of the blocks
hides a secret hole. Fall down and head right, avoiding the Big Bot. It is
invisible until you pass under it and it will hurt you. Keep right and you'll
see a bridge that breaks when you walk on it. Cross over it until you see a
hole surrounded by walls. Fall into it and head right after you fall.
Mini-Boss: Thunderbird
Note: See note below the paragraph before doing this! I found a super-easy way
of beating Thunderbird!!!
This is easily the hardest enemy in the game, despite that it is a mini-boss.
There is no curtain, but you know it is a mini-boss because it has a life gauge.
Before battle cast the Shield spell, Jump Spell, and Reflect Spell (wait on the
Reflect Spell. Depending on where you are in magic you won't be able to cast it
after using the Thunder Spell). Now, you'll see Thunderbird float onto the
screen like a common enemy. Immediately cast Thunder, making it turn blue and
show its face. First off, avoid the feathers. Even with shield and a Level 8
life gauge they will take major chunks of it out each. As you fight the mad
beast more often you'll get better at dodging the feathers and it will be easier
to hit. But you have to be good to beat it. I've found that generally,
Thunderbird drops his fiery feathers of death from the side he is moving. Take
advantage of this and jump up and slash the face. It's the only way to hurt it
and will probably take you a long time. Now, here's the best way to do damage
and avoid dying. Standing on the main platform will kill you every time. It is
too hard to dodge there and you jump too high. Since Thunderbird drops move
feathers on the side he's moving from, stay in the side corners, jump up, slash
the face, and jump through two feathers to get to the other side. Repeat the
process and hope for the best. Each time Thunderbird gets faster. When
slashing the face try to do two hits in one. If you start a slash with an
Upward Thrust and end it with a slash it will be like two in one. Good luck.
When it dies, head right.
Note: I found a glitch in Thunder Bird that makes him so easy. It's great!
First, stand in the corner of either side of the screen. You'll get hit by one
feather as Thunderbird comes over. Don't worry, it won't kill you in one
feather so you can afford it. Now, in the corner Thunderbird will move in and
out (his body will shift from in the battle scene to out of it) and his feathers
won't hit you. So we've established an area where you cannot get hit. So far
so good. Note that I used the right corner. I don't know if it makes a
difference which corner because I beat it only once. Now just jump up and down
and slash. Make sure your pressing the direction toward the side (left if your
standing on left, right if right) so you don't lead Thunderbird back to the main
arena. Thunderbird will float around helplessly, dropping feathers that either
go too far or get absorbed by the black border. Make sure you're also pressing
up on the control pad when doing this. Every so often a feather will hit you
but you'll have beaten it by then. If you keep doing this you'll learn to time
jumps and avoid feathers altogether. Hooray! However, you're still subject to
attack. If you do get hit by the feathers using this strategy, you're jumping
at the wrong time. You want to jump after it sticks its head out on the lower
level the second time. That's when you can hit it and avoid damage. When
waiting, walk into the border so you just barely aren't hit. It's that simple!
The only time the feathers can hit you is right before you deliver the final
blow (he's shedding them so fast and so many you can't avoid it). At that time,
though, you'll have so much health it won't matter.
BOSS: DARK LINK
The guardians are all dead. Only one remains. Since you killed the others, who
could be stronger but yourself? It is Link's dark side manifested into one
ultimate warrior, Dark Link! He is much, much easier than the other guardians,
however. After Thunderbird, this will be like killing a Bot. Step onto the
final arena... Since you probably have no magic left, you won't be able to cast
a spell. But if you can somehow, cast the Shield Spell. While technically you
could refill your magic, you'd have to backtrack a bit. So, Dark Link. Back on
track. First, Dark Link runs about as fast as you, so hurry to the left corner.
Stand there and just press B rapidly to slash. Dark Link will walk up, be hit,
and make the same moronic mistake over and over. Even without healing from
Thunderbird I beat him.
When you win an old man, possibly the King of Hyrule's spirit, gives Link the
Triforce piece of Courage. Link gathers the three pieces of the Triforce and
awakens the Princess. In North Castle Link awakens Zelda and she says that
you're a real hero. The curtains lower, it looks like Zelda is giving Link a
hug, although we can only see their legs, and the credits roll. Ah, so
wonderful it is to beat a game like this. Sit through the credits and a symbol
of the Triforce appears. It says "Thanks a million. Push start to replay."
When you press start you can begin a second quest. In it you start with all the
spells and gauges that you had, but you have no Heart Containers, Magic
Containers, or items. You can replay the game. The only difference between
this quest and the first is that you start with all your spells and levels, but
it really makes it easier. CONGRATULATIONS! YOU BEAT THE GAME!
