To start with, I am forced to equip the Master Sword in order to make proper use of the Mirror Shield.
It seems this game hates democracy. We voted on that setup and everything.
Anyway, let's test this out.
It does exactly what it sounds like it does.
It reflects shit.
A non-glitched key is obtained.
Now I can go through this door with a clear conscience.
This room contains those ugly laser beam things.
I annihilate them just because they're ugly.
Really, I didn't have to do that. But I did anyway.
This wall shifts back and forth.
It's a lot harder to climb than I expected.
Oh look more ugly laser beasts
I don't even care enough to kill these now.
That Triforce symbol means I must play Zelda's Lullaby, but screw that I'm going left.
And is it turns out, there is nothing important here.
BACK TO THE TRIFORCE
AWW YEAH
Lots of Ugly Sluggy things
Haven't seen these since way back in the fire temple.
I'm not one for nostalgia so I kill the hell out of all of them.
Evil doors
Those are a fire-temple foe as well
I blow them up
There's a switch behind one of them
I was totally looking for that
Yeah
The switch activates a platform that lets me push a button that let's me get rid of that ring of fire around the chest.
At this point I've stopped expecting these fancy chests to have Gunswords or Badger Launchers in them
Just stupid keys
Further exploration of the Spirit Temple
A lizardman arrives.
He is dispatched, but he manages to get a hit on me and get my health dangerously low.
I must retreat for now.
With health restored, my quest continues.
These are called White Bubbles
I call them Target Practice.
SUSPICIOUS WALL
WHAT TIME IS IT?
EXPLOSION TIME!
Another lizardman
And a mirror
Lizardman dies. Now what to do with this mirror.
I arrange the mirrors so that the light reflects around the room.
The light eventually bounces it's way into this room here.
And then I reflect it off my mirror shield.
That's a grand total of four reflections, gentlemen.
I begin to descend.
Hey look at that, it's Snaketits again.
We have such a lovely view from here.
I shine this beam of light on Snaketit's face, because I can't think of anything else to do.
Oops
I broke Snaketits
I longshot over to this area behind Snaketit's head (or what used to be it)
DUN DUN DUUUUUN
The boss room is nigh
Ready for action, as always.
It's another Iron Knuckle.
It's supported by the two witches this time.
MY GOD
THAT NOSE
I used to think Ganondorf had a big nose
I was wrong
You have reached an entirely new level of Nosedom, ladies.
I don't even have jokes prepared for how large your noses are.
I CANNOT HEAR YOUR INSULTS OVER THE SOUND OF THOSE NOSES
They're going to sick the Iron Knuckle at me.
Good, this will give me some time to come up with good nose jokes for them.
After a brief bit of confusion over it's axe, the Iron Knuckle moves out.
I've never been fond of showing the same fight twice, much less thrice, so let's skip to the ending.
BANZAI
I break of all the Iron Knuckle's armor.
It turns out it is actually Nabooru.
The witches show up again.
I haven't come up with a good nose joke yet, curses.
Oh, turns out she was being brainwashed.
That explains a lot.
Nabooru vanishes along with the Nosewitches
I walk along into this big old room right here
STUPID
KID!?
Guess who's getting a sword to the face
BOTH OF THEM
I shall call them Twinnosa
The strategy here is "Reflect one sisters attacks towards the other"
God only knows what might have happened if they both learned the same elemental attack.
I find this battle amusing
Getting hit by the attacks is not fun
Especially the fire one. That can wipe out a lot of my health.
Reflecting the attacks is kind of tough, I'll admit, but it's rather rewarding when they hit.
I accidentally fall off the edge of the platform
Kind of nice, actually. That beam would have hit me and killed me.
I reflect one more beam attack
Get serious?
They're going to do "that"?
Suddenly, GATTAI
Their blasts are a bit more powerful in this form.
They must have turned their noses into pure power.
Blocking the attacks seems to absorb it instead of reflecting it. I can see where this is going
I can also tell that I should not try absorbing Fire and ice attacks at the same time.
I absorb three Ice bolts and suddenly ICE EVERYWHERE
It knocks out Twinnosa, so I can chop her up.
This feels oddly like chopping wood.
I absorb another three bolts of ice and unleash the blast again
This still feels wooden.
You know what, I'm sick of using ice bolts.
Ice is for pussies.
I'm using FIRE
Would you stop flinging ice I need to absorb a fire blast
Just stop it
I am trying to kill you here why are you resisting.
HERE WE GO
NOW IS CHOPPING TIME
And now she is dead
She splits back into the Nosewitches.
The gravitational well of their noses forms rings above their heads.
They bitch at each other to death
I never got to tell them my great nose jokes.
Awwwwww
HEART CONTAINER
I'M OUT OF JOKES FOR THIS AT THIS POINT
Off to Sage Land!
And to no one's surprise the sage is Nabooru
Yes, I understand.
Speech, moral of the story, blah blah blah
I like the sound of that.
FINAL MEDALLION GET
Yes?
Oh god extreme close up of Rauru
Meet someone at the temple. Got it.
Six sages, Six temples, Six medallions.
Nothing but me and Ganondorf now.
It's go time.
