The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Game Guide

How? Well, your shield attack won’t do the job. No, you have to slash your sword at the energy
ball to send it back to Zelda. Just wait until it’s on its way, hit the ball with your sword, and it’ll be
reflected back towards Zelda. The catch? You have to be almost underneath her to actually pull

thrown. Getting the timing down right is tricky, but it can be done with a bit of practice.
Dark Beast - Ganon
Ganon now shifts into his own wolf form, although it’s really more of a mutant wolf/boar/thing. He
doesn’t really have attacks here, per se, he just charges at you and attempts to trample you, and

After a couple of successful belly-attacks, Ganon will start to teleport just before your arrow
connects with his forehead. This is your cue to shift to wolf form and go lupus a lupus. Wait for
Ganon to teleport, then look at the shifting teleport portals that will appear on one side of the
