The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Game Guide

Red is good. Try to make things turn red.
As far as attacking him goes, this is mostly a matter of continually using the Back Slice maneuver
and hoping it goes through, which it will a fairly good amount of the time. Normally he’ll block
your attacks, but every so often you’ll penetrate his defense and be able to get a few blows in,
and that’s going to add up over the course of the fight. All you really need to do is stay close to
him and continually roll around him, attempting to strike his back, then roll to one side when he
attempts his jumping attack. Since most of Ganon’s attacks strike in front of him, your rolling will
also act as a defensive measure. When you’re far away from him, resist using your jump attack to
close in; he’ll almost always dodge and counterattack. If you unlocked the Jump Strike hidden
skill, though, that will work quite well for closing the gap between you and he.
And that’s about it. There’s no particular secret strategy here, like the whole jump-and-strike-
Ganon’s-head deal from Wind Waker. Continue to pile on the damage until you see Ganon take a
knee. That’ll be the first sign you’re getting to him. Keep it up, and eventually he’ll fall on his back.
Z-target him and use the Ending Blow to finish him off. Don’t forget to watch the credits; there’s a
bonus scene included near the end.
