Since I'm sure some of you guys will probably want to get started on this one over the weekend, I went ahead and updated the OP with the checkpoint for week 1.  Have fun!

Is the magic boomerang the red version? Because I did that.

Yep, and it's a huge improvement over the default boomerang.

Agreed! I found out by accident that you can scoop up items with it.

Chucking the boomerang around in The Legend of Zelda or LttP is one of my favorite video game mechanics. Simple, effective, and fun.

Yeah, he's annoying.  The best strategy I found was to use that hole in the center of the platform to keep some distance from him, and then when he hits the hole and turns around, pop out and take a swipe at his tail.  Patience is key with this guy.

Also, your spin attack can be used to cover a wider area when you strike. Pretty sure it also inflicts more damage per strike as well.

^ Spin attack, or use the Pegasus Boots to dash at the tail. The important part of the battle is not to fall down the hole in the center, or you'll end up a floor below and have to take on the boss again.

What I was doing, and what the speed runners I've seen do, is holding my sword out and staying close to the thing. This reduces the knock back a ton.

Holding the sword out isn't going to do a lot of damage. It's fine to do that, just release into a spin attack when appropriate, then dodge and reset sword.

We have the first check point  :l we should start playing today so we will have 30 days :p

EDIT: Update your Tapatalk douglie! The old version doesn't preserve the topic, so it replaces withe topics of your responses with Re: (nothing). Another member ran into the same problem a few months back.
