I must have really sucked at video games when I was a kid.

When my cousin and I got to the final boss (Thunderbird), what we didn't know is that we didn't have the proper spell to help defeat him. Once we got everything together though, I was the one who did all the work trying to defeat him, and I'd always keep getting defeated. The worst time was when I only needed just ONE MORE HIT to finish him, and he got all relentless with his attacks and he did me in. I eventually defeated Thunderbird, but that wasn't the end. I still had to deal with Link's shadow. I don't think I won on the first try, but he wasn't a pain in the neck like Thunderbird was. If I did get a game over before I ever defeated Link's shadow though, it's just good that you at least don't have to deal with Thunderbird again. Though what really helps against Thunderbird is when your attack level is at its zenith. Mine was always at 7 when dealing with Thunderbird, but you should make sure it's at 8.

Thunderbird is seriously my most hated video game villain in all the games I've ever played in my life.
