Ride the pony with young Link:
When Link grows up, you will be able to ride the horse. Learn the song and go back in time and play the song 10 times at the ranch in front of the girl. The horse will come to you. Talk to her and give her 100 rubies and she will giv you her horse. When she ask you if you wil take care of it well and not let it die of starve or in get in danger, say you will promise that but you will try as best as you can to keep it safe. Do this because u have only one chance. If you choose ye syou will, she will not let you because she wil say you gave her a quick answer.

Fighting Ganondorf:

Defeating Gannon easily:
Usually people say you have to shoot him with the light arrow when he is stunned by his fireball. Well try using the light arrow once along with the giant sword. He will lose easily, but when fighting his second form, the tall monster, dont bother shooting the light arrow at him. Just row under him and slam him with the Hammer on his tail, then right when you hit him, go to the menu screen and switch one of the C buttons to using the fire stone which will cause fire all around you, that will hurt him alot and at the end, keep doing that until you have to use the Master Sword to defeat him. It will be quick sine you use the fire stone. At the end, have alittle fun by using all these magics and attacks you have on him when he is on the floor, hit him in the back and all before you kill him with the master sword.
