However, if I can play through the games without the constant pain and suffering of t&e and backtracking and getting lost, why not benefit from what I can use. It's not as if I used a code to unlock everything. I rarely used Potions, by the way. Too lazy to buy 'em.
While I hate most boss battles, the Ganon battle was pretty cool. It was fairly easy with the Red Ring and Noble Sword, but a bit of figuring out could've had me beat him without that kind of aid. Twinrova (seperate) sucks. Parrying those bolts is a pain. Also, for Ganon, as well as Onox, I would've appreciated the slightest hint that I had to use spin-attacks. Some of the required methods, even with the vague owl hints, are far from intuitive compared to others.
I sometimes use the help when I need it. Of course, it works very well when I want to do a no damage run.
By the way, you said you had spin attack trouble, right?
If you get the Master Sword, you can just slash at ol' Ganon without any trouble. To get the sword in Seasons, you need to go into the Hero's Cave and look for a Zora. He'll give you a secret you need to tell to King Zora in Ages. Also, don't forget to obtain the Noble Sword in Seasons first. Otherwise, you'll just end up with the Noble Sword once you enter the secret back in Seasons.
