Announcement # 1:
Understand that Zelda is an awesome, awesome game, and I did indeed, expect to get a lot of e-mail, but the kinds of questions I'm getting are simply ridiculous. "Where are the Golden Gauntlets? Oh, I need to get to the final level? Oh, ho ho..." and "How do I beat the first boss?" and "How do I get into Ganon's Castle...?" and "Where is the Golden Scale?" and the most brain contorting of all, "Can I become a child again, or do I have to do everything before becoming an adult?" You idiots! This is a Miyamoto game (if you don't know who that is, then I would be ashamed), OF COURSE YOU CAN! And you can't get stuck forever either...
For the next few days, I will be ignoring ALL e-mail, ok? I really need to work on my Turok II FAQ, have fun with video games, and have a life (wink, wink). I'm getting sick of spending three hours answering e-mail, it's just plain wrong I tell you, wrong! I'm starting to wonder how intelligent the human species is, if it can't even read through a few 100K of text to find an answer to a question - is it so difficult? "Duh...where are the Great Fairies?" Hey, jerk-off, I made a section for that, why not try LOOKING AT IT!? Jeez...I can understand if you didn't understand something I said, or I need to clarify something, but questions like the above are simply a waste of time and will be ignored, get my drift?
Also, an attempt at making your e-mail coherent, would indeed, up your chances of getting a response. You can't spell very good? Hey, no problem, I couldn't care less. But when I see messages like "Wherwz the aswtich in de water T!MPLE?! Are ue dum kin or FaGOT?!" I start to wonder. If you think I'm joking about that last quote, I'm not. Also, all caps will be ignored, they are so annoying (If you didn't notice). There...I'm finished.
I need to watch my blood pressure, I get pissed too easily (well, ok, that's only half-true. I get too pissed too easily at complete IDIOTS. I'm fine around normal, coherent people).
Announcement # 2:
I have been getting a flood of e-mail about beating GANON, the last boss, with the Iron Boots equipped. They range from "Hey, he was even more easy!" to "It took me five hours, but I finally did it!!" There are three ways to approach GANON with the Iron Boots equipped.
Method Uno -
The easiest of all, you simply Z-target him and wait until it looks like he will swing his gigantic weapon at you. You then quickly break the lock, run at break neck speed, and roll under his legs. Besides some major clipping, you'll be behind GANON and he'll still be looking forward, the AI being crippled. Then, as fast as you possibly can, Z- target his tail, then do a lunge with your Megaton Hammer or Big Goron's Sword. Then GANON will turn around and the process will begin again. It does get harder, as he will get faster and faster each time, leaving you less time to pull off a lunge (soon you can't do a lunge and you'll just be hacking away). Easy, simple, and painless.
Method Dos -
Instead of rolling underneath him, you do it more the "right way." That is, Z-targeting him and firing off Light Arrows at his face, then going around to puncture his precious tail. This would be easy, if it weren't for the fact you move at about 1 inch a second. First off, you'll need to find a way to avoid his swords...EASY! Simply backflip and the problem is solved. Then you need to get to his tail once he is paralyzed...even easier, just sidestep a bunch. Yeah, it does get slightly more difficult as he spends less time paralyzed (and he gets faster on foot). You may get hit once or twice, but it shouldn't be overly difficult.
Method Tres -
dun dun dun <enter dramatic reverb>...This method is nearly impossible to pull off, but I have done it once. It's just like Method Dos, with you firing off Light Arrows at GANON'S face, but instead of backflipping and side-stepping, you...uh...walk normally! GANON can now out run you, which makes him look like Satan himself (well, he already does, but that's besides the point). Seriously, there are no tricks, except for bringing four bottles of Ultimate Blue Potion and having Double Defense.
And there we go, you can go home now, you drooling lunatics.

When it's 100% finished, this will my largest guide I have ever, ever, ever written. I doubt that any other game will come my way that will make me produce a larger guide, maybe EarthBound 64? Only time will tell.
Like always, if you find any errors, typos, mistakes, mis-information, comments, questions, rants/raves, or whatnot, E-mail me at m_mallow@hotmail.com. If there is something that isn't there, or I can't get to something, don't E-mail me! First off, I don't want to ruin this game, and I've learned my lesson: My E-mail box fills up way too quickly from that. So, C-ya on the next FAQ!

P.S. Tell me if you've beaten GANON with Iron Boots :)
