The fight becomes a brutal war of attrition. The bad guy swipes, Link manages a weak riposte, and then eats more mushrooms.

I lose this fight. Over, and over, and over again. But I will not walk down the mountain in defeat.

Zelda needs me and Link has just recovered memories of a childhood friend sharing with him a sacred trust.

Eventually, I get good enough to dodge some of the attacks. Not all of them - mushrooms are still getting eaten by the bucket - but enough.

Link then realizes a second problem: he has insufficient swords. They break in this game, you see, and the monster has a LOT of healthbar.

And so Link finds himself out of mushrooms and out of swords, with one swipe left of his one axe, and the enemy having two swipes left.

The enemy prepares to charge and Link prepares to accept his fate... when he sees, next to him, a tree.

Link shatters his mighty enchanted axe on the tree, felling it, and picks up a stick.

There may come a day when Hyrule gives up and Gannon wins, but it will not happen while Link has half a heart and a stick in his hand.

Charge comes the foe. Slide, swish swish swish goes the stick.

Again he charges. Again Link dodges. Again the stick lands true.

The foe stands at the other end of the field, incredulous, and moves into a stance announcing his best charge. Link winces.

In all the hours of fighting, Link has never dodged this charge. He sucks it up and eats the mushrooms... and he's all out of mushrooms.
