Margit is DEAD his castle will soon be mine.
I figured that I was too weak in strength but this was not the case. Although the new sword and shield I found also made a difference. And the Jellyfish to distract his stupid ass
In the end though I finally figured out I was just slow and sluggish. I removed most equipment to just a sword and shield so I could roll and run faster (and keep more stamina, a stat I admit, I pretty much ignored)
Turns out that was the key to dodging those cheap ass combo's.
Also I just realized what this game is.
Remember 2014?
Reggie said: "Here's one more world for Nintendo GameCube" and it looked like a big ass open world Zelda game heavily inspired by LOTR, D&D and all sorts of other RPG stuff. Aonuma acknowledged this in interviews.
Saying that for the first time in the Zelda series, bosses would not be limited to dungeons and animals would play a huge part in the story. Not to mention dungeons could be played in any order.
Then Shadow of the Collusus came out and me and my brehs went like: "Damn, imagine a game like this but not just the giants but towns and enemies and everything in between, Zelda is going to be amazing"
Of course Zelda 2014 became Zelda TP, which was a good game but not open world and very different from the beta. And all the other open world games went into the icon and busywork Ubisoft direction.
Which was fun also but just not the same. Finally Witcher 3 hits and it's a great and awesome game, again takes a few of those cues to move it away from the Ubi structure but yet again not 'everything'.
Nintendo has a second try with Breath of the Wild. And by god that is an amazing game. At the same time it is held back by some Nintendo decisions. It is difficult yes but the main storyline and bosses are fairly simple.
Also your sword breaks every 2 seconds for no real reason and there's a lot of elements not really fleshed out. The rewards are mostly limited to gear or powering up either your equipment slots, stamina or health.
Finally we have Elden Ring. The promised game. The best game.
