^Actually, I don't think he's that bad in brawl. I'm pretty good with him. I can occasionally beat lvl. 9's, and I've only owned the game for about two months. My other friend plays as Ike, who I find a really difficult character to be cuz he runs kinda slow and doesn't jump very well, but she's really good at being him and we're always a team on that game, me as link and her as ike. But anyway we're getting reeeealy off topic now!
Yesterday I decided that i didn't have enough time to do the Stone Tower Temple in MM, so instead I played OoT a little. I played through the shadow temple, not very thoroughly might i add, i didn't even bother to find the dungeon map. xD Anyway, overall not too difficult of a dungeon, however when i got in front of the boss door i realized i only had one heart left.
And once you get off that boat and go over the bridge to the side where the boss door is, you can't go back, and i smashed all the pots on that side that i could find and found no hearts, so i entered the boss room and died on the first attack. xP So I had to make my way through the entire dungeon again, collecting hearts to try to fill them before i re-entered the boss room, and then beating the boss was a piece of cake. Bongo bongo has always been an easy boss battle for me.
