Yeah, because I'm replying late again! HUZZAH
I wasn't very good with the shield at first, so I would always die in important battles xD Though I got better at using it, even though I miss the timing sometimes (and the meter goes down). And the Hylian Shield does help a lot - you don't have to worry about it breaking, especially in the Demise battle. Oh my god the Demise battle...
Speaking of important battles, who was your favourite boss battle, and who's your least favourite?
My faves are Koloktos and Ghirahim, but not his third form; and my least faves are Moldarach and the Imprisoned. MOLDARACH ALWAYS GIVES ME TROUBLE, AND THE IMPRISONED IS JUST STUPID ;A;
