Golden Sword, Mirror Shield, Red Mail, Bow and Silver Arrows, Lamp or Fire Rod, reserve Life and Magic Power.
Two bottled Faeries, and two bottles of Cure-All Medicine.
Free ride via Flute-Bird. Just follow Ganon down the hole.
When you defeat Agahnim again at the Tower of Ganon, Ganondorf reveals his true self, turns into a bat and crashes through the ceiling of the Pyramid of Power. When you follow him in, he ensures you that you will be destroyed shortly. HA!
He’ll start by spinning his trident, throwing it to another location, then vanishing and reappearing to catch it. Hit Ganon with the sword repeatedly, dodging the trident, and eventually he'll release some spinning fireballs that expand every few seconds. When the circle expands, you can get inside and strike Ganon again. Sometimes, when the circle retracts, the fireballs will turn into bats; try to avoid them if possible. When you hit Ganon with more sword strokes, he’ll jump up and pound the floor, causing part of the outer edge to collapse. Keep swiping at him, and he’ll pound the ground three more times. During this part of the battle Ganon will frequently move around, sometimes not stopping long enough for Link to attack him.
Once Ganon has pounded all four edges of the room in, he will use his “secret technique of Darkness”, which causes the torches at the bottom of the room to go out. You cannot see or hurt Ganon when both torches are out, and it is a lot harder to avoid the fire-bats when you can't see where they're coming from. This can put you in danger of falling off the edge of the floor, which, if you do, will force you to return outside and back through the hole, and start the battle all over again. (Not only that, but you'll likely have to re-stock your reserve Life and Magic before heading back in.) Anyway, provided you don't fall off the edge…
Light both torches with the Lamp (or the Fire Rod); lighting only one will make him visible, but not vulnerable. Once both torches are lit, Ganon will be blinded for a second or two, and then he’ll warp to another location. Quickly strike him with the Sword before the torches go out, and he’ll turn blue. Quickly switch to your Bow and Silver Arrows, and fire ONE arrow at him as quickly as possible. The Silver Arrows will ONLY hurt Ganon while he’s stunned, so if you miss, you'll have to light the torches again. You will have to stun him again to hit him with another Silver Arrow, but most likely the torches will have gone out by now, and you’ll need to light them again. (Actually, it is possible to stun and shoot him again before the torches go out, but very difficult.) Repeat this process until you have hit Ganon with four Silver Arrows, and he will be completely destroyed, opening the door to the Triforce.
Enjoy the ending!
