Not to nitpick, but in several places on your site, it mentions that you have to
have the magical sword to defeat Gannon(or Ganon)in The Legend of Zelda.  This
just isn't so.  You can also kill him with the white sword, and even the brown
sword, it just takes more hits before you can shoot him with a silver arrow.  In
addition, you don't even need a sword at all until you reach Gannon.  I've
gotton thru both quests without using a sword at all until I got to Gannon.(the
magic wand is a great thing when you play like this)I got this idea from the old
ZHQ website.  A guy there named Conrad could do it in under 2 hours.  Just
trying to clear some things up.
