3. BEING PREPARED
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Here is a quick guide on getting prepared before going
up against the Giant Octo.

You should have the following equipped:

Y: Boomerang; The Boomerang is your most valuable 
weapon in this fight. You can use it to defeat the
Giant Octo's Eyes.

Z: Wind Waker; Ballad of Gales; This is your escape
incase you are about to run out of time and be 
swallowed.

X: Bow and Arrows; You need this for two reasons. 
1. Incase you are not very good with your Boomerang
you can use this.
2. You can attack with your arrows after you throw
your Boomerang for double attack speed and power!

4. TIPS FOR DEFEATING GIANT OCTO
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Look for a lot of seagulls circling an area of water.
This is where a Giant Octo is. Sail over to it and
you will be engaged in a battle with it. 

To defeat the Giant Octo have your Boomerang equiped.
Once you are in the fight lock on too as many eyes as
you can at once with your Boomerang and then let it
fly at the Octo. Each eye takes a few hits to defeat
so keep trying.

After it is defeated it will leave behind its Treasure.
You will have to use your grappling Hook to pull it up
though. Don't worry if you run out of time. It will 
just swallow you and then spit you back up.
