Zelda Help - B4 I go bald !!! (Spoilers)

I'm on the part where you need to protect the caravan from the 3 teams of goons riding pigs and the birds dropping the bombs,

Must have done this 25 times now , so from what i can see i need to get rid of the baddies b4 the turn in the road , this is ok for the pig riders but the bird always drops a bomb and makes the caravan stray off for another lap.

I have a feeling that if u dont get it 1st time its curtains after that cuz ur just trying to put the fire out ect.

Anyone got a surefire stratagy for this one?

Took me ages to finish that one. There was one bomb dropping bird I missed but didn't notice for ages, he didn't seem "involved" in the fight. After I killed him the caravan moved on.

Not 100% sure, but thats how it seemed to work for me.

make sure you have the bow and the gale boomerang (or whatever the hell it's called) mapped to a button before you start the mission, and a plentiful supply of arrows.
then just take out the birds with arrows (lock on to them using the Z trigger), and the pig riders with your sword (quicker to use arrows on them too, though)
equip the gale boomerang and lock on to the caravan with the Z trigger if it catches on fire

Just keep in mind that the caravan can stay on fire for a good while, focus on hitting the pig riders (without the riders the pigs freak out and will probably hit their comrades) and the birds. Save your arrows for the birds.

i'm still trying to do this, well over 30 attempts at this stage

wow!!!! i must've been really lucky, i did it on the first go. i focused on using the gale boomerang and z-locking onto the caravan everytime it caught fire. i think that's all you need to worry about , just focus on keeping up with the caravan and make sure you have the boomerang ready to use.

Yes i sucked at this as well. Then my little brother helped me do it lol.

This is one of the moments I was pleased to own the GC version . I'd wager this is fairly tricky to pull of using the remote.
Just try to wipe out as many of the pig-like fellows before the birds show up. You should be able to lock on to the birds and just keep firing arrows. You should only have to get around 3 or 4 of them, so you can afford to waste a few arrows (which you will if you are not manually aiming). It is a hard part to give tips about, but if you just learn the strategy and timing, you should get there in time.

I passed this one my first try with no trouble.
I didn't even let the caravan go on fire more than once.
The way I did was just as everyone else said keep the Boomerang and the Bow and Arrows equipped, then just smack the crap out of the pig riders with your sword, and whenever a bird flies near you lock onto him with Z targeting and impale the fecker.I never thought there was anything else to it.
I found it easier when I ran quite a bit ahead of the caravan at times to clear the way slightly then peg it back to make sure it's not being attacked from behind.

Found this an absolute walk in the park. Can't believe people are having trouble. Didn't realise for ages that you could put the caravan out if it was on fire and still managed it easily. Just beat up the pig riders, arrow the birds and put the fire out whenever it happens.

ok as some one else about said they did it 1st go, it would seem that i infact am an idiot and wasnt z targeting correctly. i was aming 1st then hitting z and not the other was around once i did aim correctly it was a breeze
