Outside the castle, Ganondorf appears on horseback. He crushes Midna's crown in his hand, imposing that he defeated her back in the castle. Zelda calls upon the power of the light spirits and acquires the Light Arrows, which can be used to defeat Ganondorf. Link and Zelda ride Epona into battle, and she will assist you in this fight.
This fight is ANNOYING. I'm not sure if I'm just doing it wrong, but I always get hit while trying to avoid his initial attacks, and end up falling off my horse like 20 times before the end of the fight. Basically, you have to circle around him (so that you're chasing him) and stay close enough that Zelda can fire off her light arrows. Once she successfully hits him with an arrow, you can charge up a spin attack and charge right up to him for damage. When you successfully hit him, you can slow down a bit to get behind him while he recovers, and have Zelda shoot him again. Ganondorf can summon waves of phantom riders behind him that can sometimes be difficult to dodge, and sometimes it's just inevitable that you're going to get hit. The hard part, though, is actually getting behind him. When you get on the horse, he will stand directly in front of you and charge straight into you, which you must dodge and then circle around to get behind him; this can be really difficult due to the physics of the horse riding in this game, as turning around is really stiff, and he always seems to be able to hit me before I'm able to get behind him. Regardless...
Once you hit him a few times, he will fall off his horse. The final battle is next.
