You know I am always amazed at how people who Let's Play A Link to the Past never knew that you can use the Ice Rod against Landmola for massive damage. The one I'm currently watching, Naka Teleeli who actually is doing an LP of it despite that April Fools day joke, thought you had to get the Fire Rod before the Ice Rod.
I find this especially weird since he has a vast knowledge of the glitches and speed running trick you can do in the game, and he's been playing the game since he was a kid. It just amazes me to no end, especially since my brother always used the Ice Rod against Landmola for as long as I remembered.
