The one thing I hate about Skyward Sword...

Yeah. The first time you fight him? I never realized you could attack his toes. I went into full-on Shadow of the Colossus mode. He bucks you off if you take too long. In the first one it's easy to time it right (takes him forever to notice you're there), but in the second fight you should stun him just before you make the leap.

First time I fought his second form I was trying to hit his toes without using the grooseinator, took me ages because he makes a much bigger shockwave from his feet.

You can do it even then if you use the Skyward Strike from a ways in front of him - horizontal Skyward Strikes, if placed right, will just mess his feets right up.
