Which OP is trying to do by asking how to defeat people who just throw out specials, only for him to receive no useful advice on how to overcome this obstacle and instead be presented with an extremely long-winded piece of navelgazing which contains no actual info. A sentence like "If you get hit twenty times in a row with bombs from young link, you just collected twenty interactions of data, given twenty opportunities to adapt and twenty chances to grow" is trash for a new player. If you don't understand the game and what tools are in your toolbox to deal with various situations, being presented with that same situation where you don't know what's the correct response 20 times isn't going to result in shit.
