I had been trying for AGES to get that freaking treasure chest too! DDDDDD< OMFG I spent an HOUR JUST TRYING TO GET OVER THE RAIL :suicide:
... I never thought of using that stupid spinner.
And as for lizthenekoqueen's first question - If you are still having trouble with it, here's what I did, see if it helps. I don't think there's an easier way around them, you can't attack them with anything from the top ledge, and yeah Dx they're pretty tough. The only thing I can think of is this: Fill two bottles with gold chu jelly (it fills your heart gauge and ups your attack shortly) and one with a fairy in case of emergencies. If you have all four bottles (but I don't think you get the fourth one until the end of the cave, I don't remember), then two faries and two gold chu jellies. Make sure all of your ammo is full, arrows, all bomb bags full with regular bombs, and start on your way down the cave. Look at the enemy below you in the next level and see if you can attack it from the ledge before you jump down, this will often times save you from losing some hearts. If you can beat it from the ledge, then do so. Then keep going through. Those freaky Skeleton things that rise up and screech at you, you can kill with two swings of the Ball and Chain, so there's a big life saver (because you can kill them at a distance without being screeched/swung at). Just thought I'd throw them out there because they're probably the next-hardest things to kill. Plus we want to save as much life as we can for the Dark Nuts. Then when you get to the Dark Nuts, try and take on only one at a time. Fall as close to the entrance as you can, so you don't wake up the others, and try not to move too close to them while you fight the first one (USING YOUR SHIELD IS KEY, it throws you off-balance, but it at least saves your hearts). If all three end up moving, since they do so so easily, then target one and wait for it to swing at you. Once it starts, do the roll-around attack thing (I forget what it's called Dx) to hit it from behind. Ignore the other two, but try and just dodge their swings. Work on only one at a time. If you try to take out all three, it gets very hard to attack and dodge all three whilst trying to keep yourself alive x.x . So yeah, focus on them one at a time. Then when one dies, it gets easier from there. Just remember; dodge their attacks, only attack back at one at a time.
