The few of you left in the Resurrection Chamber have been sitting and waiting for your chance to get back into the fray of battle. Some of you may have had an opportunity and failed, while others are itching for their chance. As you all sit in the room, a voice calls out to you. It tells you that at this time, you must prove you have what it takes for a chance at redemption. In some way or another you have failed to show that you can properly wield a sword and shield for combat.
This final challenge will test your ability to read your opponents in battle. As you all stand up, a virtual sword and shield are placed in your hand and a number of heart containers appear above your head. This is it, a battle royale, a final showdown. This will show what you have learned from the accumulation of your time in Hyrule. The ultimate sword training!
For those of you who have played Ready, Aim, Fire, this challenge will be fairly straight forward.
For the rest of you, here are the basic rules:
1. Each round you will choose one of three actions: Strike with a Sword, Parry a Blow with your Shield, or Bide your Time. Put simply, you can say "Sword" "Shield" or "Bide".
2. If you Strike with a Sword you must state who you are striking
3. After everyone has locked in a response, the mods will post the results.
4. Rounds will continue until only one player has lives left.
5. Once you've lost your last life you are dead and are eliminated from the challenge
6. If a round results in all remaining players dying then the round resets.
7. The number of lives you go into this with are determined by the following parameters:
a) All players enter this round with the lives they have left from the Resurrection Chamber
b) If you've just arrived you start with 2 like everyone else
c) If you have been here since Groovin W/Hestu then you gain +1 life
d) If you have been here since Broth of the Weld then you gain an additional +1 life
8. DO NOT DISCUSS THIS CHALLENGE WITH YOUR FELLOW ADVENTURERS.
9. You can "Bide" up to 2 times in a row, after which you MUST make another action of "Sword" or "Shield". If this rule is not abided by, the Guides of Hyrule may have to instill punishment, which I know you do not want
How to lose a life:
1. Being struck with a sword when you don't have a shield raised.
2. Raising a shield when no one attacks you (because it's a lot of work!)
Some generic scenario based things:
1. If you attack someone, they lose a life unless they have a shield raised.
2. If you attack someone and they attack you back, you both lose a life.
3. If you bide your time, you do nothing and are susceptible to a sword attack.
4. You can only lose at most 1 life per round.
If you have questions about how this challenge works or what scenario might play out, please ask a mod.
Best of luck adventurers, and may the best win!

As this is a multi-round game, we would like you to get actions in as soon as possible.
