This is super cool! Also I think there are other ways to do the final hit on dark beast. If I remember correctly, it doesn't matter how you trigger bullet time for the final hit so you can bomb parry with the right timing to use the parry slow down frames right when the beam would hit ganon.

[@marceloamezcua223]

You can take it one step further and break Thunderblight's shield with the Master Sword. The blights have a mechanic where they disappear if you get too far away from the arena, and there is a neat spot in Hyrule Castle where you can trigger this behaviour. There is a broken Guardian in the ceiling that you can climb into and chill for a bit. Thunderblight will disappear and only come back when you jump down. He will then imediately teleport and resume the metal pillars attack. But if you spin attack at just the right time, you can break his shield before he moves and end that cycle. He will then fight you like normal, allowing you to defeat him with just the Master Sword. No boomerangs needed!

[@Limcube]

you can also just jump attack him from an updraft, but the boomerang is the easiest way for this ruleset
