Manhandla probably hit me once or twice the entire fight.
And I use the magic boomerang a lot, its about the only thing I actually take the Roc Feather/Cape off for.
The Feather/Cape in the GB Zelda games are in my offhand slot 95% of the time, and if I need to change items I will take the SWORD off to use them most of the time, not the feather. The more time the feather spends in my A spot, the better. Sometimes I'll take it off to fling the Boomerang out in normal rooms to pick off or stun far away guys so they won't interfere, though.
