What’s your favourite method for dealing with gloom spawn?

I actually really enjoy the Phantom Ganon part and have defeated every one of them at least once, just for the completionist satisfaction. You can also practically melt him with the master sword which is fun. However, how do you like to deal with the gloom hands phase? I basically just spam bombflower arrows until they’re gone, fighting each of them individually takes me ages, I get a ton of gloom damage from stepping in their gloom puddle and it eats through my weapons.

Was that the intended way or was that part basically just a deterrent to get us to avoid them?
