Zangestsu, voiced by the ever talented David Hayter, is pretty fast, but telegraphs his attacks. Despite this, I'd suggest maxing your potions (9) and a few Ethers, and whatever food you might have (I had Rice Balls).
First, my loadout:
First, my loadout:
- Claw of Onmoraki (2h greatsword, from 8-bit coin), though there are way better great swords (Flamberge, for example)
You may want to try a faster weapon if you're having trouble.
- Pirate Hat
- Brigandine armor, a reward from a quest
- 2x Rings, if you're having a ton of trouble, try a Safe Ring, it lowers your attack by 10, but increases defense by 15
- Gunman's Scarf

Zangetsu can counter jumps by doing a slashing uppercut, so be wary of you try to jump over him.
He attacks by teleporting (usually to the far side of you), and slashing, slide forward/step to avoid this.
When there's a moderate amount of space between you, he may use his whip to pull himself up and toward you, before slashing downward. Easy to slide under him.
A simple, easily telegraphed swing. Back step to dodge.
Once he has about 50% health, he enchants his blade with fire, dealing additional damage.
A counter, he will gesture to you and hold his blade up. Lasts several seconds, you can use a ranged attack without being hit.
The fight is pretty straight-forward, and as long as you don't get greedy when attacking, and wait for openings, you should take him out without too much trouble.He attacks by teleporting (usually to the far side of you), and slashing, slide forward/step to avoid this.

An 8 bit coin can be found behind a breakable wall in the village after you fall through the roof and floor. I choose the same equipment as you but used the Encrypted Orchid.
