I am absolutely in love with my Micro. Though the battery doesn't hold a charge for as long as it used to, it kind of makes me sad 
You can get new batteries from various places. I'm not sure how good the third-party ones are but they seem to be more prolific than the official ones. They seem pretty easy to replace as long as you have a small enough screwdriver to remove the battery compartment.

I only played Oot (on emulator) recently, in fact only defeated Ganon yesterday, and I found it to be a really fantastic game.
i'm glad you enjoy it, i suck at games like that, i got stuck on the dude in zora's zone, the boss that you have to chase and somehow fling the boomerang at his butt while avoiding the spiked walls. i got that far and after getting thrashed many times by him, or getting spiked nearly to death. that game was lucky i didn't use it as target practice. by the way i had the gamecube version. just out of curiosity how the bloody crap do you beat him. cause i swear i couldn't stay locked on, shoot the boomerang, run, and avoid the spikes at the same time.
i swear i won't go off topic anymore after this, i just need to know or it will drive me crazy.
if anything just pm with answer before i get banned here.
You mean that giant octopus? He is a little tricky. Basically you have to run around, while running stay as close to the inner spike wall as possible. You may get nicked a few times, but it's the only way to catch up to him. Finally when you see Navi highlight him in yellow, hold down Z and tap the C button your boomerang is assigned to, as fast as you can. The way the Z targeting system works, as long as you're still locked just throwing the boomerang randomly will hit it. Afterwards slash with sword. Also, if the inner wall starts spinning the opposite direction, turn around. You always want to be traveling the opposite direction of the inner wall's spin, otherwise you'll end up in it's mouth for big damage. I would also pack some bottled items for health, at this stage a bottle of Lon-Lon Milk will probably be enough.

It should also be noted that you can get a headstart on this boss by turning around immediately and hitting him in the face with the boomerang. It doesn't matter where you hit him, he still gets stunned.
With that said, I go through Zelda marathons every year in the winter time. I've beaten Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask at least once per year for the last five years, not to mention countless times when I was younger and the game just came out. None of the bosses are really "difficult" to me, though I'll openly admit that they got easier as the series went on(Wind Waker has, to me, some of the easiest bosses ever to appear in a video game).
Also, one of the biggest reasons Sega failed was due to its poor marketing strategies. Sony fell into a similar trap at the beginning of the PS3 campaign.
