The Geldarm lives in the desert and immerges from the ground when Link draws near.  If Link gets too close, it will reach to the sky in its defense and grow to be over twice Link's size!  Link can only inflict damage on the top of its head, so you must strike the bottom of it's body causing the Geldarm to burrow once again before you can get a clear shot of its head.  This desert creature is pretty harmless, but still watch out for them.


Goriyas are little demons that have existed in Hyrule for centuries.  Their main attacking pattern is to use some fancy footwork and throwing boomerangs.

These flying heads are much more tame than the flying dragon heads.  Wolf heads move slowly, but will fire projectiles at Link.  These are much easier to slash at with your sword because of their speed.  If there are a ton of Wolf heads in the area, it would be wise to use your thunder spell to quickly dispose of them.
