This creature is a man with a
horse's head, and he will be the very first real boss you meet in the
game -- He will try to take you out with a powerful spiked-hammer
attack, so be aware and avoid this as much as you can. To inflict
damage on him, simply jump and swiftly strike his head. If you
manage to successfuly strike him, he will be knocked back. His
armor is pretty heavy, so don't expect an easy fight! After a few
strikes he will be dead, and you will be ready to move on to the next
stage in the game!

Soon you will be facing another
kinght, only this one has three normal heads instead of one horse head.
To get a clear shot at him you must slash off three of his heads.
Use jumping and slashing techniques to do this. Be aware that each time you decapitate him the heads will fly around
like crazy and fire at you! Using the Shield spell in this battle is a
good idea, and should ease potential troubles you might have defeating
this guy. After a few good hits to his exposed head, he will fall.

Yet
another knight which you must defeat in order to conquer the Palace and revive another crystal.
What seperates this one from the previous two is that he brought his
horse and lance into battle, and that is the first thing you must take care of.
The horse will charge at you, so you must slash quickly and then jump
to avoid his attack as best you can. As soon as you have gotten the
knight back down on solid grown, simply treat him as a normal Iron
Knuckle!

This foe is
the master of all Wizzrobes, and as you know, all Wizzrobes will try to
devestate you with a powerful magic spell! Well, the Carock is no
different. No means of weapons will harm him at all, for his
skull necklace he wears around his neck protects him from physical
harm. The
way you need to go about
killing him is to use your Reflect spell, and give him a taste of his
own medicine. Although he seems like an overgrown Wizzrobe, he
isn't. His armor is much stronger than a normal Wizzrobe, and while most will succeed in
defeating him with ease, he should never be taken lightly.

This
giant is nothing is like nothing Link has ever fought before.
Gooma will try and protect his Palace with a ball
and chain, and a large one at that! The trick to defeating him is
to first dodge his attacks,
and then run up to him and slash him. From time to time he will wind up
a throw, and then you need to run as fast as you feet can carry
you! It is unfortunate because Gooma has a whole lot of armor, so
you can't afford to get hit more than a few times. It takes some
time to get into the rhythm of how much time
you have before he strikes, but when in doubt, run!

Finally
a real monster to test your skills on! However, the Barba is no
joke. He is a fiersome opponant that is a decendant of the
legendary Volvagia, which means he packs quite a punch! This
dragon resides deep below
the surface of the hot lava, so, needless to say, he is tough. To do
some damage to this creature, you need to sharpen your jumping skills
and use them to avoid his attacks, and when you see an opportunity,
slash his head and fall back onto your platform! Remember, his
head is the only place on his long body that will take damage from your
sword. It is important
to watch where you jump and to not fall to a fiery death Repeat
this process of attacking his face until he is
dead.

An
extravagant foe found in the final area of the Great Palace. The
Thunderbird is one of the smartest foes you have encountered thusfar,
for it practices the art of defense. You must equip and use
your Thunder spell immediately when the battle starts to weaken
him. His protective shell will now cease to work, and his face
will be exposed. A quick pace and jumping will get you through
this battle
alive, and don't forget to cast Shield. He is
extremely strong, and your sword is your only means of defeating
him. Remember, before entering this arena you will need a full
magic meter, so make sure to conserve for this fight!

The
evil wizard has cast Ganon's soul into the form of your own
shadow. This is most likely the hardest fight you will experience
in the game, as the shadow can virtually dodge anything you dish at
him. The most efficient way to destroy him is to duck and wait
for him to charge at you while in a corner. At this precise moment slash you sword
into him. Repeat this until he is gone, for he cannot resist, he must jump at him. The plot to revive
Ganon has now ceased, and Zelda will soon be revived, returning hope to Hyrule.
