I decided to do bosses and minibosses in different posts, and Vaati (The Final Boss) will get a post of his own.
Spiny Snow Ape - The first boss is a large, yeti-like creature with ten spikes on his back, fought in a large, empty, icy cavern. He has three main attacks, a double-fisted overhead pound, a one-armed side swipe, and he can roll into a ball and roll around. To beat him, remove a spike with the Hookshot, then hookshot to the exposed area (Hurry, you have seven seconds before the spike grows back!) and do a
TP-style cling and stab. After this, the spike will not grow back. As the fight wears on, he gets quicker to guard his back, making hitting a spike tougher. Repeat for all ten spikes.
Gorongo - Gorongo is a bipedal, half goron, half dodongo, fought on a raised sumo ring with a ring of rock surrounded by lava below it. You start by sumo wrestling him with the Iron Boots (You are taught how to wrestle by the gorons who give you the Iron Boots.) Once he is thrown out of the arena, he starts rolling in cirlces on the rock ring, and you must stop him with a bomb. Then punish him with fast sword attacks. He may start rolling again, so just bomb him. He also can attack you with slow punches or fire breath.
Jabunax - The corrupted Jabun is fought in an underwater cavern, empty except for seaweed. Jabunax resembles a giant
angler fish. To beat him, you must lure him into charging and ramming a wall, then you must shoot his lure with the Zora's Bow, while he's stunned. Repeat five times.
Deathsword - You enter a large room with a sword buried in the ground and a Redead in a coffin on the far side. The Redead awakes and shambles towards the sword. When he draws it, He becomes possesed by Deathsword. His head grows bull's horns, his shoulders become pointed, and a black cape grows from his back. He becomes faster, but loses his scream. He has two attacks. A heavy, close up attack, and a throwing attack. Before he throws his sword, it will flash between solid and spectral. You must use the Phantom Helm to be in the opposite form when he throws it. It then flies back to the Redead in the opposite form, so you must change too. If you were in the correct form both times, the sword impales the Redead, and you can slash at him. After three beatings, the Redead dies . . . again, and Deathsword comes out. He hasn't changed in appearance since
TP, but the strategy has. His sword can now harm you in either state, (Peggo flies in and points this out) but he can only be in one state at a time. You must match his state, but other than that, it becomes a straight up sword duel.
The rest is coming soon!
