Volvagia

is the OoT3D: of the OoT3D: in. It is a red, serpentine dragon, specifically resembling an East Asian dragon or lindworm, with a pair of front legs, a rocky skull and pair of curled horns and a fiery mane, and was revived by Ganondorf to terrorize the Gorons.

OoT3D: was an ancient OoT3D: that lived in the depths of OoT3D: and was essentially the spirit of the OoT3D:. It was said that a legendary OoT3D: destroyed it with the use of the Megaton Hammer. By the OoT3D: of, OoT3D: revived the OoT3D: to secure the OoT3D: from intrusion. He also fed NaN Gorons to OoT3D: to make an example to other races that might revolt against him. Incited by the OoT3D: OoT3D:, OoT3D:'s son, the OoT3D: OoT3D: sets out to destroy OoT3D: to stop the OoT3D: from escaping the OoT3D: and turning OoT3D: into a burning wasteland.

When OoT3D: steps onto the main octagonal platform of the boss room, the room shakes and the small rectangular platform behind him sinks into the OoT3D:. OoT3D: then emerges from one of the nine OoT3D: pits on the main platform, briefly flying around the room and breathing OoT3D: before entering another pit.

The battle is designed akin to a game, as OoT3D: will emerge from one of the nine pits at random and OoT3D: must use the OoT3D: to whack the OoT3D: when it comes out. OoT3D: will emerge from the pits to either swing its fiery mane at him and then, depending on how far away OoT3D: is, breathe OoT3D: or slash at him with its claws, fly upwards to the ceiling and trigger a rockfall or fly after him while occasionally breathing OoT3D:.

When OoT3D: emerges to swing its mane, OoT3D: must strike its head with the OoT3D: after it does so to stun it before it attacks again and recedes into the OoT3D: pit. Once stunned with the OoT3D:, OoT3D: can slash OoT3D: with the OoT3D: or hit it on the head again with the OoT3D: until the OoT3D: recedes back into its pit. When it is flying, OoT3D: can use the OoT3D: to damage OoT3D:, though it cannot be defeated with this method.

After enough hits with the OoT3D: or OoT3D: while stunned, OoT3D: will be defeated. It will sink into the hole while clutching its head and emerge one last time, flying around erratically before its body burns into a skeleton from tail to head and its skull crashes to the ground, moving its jaw one last time before burning up and rewarding OoT3D: with a OoT3D:. OoT3D: then awakens as the OoT3D: and grants OoT3D: the OoT3D:.

In the, child Link purchases a baby Volvagia from the Hyrule Town Market, intending to set it free. Instead, Volvagia chooses to follow Link. Eventually, Volvagia learns to say Link's name in thanks for its freedom, and the two part ways.

When Link returns to Hyrule as an adult, Volvagia had been enthralled by Ganondorf into haunting the Fire Temple. Disheartened, Link is forced to slay his friend in order to both save the Gorons and put Volvagia out of its misery. With its dying breath, Volvagia whispers Link's name in thanks for once again being freed.

Later, as Link crosses the Haunted Wasteland, a spectre takes the form of Volvagia's disembodied head, suffering grievous pain, in an attempt to lure Link away from the safe path through the desert.
