Dera Zol

Dera Zol is the boss of the Talus Cave in. It is a large slug-like creature that attacks by jumping up and down trying to crush the heroes. To defeat the beast, the Links must charge into it using the Pegasus Boots and push it into the back wall, freezing it. At this point the heroes can slash at it with their swords to cause damage.

After hacking away at the frozen Zol enough, it will suddenly turn into a smaller creature similar to an Octorok. This form then blows up four balloon-like spheres to surround it. Striking these spheres will electrify the heroes, unless Link attacks the orb that matches his own color. However, each Link can only see the color of one orb that does not correspond to his tunic, meaning the players must work together to deduce which sphere they can strike. After dealing this form enough damage, Dera Zol will explode.
