Puppet Ganon

Puppet Ganon is a giant puppet controlled by Ganon in The Wind Waker. The battle is a precursor to the main event with the real Ganondorf in Ganon's Tower.

First Form: Puppet
The first form of the monster is similar in appearance to Beast Ganon in most of the 2D games, giant and boar-like. He is defeated by cutting his strings with the boomerang and striking the blue orb on his tail with Light Arrows.

Second Form: Spider
Puppet Ganon will then transform into a spider, the spider will go up in the air preparing to slam down on Link. Go into the water so the spider's reflection is visible to see that he is spinning. When he stops spinning that means that he is coming down. Link can't dodge it completely, but has to go in the spaces between his eight legs, preferably the back two. When Link dodges it, he must run around to the back of the spider and shoot the glass ball with a Light Arrow. Do this a couple more times and he will turn into a Moldorm-like form.

Third Form: Moldorm
The snake will go all over the place going faster and faster. Link can try to slash the snake in the face to make him stop temporarily. However, that is way too risky, and the best chance at beating the snake is by keeping against wall and trying to take out the ball on the Moldorm's tail. After defeating Puppet Ganon, Link will gain access to the real Ganon. Link can also throw All-Purpose Bait to distract Puppet Ganon. Alternately, Link may attempt ro use a well placed bomb or the Skull Hammer to stun the boss.
