Biography
Volga is a companion of the sorceress Cia, with whom he wages war on the Kingdom of Hyrule. At one point, he traded his soul to Cia for great physical strength.

Volga first confronts Link and the Hyrulean Forces after the Dark Forces lay siege to Hyrule Field. He descends upon the Abandoned Fort after the Hyrulean Forces attempt to secure it, initiating a fight. Link brings his health down to half, before Volga ends the battle and decides to kill Link for his interference. He attacks him with his transformed draconian arm, but is interceded by Impa. Volga attempts to destroy the two of them with a fire blast, but finds they had both survived by a magical barrier created from Link's Triforce of Courage that mysteriously appeared on his hand. Volga then retreats, allowing the Hyrulean Forces to resume their counterattack and to open the Mine Entrance, but swears that he hasn't been beaten.

After Cia opens the Gate of Souls to the different eras, Volga travels to Skyloft, where he leads the Dark Forces and terrorizes the inhabitants. He faces Link in combat again after Fi connects the islands of Skyloft with the help of Levias. Volga is eager to fight Link again, and just when he is about to be defeated, mocks him as he regains his health and grows stronger in strength and speed. He is however weakened after Link and Fi pray to the Great Fairy, who sends Fairies to bring Pumpkin Soup directly to Levias. Levias' electrical blast weakens Volga, allowing Link to defeat him and he again retreats. Until Levias intervenes, Volga cannot be defeated normally. Otherwise he will kneel for a moment before mocking Link and restoring all of his health again.

Volga again faces Link a third time at the Valley of Seers in the final battle against Cia. He appears shortly after the Hyrulean Forces pray to the Great Fairy, demanding that he fight with the Allies' commander and charges after Princess Zelda. She however talks back to Volga instead of fighting him, asking him how he can find joy in using dark magic to fight his battles. She says that she believed him to be a noble knight, and that he is being used by Cia's Dark Forces. Zelda's words manages to convince and snap out of his senses, and he denounces his alliance to the darkness as the Dark Power is pushed away from him. He resolves to fight Link one last time and advances toward him. Link defeats him again, and Volga admits his defeat but without regrets. It is implied that he perishes as he falls over.

Gameplay
Volga, in contrast to his cohorts Cia and Wizzro, favors swift, brutal power over finesse. His weapon is the Dragon Spear which is of the Fire element. His combos tend to be very quick but also strong with good crowd control. Many of his combos involve him changing parts of his body into his dragon form, such as turning his arm into a clawed limb that sends out a shockwave. His C4 combo is great for crowds and can be aimed, either focusing the blast or spreading it out. His final combo has him turning into his dragon form and divebombing the enemy, causing a huge explosion. Overall, Volga is a great character with no real weaknesses and easy to use.
