Gyorg (Boss)

Gargantuan Masked Fish: Gyorg (pronounced, ) is the third boss in , located in the Great Bay Temple. It is Gyorg who imprisoned the third of the Four Giants and is responsible for the waters of the Great Bay Coast becoming polluted and dangerous. This also causes an abnormal climate shift in the Great Bay area.

Strategy
After Link jumps down a hole in the boss room, he lands on a raised, octagonal-shaped platform surrounded by water. The camera switches to the view of a creature lurking in the water, which notices Link's presence and makes its move. It speeds towards the platform, jumps out of the water, and is revealed.

Gyorg will attempt to knock Link off the platform by ramming into it. If Link falls into the water and gets too close to Gyorg, it will swallow him and then spit him out, causing damage. Occasionally, Gyorg will leap out of the water and soar across the platform to hit Link. When Gyorg is about to attack, a rushing sound can be heard. Bubbles will also appear above him, allowing Link to anticipate Gyorg's attacks.

Partway through the battle, Gyorg will spawn smaller fish to distract Link in the water. If Link falls in the water, they will seek him immediately. Zora Link's electric barrier can be used to easily defeat them.

To defeat Gyorg, Link must use either his Bow or his Boomerang-fins in Zora form to stun him. He must then dive in the water to attack Gyorg. Zora Link's electrical barrier is particularly effective at this stage. Alternatively, Zora Link can stun Gyorg in the water using his fins or his electrical attack. Once Gyorg is defeated, it will shrink in size until there is nothing left, freeing the Giant who was imprisoned in Gyorg's body and returning Great Bay Coast to normal.

After defeating Gyorg, Link will receive Gyorg's Remains and a Heart Container. Also in Majora's Mask 3D, the boss has an eye inside the mouth, hinting an easy weakness or an extra weak spot to Gyorg.
