Demon Train

The Demon Train is the name of the vessel used by Cole and Malladus, and a boss in Spirit Tracks. The train is first seen when Cole and Byrne appear in order to obtain Zelda's body for Malladus.

Strategy
During the first segment of the battle, Link rides parallel to the Demon Train, at which he will need to fire with the cannon at the bomb barrels that the train prepares to fire upon Link. The second cart will have laser-firing cannons, which must also be destroyed before they attack Link. These laser canons take two hits to destroy. Finally, Link will have caught up to the train's face, and then can proceed to attack, which must be repeated several times. Hitting each of the blue jewels on the side of the Demon Train's engine will cause the train to stop abruptly, allowing for easier access to the train's face.

During the next part of the battle, the train is not fought, however Link and Zelda fight Cole and Malladus, who has taken over Zelda's physical body.

Trivia

 * The face of the Demon Train resembles the face of Ganondorf, which led to it being commonly referred to as the 'Ganon Train' leading up to the release of Spirit Tracks.
