Gyorg (Boss)

Gargantuan Masked Fish: Gyorg (Pronounced, ) is the third boss in Majora's Mask, located in the Great Bay Temple. It appears in the form of a giant chimaera. It is Gyorg who imprisoned the third of the Four Giants. Without its guardian deity, the waters of the Great Bay Coast become polluted and dangerous. This also causes an abnormal climate shift in the Great Bay area.

Strategy
Link will face off against Gyorg on a raised, octagonal-shaped platform surrounded by water, where Gyorg will be lurking. Gyorg will attempt to knock Link off the platform by ramming into it. Therefore, it is wise for Link to stay in the middle of the platform when Gyorg attacks. If Link falls into the water and gets too close to Gyorg, Gyorg will swallow him, 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 summon Garahnas to harm Link in the water.

To defeat Gyorg, Link must use either his Arrows or his Boomerang-fins in Zora form to stun him. He must then dive in the water and damage Gyorg with Zora Link's electrical barrier. It is also possible to stun him with the electrical attack while in the water. Once Gyorg is defeated, the Giant who was imprisoned in Gyorg's body will be freed, returning the Great Bay Coast to normal. Link also receives Gyorg's Remains, and, of course, a Heart Container.

The Minish Cap
A similar boss called the Gyorg Pair also makes an appearance in The Minish Cap. It is arguably the largest boss in the game, appearing in the form of a large, red manta ray, surrounded by smaller, yet identical rays of blue coloration. Link, at this time, has obtained the power to split into three forms, and upon reaching the Gyorg Pair atop the Palace of Winds, he must locate and annihilate the open eyes of the main ray, while avoiding it's attacks and interference by the smaller manta ray Gyorgs. Other than their names and the fact that they are both fish, the Gyorg Pair bears no similarities whatsoever to the Gyorg of Majora's Mask.
