Gohdan

Gohdan is the guardian of the Tower of the Gods, and is the last test before the gods acknowledge Link as the True Hero. Gohdan is strong, however he has very few attacks.

Strategy
Gohdan has few, but powerful attacks. Quite often, he will try to punch Link into the electric pits on the side of the room, or perform a clapping move, striking Link from either side. To stop this, Link must shoot at the eyes on both hands with his Bow and Arrows, disabling them temporarily. After he shoots his hands, Gohdan's eyes become vulnerable. By shooting his eyes, Gohdan will crash to the ground, where Link must then throw a bomb into his mouth.

Should Link run out of arrows, Gohdan will dispense more out of his nose.

Trivia

 * Each time Gohdan is knocked down, his hands will recover faster than before.


 * Gohdan is very similar in shape and strategy to Bongo Bongo, a boss from Ocarina of Time and Ramrock, a boss from Oracle of Ages


 * Gohdan has similar weakpoints of Andross, an infamous boss from the Starfox series. Gohdan's hands also share similarities with Eyerok, the boss of Shifting Sand Lands in Super Mario 64.


 * Gohdan is the only boss in The Wind Waker that is not evil, and thus he does not explode upon his defeat. This boss simply returns to the wall it was embedded in at the beginning of the battle. This is also demonstrated by the fact that, once Link exhausts his supply of arrows or bombs, Gohdan will dispense more from its nose.


 * Gohdan's fire-spitting sound is a rather famous stock sound effect that is heard in many films, TV programs, and other games (most famous of which is probably the Doom II end boss).
