Blue Stalfos (Sub-Boss)

Blue Stalfos is the mini-boss of the Ancient Tomb, the eighth dungeon in.

Characteristics and Weaknesses
The only way to defeat this Stalfos is for Link to use his sword to return the red round ball of energy it shoots out at him. If Link manages to strike it with the ball, the Blue Stalfos will turn into a bat, allowing Link to damage it until it reverts to its true form. However, if Link gets hit by the ball, the young hero will turn into a slow moving baby that can not utilize any weapons until he returns back to normal.

Blue Stalfos will also fire out asterisk-shaped energy as well. These will only break and hurt Link if he tries to hit them with his sword. He will also slash Link with his scythe, but only if Link is turned into a baby.
