Manhandla

Manhandla in The Legend of Zelda
The third boss of The Legend of Zelda is Manhandla, a spinning flower with the ability to spit fireballs. The flower will try to devour Link with its four "hands" as Link tries to dispose of it. The hands weigh the boss down, causing it to move slowly and allowing Link to either slash at them with his sword or exploding them with bombs. However, as each hand is destroyed, the beast gains more speed. A cleverly placed bomb at the center of the flower will rid the boss of all four hands in a single blow. The third piece of the Triforce of Wisdom is your reward.

Manhandla appears again as a mini-boss in the Snake Labyrinth, and the Lion Labyrinth.

Manhandla in Oracle of Seasons
In The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, Manhandla is the boss of the Ancient Ruins, the sixth dungeon. Manhandla starts out by spitting four fireballs at you. The flowers can only be damaged by using the Magical Boomerang when they are open. When Manhandla loses all four flowers, it runs around the room very fast in a "figure 8" motion. Link has to continually hit Manhandla with the Magical Boomerang to expose its core. At that point, Link has a small amount of time to use his Sword to destroy Manhandla's core and defeat it. When Manhandla is destroyed, Link receives a Heart Container and the Blowing Wind, the sixth Essence of Nature. Note that the body is now a large Buzz Blob, very similar the Giant Buzz Blob Mini-boss from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening's Color Dungeon. Also note that the four plant heads now look and act very similar to the Mario series's Piranha Plant.
