Dodongo

Dodongo in The Legend of Zelda
The second boss of the The Legend of Zelda is the earliest form of a Dodongo, the lizard-like creature. The Dodongo in the The Legend of Zelda is vulnerable to what all Dodongos are, bombs. A bomb ingested by the creature will explode inside its stomach. Two bombs will kill the beast, giving you the second piece to the Triforce of Wisdom

Dodongos in Ocarina of Time




In Ocarina of Time they are found in Dodongo's Cavern, the Dodongo is a slow enemy which will try to damage you by breathing fire. Swipe its tail with your sword at least two times, and it will explode! In Majoras Mask they are found north of clock town. They are larger than their OoT counterparts and subsequently take many more hits to kill.

Dodongo in Oracle of Seasons
The Dodongo makes an appearance in the Game Boy Color game Oracle of Seasons. The Dodongo in this game is vulnerable to what all Dodongos are vulnerable to, bombs. However, just having the beast digest the bombs in this game is not enough. Once the Dodongo eats the bomb, swallows, and has a little indigestion, grab the Power Bracelets and toss the beast into the spiked floor in the middle of the room. Repeat this process four times, and the second Essence of Nature, the Gift of Time is yours.

Dodongos in Four Swords Adventures


The Bosses of the Tower of Flames. Throw bombs into their mouths when they are about to breathe fire. After defeating them, you rescue the Green Maiden.

Dodongos in Twilight Princess
In Twilight Princess, Dodongos first appear in the Goron Mines and later, in other places throughout the game. These new iterations of a common creature in the Zelda series are a bit more reminiscent of a real world Gecko making them much smaller and slimmer than previous versions. They still breathe fire and the tail is still the weak spot, although an arrow directly aimed into their mouth will kill them instantly.

Dodongo references
Dodongo are well known because of a catchy phrase: "Dodongo dislikes smoke".
