Sub-Boss

, also known as,   ,  and ,  are generally particular enemies harder to defeat that protect an item within a Series:.

Characteristics
NaN Sub-Bosss usually protect an item within a Series: or other locations. Most of the time, they must be defeated to proceed within a Series: or area. A common characteristic that distinguishes a Series: from a regular enemy is a particular battle theme played during the encounter, which is different from the usual enemy theme. They may return later as common enemies, likely because Series: will have new tools and weapons to defeat them more easily. They may come in groups, as in the case of common enemies. If they are fought in a room, the doors usually lock until they are defeated.

Almost every TLoZ: is eventually fought again as a TLoZ:, as they no longer guard NaN Heart Containers or TLoZ: fragments in their later appearances.
