{{Term|ALttP|Vitreous}} is the {{Term|ALttP|Boss|link}} of the {{Term|ALttP|Misery Mire (Dungeon)|link}} {{Term|ALttP|Dungeon|link}} in {{ALttP}} and the captor of the sixth {{Term|ALttP|Maiden|link}}. Allegedly all-seeing,<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= Vitreous sees all. |game= ALttP |publisher= Nintendo |page= 156 }}</ref> {{Term|ALttP|Vitreous}} is a colossal eyeball coated in ooze, surrounded by smaller eyeballs.<ref name="ALttP&FS Prima 79">{{Cite Guide|quote= Small eyeball guards protect Vitreous, a creepy eyeball that never sleeps. |game= ALttP&FS |publisher= Prima |page= 79}}</ref> It never sleeps.<ref name="ALttP&FS Prima 79"/> | |||
The main eyeball spends most of the battle immersed in the slime. If {{Term|ALttP|Link|link}} attempts to enter the slime, he will be hurt.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Touching the slime hurts Link, but it can be hard to avoid it in the confined space where Vitreous lives. |book= E |page= 211 }}</ref> Occasionally, {{Term|ALttP|Vitreous}} will shoot lightning at {{Term|ALttP|Link}} from its huge iris,<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= Vitreous emits huge blasts of lightning. |game= ALttP |publisher= Nintendo |page= 156 }}</ref> similar to one of [[Agahnim]]'s attacks, while the smaller eyeballs will continually attempt to swarm him, attacking one by one.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= The eyes surrounding Vitreous come out to attack Link first. |game= ALttP |publisher= Nintendo |page= 156 }}</ref> As each eyeball is eventually destroyed, the intervals between Vitreous' blasts of electricity will shorten. Once the smaller eyeballs have been taken out, the main eyeball will attempt to charge at Link.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= When the small eyes are gone, Vitreous emerges from the ooze to chase Link around the room. |game= ALttP |publisher= Nintendo |page= 12 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= Vitreous will emerge from its pool of slime to chase Link around the room after you defeat the little eyes. |game= ALttP&FS |publisher= Prima |page= 156 }}</ref> This giant, massive eyeball can be defeated with sword strikes, but can be kept at a distance using the [[Bow]], which also causes more damage.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= A direct attack with Arrows or the Sword will keep Vitreous at bay and will ultimately destroy it. |game= ALttP |publisher= Nintendo |page= 12 }}</ref> Defeating Vitreous earns Link a [[Heart Container]] and the sixth imprisoned [[Maiden]]. | |||
== | Alternatively, Link can also use the [[Magic Cape]] or the [[Cane of Byrna]] to dash right into Vitreous and attack him and the smaller eyesballs until it is defeated. The protective ability of these weapons allows Link to get through the dangerous slime and attack the mass of eyeballs while they are inside. | ||

{{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Vitreous}} makes an appearance in Chapter 9 of the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}. After {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Link|link}} falls for the {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Wizzrobe|link}}'s trap by heading into {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Misery Mire|link}}, the {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Wizzrobe}} conjures {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Vitreous}} from the swamp to devour him.<ref name="ALttP (Ishinomori) 12"/> However, as {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Vitreous}} approaches {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Link}}, a {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Whirlpool|link}} is created that engulfs both {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Vitreous}} and the {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Wizzrobe}}, and from beneath {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Zora (Ishinomori)|link}} appears to rescue the young hero. | |||

{{Noncanon|Start}} | |||
{{Term|ALttP (Himekawa)|Vitreous}} appears in a very different form in the {{ALttP|Himekawa}}. {{Term|ALttP (Himekawa)|Vitreous}} appears as a girl who was transformed into a cyclops monster by the {{Term|ALttP (Himekawa)|Dark World|link}} due to her spying on others.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=I was turned into a monster because of my habit of spying on others. How ironic that my curse can be of service to you.|book= ALttP (Himekawa)|publisher= |page=132}}</ref> She is friendly, and helps {{Term|ALttP (Himekawa)|Link|link}} and {{Term|ALttP (Himekawa)|Ghanti|link}} by telling them where {{Term|ALttP (Himekawa)|Zelda|link}} is hidden. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
Vitreous is called "Gerudōga" (Geldogger is | *{{Term|Series|Zol|link}} drop from the ceiling of a room below {{Term|Series|Vitreous}}, similar to how they drop from the ceiling before fighting {{Term|Series|Slime Eye|link}}, a similar {{Term|Series|Boss}}. | ||
*{{Term|Series|Vitreous}} is called "{{Romanize|ゲルドーガ|Gerudōga}}" (Geldogger is a rough translation) in Japanese. The suffix ''-dogger'', in addition to its eyeball appearance, connects it to {{Term|Series|Digdogger|link}}, a recurring {{Term|Series|Boss}} in {{TLoZ|Series}}. The prefix ''gel-'', pronounced with a hard G sound, is likely a reference to {{Plural|Series|Gel|link}}, whose name is pronounced with the same sound in Japanese rather than like the English word "gel." The beginning of the full name, possibly coincidentally, also sounds like a contraction of the ''geld-'' prefixes of the desert-dwelling enemies {{Term|Series|Geldarm|link}} and {{Term|Series|Geldman|link}}; although {{Term|Series|Vitreous}} is found in a swamp, its location in the {{Term|Series|Dark World}} corresponds to the {{Term|Series|Light World|link}}'s {{Term|Series|Desert of Mystery|link}}, which contains {{Plural|Series|Geldman}}. | |||
*In the deeper part of the liquid, there are four eyes who never attack. They are destroyed only when {{Term|Series|Vitreous}} is defeated. | |||
==Nomenclature== | |||
The name "Vitreous" comes from {{Wp|Vitreous humour|Vitreous humor}}, the clear gel found inside the eyeballs of vertebrates. | |||
