In-game, Sooga dual-wields large katanas with a focus on counterattacks. As a boss, he summons Yiga symbols around him. If the player attempts to attack him head-on, he'll respond with a powerful reprisal that slashes the player and any surrounding allies around him. | In-game, Sooga dual-wields large katanas with a focus on counterattacks.

As a playable character, he retains the use of his swords. Unlike Kohga, his fighting style is more straightforward and focuses on high speed and power with some of his Strong Attacks hitting enemies with additional invisible slashes after landing hits on them. His Unique Ability is the Unseeing Eye where he assumes a brief defensive stance which can be used even in the middle of combos. If he parries an attack, he responds with a counterattack. Every time he counters, the next reprisal will be powered up, up to a stack of three. His enhanced Ability powers up his normal attacks when his counter gauge is full. | As a playable character, he retains the use of his swords.

{{Term|HWAoC|Sooga}} and Kohga narrowly escape with their lives, but Sooga was injured at some point, and they both try to retreat. Sooga repeatedly asks Kohga to leave him behind, but Kohga insists that they fight on together. They are both chased by the Blight Ganons and a [[Malice Moblin]], as well as many monsters from Ganon's army, who they formerly fought alongside with during the game's events. They avoid Windblight Ganon and Thunderblight Ganon, but are forced to fight Waterblight Ganon and Fireblight Ganon. During this confrontation, Sooga makes a desperate move to protect the surviving Yiga and goes on the offensive, exclaiming that Kohga cannot protect everyone on his own. Eventually, they ward off the Blight Ganons, but Sooga's strength gives out after this and he is unable to continue, forcing Kohga to carry him. Sooga insists Kohga to leave him behind and save himself, but Kohga once again refuses, causing Sooga to remember his first encounter with Kohga. In this flashback, Kohga saves his life by ordering two Yiga Footsoldiers to leave him be, and feeding him a Mighty Banana, saving him from dying of starvation. | {{Term|HWAoC|Sooga}} and Kohga narrowly escape with their lives, but Sooga was injured at some point, and they both try to retreat.

They avoid Windblight Ganon and Thunderblight Ganon, but are forced to fight Waterblight Ganon and Fireblight Ganon. During this confrontation, Sooga makes a desperate move to protect the surviving Yiga and goes on the offensive (provided that Kohga prevented the monsters from causing the other Yiga alongside them to flee), exclaiming that Kohga cannot protect everyone on his own. Eventually, they ward off the Blight Ganons, but Sooga's strength gives out after this and he is unable to continue, forcing Kohga to carry him.

The Blight Ganons return, and Sooga, using the last of his strength, makes a final effort to sacrifice himself and repay Kohga by using a powerful Yiga technique that pins the Blight Ganons in place long enough for Kohga to escape, asking if he has paid Kohga back properly. | The Blight Ganons return, and Sooga, using the last of his strength, makes a final effort to sacrifice himself and repay Kohga by using a powerful Yiga technique that pins the Blight Ganons in place long enough for Kohga to escape, asking if he has paid Kohga back properly. | ||

He is heavily implied to have died here, but, curiously, he is able to stand and draw his blades after using his technique when he previously could not, implying he might have somehow siphoned energy from the Blight Ganons, becomes playable, and appears as an ally unit in future side missions, while also appearing in the second credits sequence, leaving his ultimate fate quite ambiguous. | He is heavily implied to have died here, but, curiously, he is able to stand and draw his blades after using his technique when he previously could not, implying he might have somehow siphoned energy from the Blight Ganons, becomes playable, and appears as an ally unit in future side missions, while also appearing in the second credits sequence, leaving his ultimate fate quite ambiguous. | ||
