Zaganaga appears as the boss of the Desert Palace. After going through the dungeon, [[Link]] enters a crack leading to the area's equivalent in Lorule, where the boss resides. The arena consists of several stone pillars standing atop quicksand, making the [[Sand Rod]] a necessity to reach and fight Zaganaga. The upgraded version of the rod is recommended, as the walls of sand it creates don't dissipate. Zaganaga moves from pillar to pillar, erupting from them to attack Link. During this time, it is also vulnerable to Link's sword slashes and other weapons. Occasionally, Zaganaga will release several creatures that will try and attack Link, which should be dispatched quickly.  


After taking enough damage, Zaganaga's flower will bloom, exposing its eyes. It will then become much quicker, and will start shooting large streams of sand at Link. These streams have a long range and can damage Link and push him off of the pillar he is standing on, so it is advised to attack the boss as soon as it comes out of the sand, quickly retreat until the blast is over, and repeat the process. After the monster is defeated, a wall drops which releases sand, dissipating the quicksand and revealing Irene's painting.

Zaganaga is the Boss of the Desert Palace in A Link Between Worlds.[1] It appears as a monstrous, plant-like creature with a spiny, cactaceous body.

Characteristics

The battle against Zaganaga takes place in a large, enclosed pit of Quicksand residing in Misery Mire, which is accessed by a Fissure placed just outside the final room of the Desert Palace in Hyrule. The enclosure features eleven scattered columns which act as platforms Link can stand atop, using his Sand Rod to create bridges between them.

At the start of the battle, Zaganaga will burrow into the Quicksand and toward one of the platforms at random, emerging on top of it. Link must make his way toward it using the Sand Rod and strike it with his Sword or other weapons. While Link traverses the Quicksand pit, Zaganaga will begin to spew Peahats that will flutter around the arena, attempting to knock Link into the Quicksand, but which can be dispatched with a single hit from the Sword. Zaganaga will burrow back into the Quicksand after several seconds or after being hit several times, then move toward a different platform.

After taking enough damage, Zaganaga will flare its petals, revealing eyes attached to its inner petals. Its movement speed and its rate of spawning Peahats will increase, and it gains a new attack of firing a steady blast of sand toward Link. Zaganaga will attempt to keep this blast aimed at Link, but its slow rotation speed allows Link to outrun the attack by using the Sand Rod wisely. Several more hits with the Sword will defeat the monster. Afterward, a sand-filled hutch at the arena's north edge will open, spilling all of its sand into the pit and revealing a Heart Container and the Painting of Irene buried inside.
