Midna says:

To think that there was a monster lurking deep inside the temple...

These things will gobble up a little guy like you in one bite! If you don't want that to happen, you'd better keep your guard up!

show more...
When asked again

Those things look like idiots with their mouths open like that...

Put something in those things' mouths to shut them up!

After Link bombs one head

Eee hee! One more!

After Link bombs both heads

It...didn't like that...

I don't think it will be as easy this time around. Don't get eaten!

Once Ook appears

Hey, that guy... Isn't that the boss monkey?!

He brought an exploding bug! Maybe he's trying to help?

After Link uses the Gale Boomerang to retrieve a Bombling from Ook

Hey! Take that bug the monkey's holding and hit that thing in the head! Hurry or it'll snack on you!

Once Link uses one of Ook's Bomblings on a head

I think we have a chance...

That monkey's a good guy! Use his help and destroy this thing!

After Link enters Diababa's chamber, a large room with four waterfalls and a pool of poisonous water containing a large tree and two logs, the water will start to bubble and Diababa will emerge from the water.

The beginning of the battle starts with only the two smaller heads. Bomblings can be seen perched on logs floating in the water. Link can use the Gale Boomerang to make them collide with each of the two heads, with a single hit defeating each one. The heads will attack with a bite that can be easily avoided.

The second phase of the fight begins when the larger head bursts out of the water. After a few seconds, Ook appears and swings across the room carrying Bomblings for Link to use to stun Diababa's middle head, leaving its eye open for Link to attack with his Sword. Upon recovering, Diababa sprays poison at Link, which he must dodge. Link must repeat this process until Diababa is defeated. The two smaller heads will still occasionally attack. Link can choose to defeat them, but they will eventually regenerate. Upon Diababa's defeat, Link receives the first of the three Fused Shadows and a Heart Container.
