'''Turtle Rock''' is a [[mini-boss]] in {{LA}}, and its [[Game Boy Color]] remake, {{LA|DX}}. At first it is actually a part of the [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock dungeon]], where it is seemingly made of stone and is blocking the entrance to the dungeon, akin to the entrance of the eponymous dungeon in {{ALttP}}. However, by playing the [[Frog's Song of Soul]], the stone will break and the head will come to life and will try to attack [[Link]] by extending its neck to slam into him, similar to the behavior of [[Trinexx]] in {{ALttP|-}}. Unlike Trinexx, Turtle Rock can be harmed by simply attacking with a sword, and is relatively weak. Once Turtle Rock is destroyed, the entrance to the dungeon is revealed.
