Interestingly, this boss' Japanese name is ''Jaianto'', roughly translating to "Giant", whereas the mole-like mace throwing enemy is the one named [[Guma]], which translates into Gooma. A possible translation mixup?

Template:Boss Gooma was the boss of the 5th palace in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. He was a giant with a spike helmet that swung a morning star at Link. Wearing no armor, his body was vulnerable, but not his head. To defeat Gooma, Link should dodge the spiked ball that Gooma throws at him, and then run up to Gooma, and hit him with his sword. Immediately step back to avoid getting hit with the spiked ball again.
