'''''Twilit Ice Mass:'' Blizzeta''' is the [[boss]] of [[Snowpeak Ruins]], the fifth dungeon of {{TP}}.

For some reason, after a few hits with the Ball and Chain, the ice starts to take a shape not unlike that of a giant [[Mini Freezard]].

Blizzeta has two main forms during the battle. She will first take the form of a large iceberg and will slowly follow [[Link]] around the icy chamber in attempt to deal contact damage. The [[Ball and Chain]] must be used to chip away at the layers of ice and eventually damage her. After each hit, Blizzeta slides around the chamber at greater speeds, occasionally summoning a ring of [[Mini Freezard]]s around her and launching them at Link. After enough hits, Blizzeta is briefly freed from the ice.

Blizzeta will then rise into the air and let out a scream, encasing herself within another ice barrier surrounded by huge ice spikes. The camera switches to an overhead view, where reflections of Blizzeta and the ice spikes can be seen in the icy floor as they hover over [[Link]] and attempt to crash down on him. After the ice spikes fall, Link can break them with the Ball and Chain, sometimes releasing recovery [[Heart]]s. They can also form a circle around Link in order to trap him for Blizzeta's attack. When she falls, Link can attack her with the Ball and Chain as well.
Blizzeta has two main forms during the battle. Her first form is reminiscent of an enormous [[Wikipedia:Matryoshka doll|Babushka/Matryoshka doll]]. She spins around the chamber, and the [[Ball and Chain]] must be used to chip away at the layers surrounding her until barely anything is left. Afterwards, she encases herself within another ice barrier and rises into the air, summoning huge ice spikes around her, which will hover over Link and attempt to impale him. After they fall, Link can break them with his Ball and Chain, and tries to vanquish as many as possible while they're down, as afterwards they proceed to rise and form a circle around Link to trap him, so Blizzeta herself can attack. When she falls, Link can swing away at her just like the other spikes. By doing this three times, she is finally defeated.
 
By attacking Blizzeta three times with the Ball and Chain, she will be defeated. After the fight, Yeta's husband, [[Yeto]], appears and embraces Yeta as she recovers, releasing a flurry of Hearts and a [[Heart Container]] around them.

*Since the only weapon that can be used on Blizzeta to cause any damage is the Ball and Chain, this boss does not experience a [[Critical Point]], or a narrow space of time where Link is able to strike at a boss in fatigue, or other state, denoted by a triumphant music change.

*When the ice masses surrounding Blizzeta are hovering in the air, they sometimes drop [[Recovery Heart]]s. These recovery hearts, along with those released by Yeto and Yeta when they embrace, are the only recovery hearts in the entire dungeon.
Blizzeta's name is a portmanteau of "Blizzard" and "Yeta".
*The 360 degree head rotation and subsequent appearance change in Yeta that occurs as a result of her possession by the Mirror Shard may be a subtle reference to the universally-acclaimed horror film ''[[Wikipedia:The Exorcist|The Exorcist]]'', in a similar action that is first seen as Regan's character is fully possessed by the Devil towards the end of the picture.

*When defeated, Blizzeta, along with [[Diababa]], share a different "Boss Clear Fanfare" in comparison to the other bosses in ''Twilight Princess''.
*Blizzeta and [[Fyrus]] are the only bosses in ''Twilight Princess'' that are not completely destroyed after defeat. This may be because they were originally friendly beings, whereas most of the other bosses were originally enemies.
*Blizzeta's name is a portmanteau of Blizzard and [[Yeta]], the name of her original form.

Blizzeta has two main forms during the battle. She will first take the form of a large iceberg and will slowly follow Link around the icy chamber in attempt to deal contact damage. The Ball and Chain must be used to chip away at the layers of ice and eventually damage her. After each hit, Blizzeta slides around the chamber at greater speeds, occasionally summoning a ring of Mini Freezards around her and launching them at Link. After enough hits, Blizzeta is briefly freed from the ice.

Blizzeta will then rise into the air and let out a scream, encasing herself within another ice barrier surrounded by huge ice spikes. The camera switches to an overhead view, where reflections of Blizzeta and the ice spikes can be seen in the icy floor as they hover over Link and attempt to crash down on him. After the ice spikes fall, Link can break them with the Ball and Chain, sometimes releasing recovery Hearts. They can also form a circle around Link in order to trap him for Blizzeta's attack. When she falls, Link can attack her with the Ball and Chain as well.

By attacking Blizzeta three times with the Ball and Chain, she will be defeated. After the fight, Yeta's husband, Yeto, appears and embraces Yeta as she recovers, releasing a flurry of Hearts and a Heart Container around them.

Trivia
