The first shadow is also known as '''Giant Gel''', and is a giant [[Zol]], a common enemy throughout Link's travels on Koholint and [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|his]] [[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|previous]] [[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|adventures]]. The Giant Zol bounces after Link much like a normal Zol, and occasionally disappears into the ground only to appear elsewhere. While not particularly dangerous, at first the Giant Zol can seem impossible to destroy; striking it with his blade will simply cause it to shatter and reappear elsewhere. However, if Link simply sprinkles [[Magic Powder]] on it three times, it will be defeated and proceed to morph into its next form.
The {{Term|LANS|Giant Gel|link}} takes the form of a {{Term|TAoL|Bot|link}}, an {{Term|TAoL|Enemy|link}} from {{TAoL}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 202}}</ref> The {{Term|LANS|Giant Gel}} bounces after Link much like a standard {{Term|Series|Bot}}, and occasionally disappears into the ground only to appear elsewhere. While not particularly dangerous, the {{Term|LANS|Giant Gel}} is initially invulnerable, disappearing and reappearing elsewhere when struck. It can be defeated by having {{Term|LANS|Magic Powder|link}} sprinkled on it three times, which will cause {{Term|LANS|Agahnim's Shadow|link}} to appear.

The second form is a shadowy version of [[Agahnim]], the evil sorcerer from {{ALttP}}. This form can be defeated in the same manner as the true Agahnim, by playing a grueling game of [[Dead Man's Volley]]. Link must parry balls of magic back at Agahnim to cause damage. Similar to the true Agahnim battle in {{ALttP|-}}, some blasts of magic cannot be reflected, and will instead scatter, sending smaller bolts across the arena. Agahnim will however not use his lightning attacks or attempt to create fake copies of himself, nor will Link take damage from striking him with his sword like he did in the previous game. After hitting him with his magic enough times, he will spin on the spot before breaking apart and moving to the next form.
After the {{Term|LANS|Giant Gel}} is defeated, {{Term|LANS|Agahnim's Shadow|link}} appears, modeled after {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim|link}}, the evil sorcerer from {{ALttP}}. This form can be defeated in the same manner as the true {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim}}, by playing a grueling game of {{Term|LANS|Dead Man's Volley|link}}. {{Term|LANS|Link}} must parry balls of magic back at {{Term|LANS|Agahnim's Shadow}} to cause damage. Similar to the true {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim}} battle in {{ALttP|-}}, some blasts of magic cannot be reflected, and will instead scatter, sending smaller bolts across the arena. The {{Term|LANS|Agahnim's Shadow|display=Shadow}} will not use its lightning attacks or attempt to create fake copies of itself, nor will {{Term|LANS|Link}} take damage from striking it with his {{Term|LANS|Sword|link}} like he did with {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim}}. After hitting it with its own magic enough times, the {{Term|LANS|Agahnim's Shadow|display=Shadow}} will spin on the spot before breaking apart and moving to the next form.


If timed properly, Link can also use the [[Shovel]] to deflect Agahnim's blasts in a similar manner to how Link could use the [[Bug Net#A Link to the Past|Bug Catching Net]] to do so in {{ALttP|-}}.

In {{LANS|-}}, Link can also use an empty [[Fairy Bottle]] to deflect Agahnim's blasts in a similar manner to how Link could use an [[Empty Bottle]] to deflect [[Ganondorf]]'s blasts in {{OoT|-}}.
In {{LANS|-}}, Link can also use an empty {{Term|LANS|Fairy Bottle|link}} to deflect the {{Term|LANS|Agahnim'S Shadow|display=Shadow}}'s blasts in a similar manner to how {{Term|OoT3D|Link|link}} could use an {{Term|OoT3D|Empty Bottle|link}} to deflect {{Term|OoT3D|Ganondorf|link}}'s blasts in {{OoT|-}}.

The third form will be that of the first boss in {{LA|-}}, [[Moldorm (Boss)|Moldorm]], in technique and in attack strategy. The only changes are that there are no holes to fall down, and Link must strike the tail many more times than the original Nightmare he first fought in the [[Tail Cave]]. There is also another, more simple way to defeat the Moldorm; as Nightmare is switching forms, from Agahnim to Moldorm, Link may quickly and continuously slash the transforming mold, slowing and eventually halting the process. Only the head of the Moldorm will successfully form, and after more striking, the boss will simply change into its next shape, or at least sustain enough damage that Link will be able to defeat it quickly and painlessly as compared to its full-bodied form.

The fourth form is a Nightmare version of {{TLoZ|-}}'s archvillain, [[Ganon]], taking on his appearance from {{ALttP}}. The Shadow of Ganon will summon a flurry of [[Blazing Bat]]s in Link's direction before attacking with its [[Trident]] and moving across the room, much as Ganon did in {{ALttP|-}}. To defeat it, Link must use the [[Spin Attack]]. Alternatively, by using a combination of the [[Pegasus Boots]] and his blade, Link can charge at the shadow in a [[Dash Attack]] in order to defeat it. After about twelve hits with Link's normal sword it is defeated, and it shall morph into the Lanmola form.
