Morpha is a very motile boss, meaning Link must keep moving during this battle, especially towards the end, if he is to survive. The nucleus | Morpha is a very motile boss, meaning Link must keep moving during this battle, especially towards the end, if he is to survive. The nucleus churns the water below and rises within the center of one of its created tentacles. While the amoebic liquid is impossible to penetrate when in large concentrations in the pool, whenever a single arm rises and latches upon the land, the liquid becomes thin enough to pierce with the spike of the [[Hookshot]]. Link must hook the nucleus, and slash at it while it is on land during its [[Critical Point]], the time in which it is entirely vulnerable and clear of any ameobic fluid. Morpha eventually adapts to the battle and grows a second tentacle, using it to distract Link from latching on to itself again. Just like with the single tentacle, the second one can grab Link, swing him about, then chuck him at the spikes at the edge of the arena, causing surplus damage. Though the battle becomes a bit more urgent as the second tentacle grows, the technique used to defeat Morpha remains the same: Link must continue to hook the nucleus and smash it, continuously, while it is bouncing about on land. After injuring Morpha's nucleus several times, the core bursts in a spray of water. The tentacle clings to life as long as it can by using up all the water in the central pool, and by attempting to drain and escape through the ceiling. Once it sucks up all the water in the pool, the tentacle culminates in a single water droplet on the ceiling and drops to the floor, splattering in all directions. | ||

*Morpha can be very easily defeated by using the [[Longshot]] to pull it, and keep doing so when approaching the corners of the room to avoid it escaping. Link must repeatedly slash at it while trapped in the corner to defeat the boss quickly, and often injury-free. | *Morpha can be very easily defeated by using the [[Longshot]] to pull it, and keep doing so when approaching the corners of the room to avoid it escaping.
