Characteristics and Weaknesses
The Legend of Zelda
In The Legend of Zelda, Dodongos appear as Bosses three times. They appear in groups of three in Level-2 of the First Quest as well as Level-3 and Level-8 of the Second Quest. Each group guards a fragment of the Triforce of Wisdom. Link must use Bombs to defeat the Dodongos, either by placing two Bombs in their mouth or by Bombing their side and hitting them once with his Sword. If they are defeated with a Sword, Link is rewarded with four Bombs. When defeated with Bombs, Dodongos may drop either a Heart, a Fairy or one Rupee.[note 1] After defeating the whole group, Link is rewarded with a Heart Container. Dodongos appear as enemies in Level-5 and Level-7 of the First Quest as well as Level-1, Level-4 and Level-8 of the Second Quest.
Oracle of Seasons
In Oracle of Seasons, Dodongo appears as the Boss of Snake's Remains. Link must equip the Power Bracelet to pick up and throw Dodongo into Floor Spikes after Bombing it.
Four Swords Adventures
Dodongos appear as a Boss in Four Swords Adventures in the Tower of Flames.

Notes
- ↑ If Link defeats 10 enemies without getting hit or teleporting with the Recorder, then the 10th enemy defeated will drop five Rupees. However, if the 10th enemy is defeated with a Bomb, then it will drop four Bombs. If Link defeats 16 enemies without getting hit or teleporting, then the 16th enemy will drop a Fairy. After the 16th enemy, Link must get hit and reset the counter to zero in order to achieve this effect again. Defeating Armos, Like Likes, Keeses or Gels will not be counted.[2]
