Aquamentus
Template:Boss Aquamentus is a recurring Boss in The Legend of Zelda series. It is a dragon with a horn on its head.
Strategy
The Legend of Zelda
Aquamentus appears as a Boss three times in The Legend of Zelda. It appears in Level-1 and Level-7 as well as Level-1 of the Second Quest. It guards a fragment of the Triforce of Wisdom. Aquamentus slowly walks back and forth and periodically shoots a group of three fireballs out of its mouth.[1] Link can block the fireballs with a Magical Shield. Link can damage Aquamentus with a Sword or Bombs, but can also attack from a distance by throwing his Sword, shooting the Bow and Arrow or using the Magical Rod. Aquamentus is immune to Boomerangs and Fire. When it is defeated, a Heart Container will appear and Aquamentus may drop either a Heart, a Fairy or one Rupee.
Oracle of Seasons
Aquamentus is once again the Boss of the first Dungeon, known as Gnarled Root Dungeon, a Dungeon that resembles Level-1 from The Legend of Zelda.[2] In addition to its attacks from The Legend of Zelda, Aquamentus now has the ability to charge across the room. After dashing and slamming into the wall, Aquamentus flies back to the right side of the room. Before emitting beams, its horn will glow. Upon the dragon's defeat, Link receives a Heart Container and the first Essence of Nature, Fertile Soil.
Non-canon Appearances
The Legend of Zelda Game Watch
Aquamentus is the Boss in each of the four Dungeons from The Legend of Zelda Game Watch, but is referred to as simply "dragon". It can only be defeated using a Bomb.
BS The Legend of Zelda
Aquamentus appears in BS The Legend of Zelda.
Oracle of Seasons Manga
Aquamentus makes an appearance in Oracle of Seasons alongside various other enemies and Bosses from the game. They swarm all at once with Aquamentus leading the charge, while Ricky attempts to protect Link by putting him in his pouch and attacking with Tornado Punches. Aquamentus breaths fire and while Ricky attempts to block the flames with his tornadoes, he is overwhelmed and defeated. It would have been a lost battle if it was not for the appearance of Moosh, who awakes from hibernation at just the right moment to give them a ride to safety at extremely high speed.
The Legend of Zelda TV Series
An Aquamentus is depicted as a horse-like monster in the "Underworld Connections" episode of The Legend of Zelda TV series. Just as Link is retrieving a shard of the Triforce of Wisdom while swimming in the Black Falls, an Aquamentus appears out of a dark, underwater cave. The Aquamentus takes him to the surface while Link is riding on top of it, struggling.[3] Princess Zelda then grabs a Bomb from Link's pouch and throws it at the Aquamentus, which instantly defeats it.[4]
