Template:Boss Barba is the Boss of the Three-Eye Rock Palace in The Adventure of Link.[1]

Characteristics

Barba is the guardian of Three-Eye Rock Palace, where Link must place the last of the six Crystal shards in the temple's statue in order to dispel the barrier on the Great Palace. Its room is unique among bosses in the game in that it contains three pits filled with lava. It rises from the depths of the lava and directly into the air, keeping its head away from the range of Link's Sword. It breathes a stream of fire at him. Its attacks will often knock Link into the lava if he is hit, so Link must time his jumps to avoid the flames. Barba can be beaten if Link uses the Jump Magic to leap into the air and strike the dragon on its head. It is also possible to defeat it by using the Jump Thrust, though this method is more risky, as it is easier to fall into the lava.
