==Strategy==
==Characteristics==
Link must dodge the dragon's fireballs and tail by moving between the two possible positions. Using the [[tomahawk]], which is automatically equipped if Link has one, allows Link to inflict three times the damage of a [[sword]]. The fireballs will come down both positions at the same speed, but they are never sent at the exact same time, and Link must use this to his advantage to dodge them.
