Biography

Harlequin is an anthropomorphic pig who wears jester-like clothing and is a gambler, as well as a minion of Ganon. He enslaves Koridians by turning them into Goriya minions after they lose all of their Rubies while gambling at his casino, the Harlequin Bazaar.[2] For unknown reasons, he also has Odranoel the astronomer imprisoned at the end of his bazaar. The source of his magic seems to come from the heart-shaped insignia on his sleeve, which releases a yellow beam. Harlequin also demonstrates the ability to disappear and re-appear in puffs of smoke. Link defeats him, who deflates like a balloon and drops the key to the astronomer's room. He is fought again in the Lupay area in the same way and is defeated.

Strategy

Harlequin has a simple pattern where he moves back and forth in the corner of the room he appears. He constantly throws projectiles at Link when he is within his line of vision, however these can be blocked by Link's Shield. Like most bosses in The Faces of Evil, Harlequin is defeated with just the Sword and takes only one hit aimed at the head. Although while he seems to possess the ability to vanish in his cutscenes, he remains visible all through his battles.

Trivia

  • Harlequin is similar to the The Wand of Gamelon boss, Hektan. Both bosses demonstrate the ability to disappear and reappear in their cutscenes, yet do not actually possess this ability in their boss battles.
