The detached helmet will then begin to float around and attempt to kill Link by shooting more fireballs and running into him. When Link knocks off two helmets, his true head will rise from the armor; a white head (seemingly with one eye).

In the Japanese version, Helmethead appears twice, first in Midoro Palace, where he is weaker than his NES counterpart due to only having one floating helmet, and a second time as the boss of the [[Palace on the Sea]], where he is stronger and also has two helmets like the NES version. In the NES version, [[Gooma]] replaces the second Helmethead as the fifth boss. | |||
