Strategy

File:Helmethead.png

Like Mazura, the previous boss, his weak point is his head. Unlike Mazura, he attacks Link by throwing fireballs at him from his head. When Link lands a blow to the head, the helmet will come off and be replaced by another one. 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). For the rest of the battle, Link fights the boss while also dodging the fireballs shot by the helmets. After achieving victory in the fight, Link returns one of the Crystals to the palace.
