Link must use caution while battling the creature, due to the low friction of the floor. The young hero can use either the [[Fire Rod]] or [[Magic Medallions#Bombos Medallion|Bombos Medallion]] to break its ice shield, at which point it splits into three identical parts that can be hit with the Fire Rod or the Sword. Occasionally, ice chunks will fall down from the ceiling, breaking up into multiple pieces and dropping magic power when the Magic Bar is empty. They can damage Link if they hit him. Upon defeating Kholdstare, Link receives another [[Heart Container]] and the [[Crystal]] containing the fifth imprisoned [[Maiden]]. | Link must use caution while battling the creature, due to the low friction of the floor.

Kholdstare appears in Chapter 10 of the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Comic)|''A Link to the Past'' comic]], although under the name of '''Kholdstone'''. During Link's search for a map of the [[Dark World]], the young hero travels to the [[Ice Palace|Ice Tower]], where they are confronted by Kholdstone. Link reveals that all he wants is to see the map of the Dark World,<ref>{{cite book|quote=I don't want any '''trouble'''! I just want to see the map of the Dark World!|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=5}}</ref> but Kholdstone mentions that the map is his greatest treasure and will not let anyone see it.<ref>{{cite book|quote=This map you speak of is Kholdstone's greatest treasure! I will '''never''' let you gaze upon it! Arise, Stalfos! Destroy him!|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=6}}</ref> The monster unleashes two [[Stalfos]] to attack Link, but when the young hero sees that they keep respawning even after defeating them, he begins to focus his power on the [[Master Sword]],<ref>{{cite book|quote=It's impossible to keep them down! Aaaargh!! I've had enough!|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=7}}</ref> which causes for the tower to begin to collapse. Kholdstone warns Link that if he destroys the tower, then he will destroy the map as well, making him realize that the map is etched on the tower's floor.<ref>{{cite book|quote=You've got quite a temper... If you bring the place down, you will destroy the map also! [...] Look '''down''', fool!|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=8}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|quote=Ah...the floor is the map?! Now...where's Turtle Rock?!|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=8}}</ref> However, the tower collapses shortly after, presumably killing Kholdstone. | |||
