Manhandla: Difference between revisions

Manhandla appears as the [[Boss]] of {{Term|TLoZ|Level 3|link}} of the First Quest in {{TLoZ}}. It defends a fragment of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. It also appears in {{Term|TLoZ|Level 4|link}} and {{Term|TLoZ|Level 8|link}} of the First Quest as well as {{Term|TLoZ|Level 2|link}}, {{Term|TLoZ|Level 5|link}}, {{Term|TLoZ|Level 6|link}}, and {{Term|TLoZ|Level 7|link}} of the [[Second Quest]]. Manhandla is a large, spinning, man-eating flower with the ability to spit fireballs.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= A large man-eating flower with hands sticking out in all four directions.|game= TLoZ|page= 37}}</ref> [[Link]] must destroy all four of its hands to defeat it. Each hand has a health of [[Weapon Strength#The Legend of Zelda|4]], totaling the beast at 16 health. Manhandla is immune to the [[Boomerang]] and [[Fire]]. Link can damage it with his {{Term|TLoZ|Sword|link}}, [[Arrow]]s, the [[Magical Rod]], or [[Bomb]]s. Bombs are effective, as one Bomb is strong enough to destroy a hand, allowing Link to destroy all four hands with one Bomb if it detonates in its center. As each hand is destroyed, the Manhandla increases its speed and spits fireballs at a faster rate.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= It moves faster as it loses its hands.|game= TLoZ|page= 37}}</ref> The [[Magical Shield]] cannot defend Link from Manhandla's fireballs. When Manhandla is accompanied by [[Stone Statue]]s, the Statues also increase their rate of fire as each hand is destroyed. When defeated, Manhandla will drop a [[Heart Container]] and may drop either a [[Heart]], a [[Fairy]], or one [[Rupee]].{{Note|If {{Term|TLoZ|Link|link}} defeats 10 enemies without getting hit or teleporting with the {{Term|TLoZ|Recorder|link}}, then the 10th enemy defeated will drop five {{Plural|TLoZ|Rupee|link}}. However, if the 10th enemy is defeated with a {{Term|TLoZ|Bomb|link}}, then it will drop four {{Plural|TLoZ|Bomb}}. If {{Term|TLoZ|Link}} defeats 16 enemies without getting hit or teleporting, then the 16th enemy will drop a {{Term|TLoZ|Fairy|link}}. After the 16th enemy, {{Term|TLoZ|Link}} must get hit and reset the counter to zero in order to achieve this effect again. Defeating {{Plural|TLoZ|Armos|link}}, {{Plural|TLoZ|Like Like|link}}, {{Plural|TLoZ|Keese|link}}, or {{Plural|TLoZ|Gel|link}} will not be counted.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= |author= n.a. |published= n.d. |retrieved= August 17, 2017 |url= http://redcandle.us/The_Legend_of_Zelda#Forced_drops |title= Forced Drops |site= redcandle.us}}</ref>}}
