{{Term/Store|Moldorm|Moldorms|Series, ALttP, LA, LADX, LANS, ALBW, TFH}},{{Exp Game|ALttP, LA, LADX, ALBW, TFH}}<ref name="E 193">{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 193 {{Exp Game|ALttP, LADX, FSA, ALBW, TFH}}}}</ref> also known as {{Term/Store|Big Moldorm|Big Moldorms|FSA}},{{Exp Game|FSA}}<ref name="E 193"/> is a recurring {{Term|Series|Boss|link}} in {{TLoZ|Series}}.{{Name Ref|ALttP (BBII)}} They are a much larger version of the common [[Moldorm]].

The Moldorm makes a reappearance in [[Ganon's Tower (A Link to the Past)|Ganon's Tower]], only the battlefield is shaped differently, making it harder to defeat; the floor below contains spikes that Link might fall on to as well. However, if Link has the [[Golden Sword]], he can kill this Moldorm in just two hits.

In {{LA}}, Moldorm appears as the first of the [[Nightmare]]s that Link must face in his quest to wake the [[Wind Fish]], and resides in the [[Tail Cave]] with many Mini-Moldorms and guards the [[Full Moon Cello]]. Unlike its previous appearance, it has large mandibles and is able to speak, albeit between loud buzzing.<ref>{{Cite|BUZZZZZ! BUZZZZ! OUTZZZIDER! |Moldorm|LADX}}</ref> As one of the Nightmares, its desire is to destroy the outsider, Link. Like its previous appearance, it tries to drive Link off the platform the battle takes place upon. The arena is much smaller than before, and Link has no easy way to heal himself if he takes damage; not only that, but with only three [[Heart Container]]s, Link will be defeated in only three hits. The Moldorm will take less hits than before, but will charge wildly around after being hit with the sword, before slowing down again (unless it's the final hit, where he will continue to move extremely fast until defeated). The best method to defeat the monster is to use the [[Spin Attack|Whirling Blade Technique]]. Only two strikes from this move will defeat the monster.

 

Both forms of {{Term|ALBW|Moldorm (Boss)}} are fought in the {{Term|ALBW|Treacherous Tower|link}}. The yellow {{Term|ALBW|Moldorm (Boss)}} is fought as the final enemy in the Beginner level, while the purple {{Term|ALBW|Moldorm (Boss)}} is the final enemy fought in the Advanced level, with the battle taking place on an {{Term|ALBW|Ice|link}}-covered floor. They are fought in the same manner as in their {{Term|ALBW|Dungeon}} battles, however, falling off the platforms will cause {{Term|ALBW|Link}} to lose health.

In the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}, the Moldorm Link fights in the [[Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)|Tower of Hera]] appears as a giant spider as opposed to the centipede-like monster fought in the game. When the monster's illusion appears in [[Ganon's Tower (A Link to the Past)|Ganon's Tower]], it is still called a Moldorm.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=It--It's Agahnim! It '''can't''' be! I '''destroyed''' him! [...] The Lanmola?! The Moldorm?! They can't be real! I defeated them all!|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=11}}</ref>

The Moldorm first appears in Chapter 4, where it ambushes the young hero from above. Link strikes it in one of its eyes with his blade, and upon being told that the [[Pendant of Wisdom]] is inside the beast's eye, Link reaches for it and takes it, restoring his cursed arm.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Link... The pendant is the '''third eye'''...|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=12}}</ref> Now with all the [[Pendants of Virtue]] in his hand, the monster tumbles defeated to the bottom of the tower and breaks Link's fall as it hits the ground.
