*Molgera's tongue can be damaged by any weapon in Link's arsenal, such as [[Arrow]]s, the [[Skull Hammer]], the [[Boomerang]], and even the [[Grappling Hook]]. All of these deal the same amount of damage to the boss, however, and even ranged weapons will not deal damage until Link has pulled the tongue close to him with the Hookshot.
