{{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} boasts a wide array of tactics that he may use in his fight against {{Term|BotW|Link}}. Like a [[Yiga Footsoldier]], {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} can magically teleport and strike {{Term|BotW|Link}} from above with his {{Term|BotW|Sword}}, or he may use a {{Term|BotW|Bow|link}} and shoot at {{Term|BotW|Link}} from the air. {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} can use [[Fire Arrow]]s, [[Ice Arrow]]s, and [[Shock Arrow]]s to strike {{Term|BotW|Link}}.

After {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}}'s health has been reduced by 25%, he will retreat and split himself into nine copies. Each of these copies can damage {{Term|BotW|Link}}, though only one of them can sustain more than one hit. In order to advance, {{Term|BotW|Link}} must find the correct copy of {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} and attack him. The copies will work in unison to attack {{Term|BotW|Link}}, until they are destroyed. When all of the copies have been destroyed, {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} may summon another set of them.

Once {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}}'s health has been reduced to half, he will retreat again and magically enlarge himself while flying in the air. At this stage, {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} can use charged laser attacks to strike {{Term|BotW|Link}}. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} deflects one of these lasers back at {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}}, the {{Term|BotW|Monk}} will be temporarily stunned, allowing {{Term|BotW|Link}} to attack. {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} may also summon a series of eight metallic, spiky balls. {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} will sequentially cast these balls at {{Term|BotW|Link}} in an attempt to hurt him. Afterwards, {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} will begin charging a [[Lightning]] storm, which will strike each of the metallic balls. Much like with [[Thunderblight Ganon]]'s metal spikes, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can use {{Term|BotW|Magnesis|link}} to direct one of the metallic balls near {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}}, causing him to be struck by his own Lightning. {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} can also magically tilt the battle stage before summoning the metallic balls, which will roll towards the bottom of the slope before falling off. {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} can also stomp the ground to cause a tornado to chase Link around. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} is hit by the tornado, he will be struck by a strong pulse from the ground.

At some point, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can ground {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}}. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} gets close to {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}}'s feet, the {{Term|BotW|Monk}} will stomp the ground, damaging the {{Term|BotW|Hylian|link}} {{Term|BotW|Champion|link}}. {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} can also summon two miniature copies of himself, who will attack {{Term|BotW|Link}} in a similar manner to the second phase of the fight.
With a quarter of his health remaining, {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} will ground himself. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} gets close to {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}}'s feet, the {{Term|BotW|Monk}} will stomp the ground, damaging the {{Term|BotW|Hylian|link}} {{Term|BotW|Champion|link}}. {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} can also summon two miniature copies of himself, who will attack {{Term|BotW|Link}} in a similar manner to the second phase of the fight.


Once during the battle, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can distract {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} with [[Mighty Bananas]], leaving the {{Term|BotW|Monk}} temporarily vulnerable to attack.

Monk Maz Koshia is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[5][6]

Biography

Breath of the Wild

Monk Maz Koshia is a Sheikah Monk who is exclusive to The Champions' Ballad DLC Pack, appearing during the "EX The Champions' Ballad" Main Quest. Monk Maz Koshia's goal is to test those who wish to undergo the Divine Beast Tamer's Trial.[7] He first speaks to Link inside the Shrine of Resurrection, where he bestows the One-Hit Obliterator to him as the first part of his Trial.[8] He informs Link that to complete this part of the Trial, he must travel to the four marked locations on the Great Plateau and defeat the bands of Monsters there.[9]

After Link has done this, Monk Maz Koshia will congratulate Link on his progress and reveal that this task was the first of many in the Trial.[10] The Monk continues, saying that the One-Hit Obliterator will guide him to the next steps.[10] This causes the One-Hit Obliterator to split into four glowing orbs, which scatter to various parts of Hyrule Kingdom. Monk Maz Koshia urges Link to follow them in order to continue.[11]

After Link completes "EX Champion Daruk's Song," "EX Champion Mipha's Song," "EX Champion Revali's Song," and "EX Champion Urbosa's Song," Monk Maz Koshia will call to Link once more, instructing him to return to the Shrine of Resurrection to face his final trial.[12] Once Link returns to the Shrine of Resurrection, Monk Maz Koshia will greet him, instructing him to return the Sheikah Slate to the Sheikah Slate Pedestal he found it in to reveal the passageway to his Final Trial.[13] Upon doing so, the door closest, and the chamber begins to descend.[14]

Once the chamber has fully descended, Monk Maz Koshia will welcome Link to the Final Trial, explaining that he can be found here.[15] The Monk guides Link to the labyrinth's Guidance Stone, after which he leaves Link to complete the labyrinth of his own accord.[16] Upon reaching the Monk's Pedestal bearing Monk Maz Koshia, he once again greets Link, revealing that there is one remaining part of the Final Trial.[17] Monk Maz Koshia stands up and Warps the two of them away to a platform in the sky, where they must do combat.[18]

Once Link defeats Monk Maz Koshia, he will shrink to his normal size and commend Link for overcoming all of the obstacles he faced.[19] Afterwards, Monk Maz Koshia will activate the flying structure that they are on, causing the Master Cycle Zero to rise from within.[20] Monk Maz Koshia explains that the Master Cycle Zero is a masterpiece of innovation that was intended for the "one true hero".[21] With his role served, Monk Maz Koshia wishes Link well before returning him to the Great Plateau.[22]

After completing the battle, Link can talk to Monk Maz Koshia to battle him again as many times as he wants. On subsequent visits to his Monk's Pedestal, Maz Koshia commends Link for returning, but he claims that he has nothing left to give.[23] Despite this, he reveals that the only thing he can do to help Link is challenge him to another battle.[24] After the fight, Monk Maz Koshia is assured that Link is capable of saving Hyrule.[25] He tells Link to make use of the Master Cycle Zero and wishes him well.[26] Link will then be Warped back to the Shrine of Resurrection.

Monk Maz Koshia boasts a wide array of tactics that he may use in his fight against Link. Like a Yiga Footsoldier, Monk Maz Koshia can magically teleport and strike Link from above with his Sword, or he may use a Bow and shoot at Link from the air. Monk Maz Koshia can use Fire Arrows, Ice Arrows, and Shock Arrows to strike Link.

After Monk Maz Koshia's health has been reduced by 25%, he will retreat and split himself into nine copies. Each of these copies can damage Link, though only one of them can sustain more than one hit. In order to advance, Link must find the correct copy of Monk Maz Koshia and attack him. The copies will work in unison to attack Link, until they are destroyed. When all of the copies have been destroyed, Monk Maz Koshia may summon another set of them.

Once Monk Maz Koshia's health has been reduced to half, he will retreat again and magically enlarge himself while flying in the air. At this stage, Monk Maz Koshia can use charged laser attacks to strike Link. If Link deflects one of these lasers back at Monk Maz Koshia, the Monk will be temporarily stunned, allowing Link to attack. Monk Maz Koshia may also summon a series of eight metallic Spiked Iron Balls. Monk Maz Koshia will sequentially cast these Spiked Iron Balls at Link in an attempt to hurt him. Afterwards, Monk Maz Koshia will begin charging a Lightning storm, which will strike each of the Spiked Iron Balls. Much like with Thunderblight Ganon's metal spikes, Link can use Magnesis to direct one of the Spiked Iron Balls near Monk Maz Koshia, causing him to be struck by his own Lightning. Monk Maz Koshia can also magically tilt the battle stage before summoning the Spiked Iron Balls, which will roll towards the bottom of the slope before falling off. Monk Maz Koshia can also stomp the ground to cause a tornado to chase Link around. If Link is hit by the tornado, he will be struck by a strong pulse from the ground.

With a quarter of his health remaining, Monk Maz Koshia will ground himself. If Link gets close to Monk Maz Koshia's feet, the Monk will stomp the ground, damaging the Hylian Champion. Monk Maz Koshia can also summon two miniature copies of himself, who will attack Link in a similar manner to the second phase of the fight.

During the battle, Link can distract Monk Maz Koshia with Mighty Bananas, leaving the Monk temporarily vulnerable to attack. This can only be done once.
