Odolwa

The master of the Woodfall Temple, it is Odolwa who has imprisoned the Guardian God of the South, as well as the Deku Princess, within his temple. His body covered in swirling tattoos, he is a blade dancer with a sword five times the size of Link himself. If Link is to prevail in his quest, then he must defeat Odolwa. Odolwa is also the culprit behind the sad state of Woodfall itself.

Odolwa attacks by slashing with his sword most of the time. If he hits you, it deals consderable damage. He will also perform a spin attack from time-to-time, which you'll need to avoid if you don't want to take some heavy damage. He will often summon a swarm of deadly moths. Plant a bomb to attract them, and when it explodes they will die. You can also slash them with the sword.

You can attack him with arrows, and use your sword. Both work effectively, so it comes down to whether you want to close in on him, or keep to the sidelines. Use an arrow to stun him, and then run in and slash him with the sword. Be careful of his sword slashes, as that thing's got a pretty far range. You'll know his time is nearly over when he starts attacking you with more and more ferocity.

When he dies, he will relinquish his remains and the guardian giant will be freed. This giant will teach you the Oath to Order, the song which will call the four giants.
