'''Pumpkin Head''' (ハーロン, ''Haaron'') was a spirit entity who guarded the first [[Essence of Time]] in the dreary [[Spirit's Grave]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''. Pumpkin Head was the first big real threat [[Link]] encountered in collecting the essences, but the method of defeating the spirit was quite simple. As its name implied, Pumpkin Head had an invulnerable pumpkin as a "head" and a vulnerable torso and legs. Link swiped at the vulnerable spots, eventually causing the "body" to disappear, leaving only the pumpkin on the ground. After throwing the "head" with his [[Power Bracelets]], Link found out that the pumpkin was actually a host for a small glowing spirit that flew around the room, intent on killing Link for disrupting its protective shell. Link managed to kill the spectre with a few slashes from his [[sword]].

Characteristics

Pumpkin Head Spirit.png

Pumpkin Head has an invulnerable jack-o'-lantern as a head and will pace around the room aimlessly, shooting groups of three fireballs when Link crosses his path. Link must attack Pumpkin Head's torso and legs with his Sword. This eventually causes his body to disappear, leaving only the jack-o'-lantern on the ground. Link can then pick up the head using his Power Bracelet and toss it aside to reveal a small spirit, which can be momentarily damaged with the Sword before it dashes back into the head, regenerating Pumpkin Head's body. After several more hits to the exposed spirit, Pumpkin Head will be defeated, leaving behind a Heart Container and opening the door to the Eternal Spirit.
