A Link to the Past (Ishinomori)
In the A Link to the Past comic by Shotaro Ishinomori, the monster fought in Turtle Rock is a three-headed dragon with a grey head, a red head that breathes fire and a blue head that breathes ice. Though the three heads and their powers are a reference to the game's boss, the dragon is never called Trinexx. When Link arrives to Turtle Rock to rescue Princess Zelda, he is attacked by a Trinexx.[3] However, Roam, who had been following Link,[4] arrives just in time to save the young hero from one of the dragon head's attacks. Roam and Link cut off the dragon's ice head, causing its ice and fire to mix and eventually explode.[5]
A Link to the Past (Himekawa)
In the A Link to the Past manga by Akira Himekawa, Agahnim kidnaps Link's companion Ghanti while on his way to Turtle Rock, and takes her to Ganon's Tower. There, he uses his magic and her negative emotions to transform her into Trinexx, who he unleashes on the hero when he arrives at Turtle Rock.[2] The monster fails to follow Agahnim's commands correctly however, and Link defeats the monster easily. Only after striking it down does Ghanti return to her true form, battered and badly wounded.[6] Enraged at Agahnim's trickery, Link begins to turn into a beast by letting his emotions get out of control and loses the ability to wield the Master Sword, as was Agahnim's plan all along. The transformation is halted however by Princess Zelda, who breaks free of her Crystal prison by herself. Ghanti is then healed by the enchanted Apple Link had been carrying.
Trivia
- Turtle Rock, a Guardian created from the entrance of the same-named dungeon in Link's Awakening, is very similar to Trinexx and was likely inspired by it.
- In the A Link to the Past comic by Shotaro Ishinomori, the monster Link fights in Turtle Rock is a three-headed dragon, though its body is never shown. As with Trinexx, one of its three heads breaths fire and another breaths ice, but the dragon is never actually called "Trinexx".
- In A Link Between Worlds, Trinexx has a Lorule counterpart called Grinexx.
Nomenclature
Trinexx's name may be derived from the prefix "tri-" meaning three, and the word "necks," alluding to its three heads.
Its Japanese name, デグロック (Degurokku), implies that it has a relation to the Helmasaur King, whose Japanese name is ジークロック (Jīkurokku).
