{{Term|ALttP|Trinexx}} is the {{Term|ALttP|Boss}} of {{Term|ALttP|Turtle Rock|link}} in {{ALttP}}. Its first form is a stone turtle with two additional heads protruding from its shell on either side. These extra heads are elemental; the red one spouts flame and the blue one breathes frost. In order to defeat Trinexx, [[Link]] must use the [[Fire Rod]] on the blue head and the [[Ice Rod]] on the red head to stun them. When using items like Rods that consume high amounts of magic, Link can use blue or green [[Potion]]s to regain his magic as needed. After stunning the heads, Link can attack them with the sword to destroy them. After the blue head is destroyed, Link will no longer have to walk on the ice it emits. While attacking, Link must dodge its main head to avoid taking damage, which lashes out at him. After both extra heads are gone, Trinexx then withdraws into itself and its shell will explode, before emerging in a giant snake-like form with a glowing orb in the center of its body. In this form, Trinexx attacks Link directly with its body. To finish the Boss, Link must strike the orb three times. Once Trinexx is defeated, Link receives another [[Heart Container]] and the [[crystal]] containing [[Princess Zelda]].

==={{ALttP|-}} (Ishinomori)===

In the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}, the monster fought in {{Term|ALttP|Turtle Rock|link}} 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.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Link! Watch your back!|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page=12}}</ref>  However, [[Roam]], who had been following Link,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Ha ha ha! I followed you all this way...|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page=16}}</ref>  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.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote='''Move''' it, hero! Without that head, the monster's fire and ice will mix violently! You can guess what happens next!|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page=1}}</ref>

==={{ALttP|-}} (Himekawa)===

In the {{ALttP|Himekawa}}, [[Agahnim]] kidnaps Link's companion [[Ghanti]] while on his way to Turtle Rock, and takes her to {{Term|ALttP|Ganon's Tower|link}}. 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.<ref name="ALttP (Himekawa) 138"/> 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.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Its kinda weak for such a big... ?! Ghanti! Why were you...? Did '''I''' do this? What have I done?|book= ALttP (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 138}}</ref> 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.

*[[Turtle Rock (Boss)|Turtle Rock]], a {{Term|LA|Sub-Boss|link}} created from the entrance of the same-named dungeon in {{LA}}, is very similar to Trinexx and was likely inspired by it.

{{Term|Series|Trinexx}}'s name may be derived from the prefix "tri-" meaning three, and the word "necks," alluding to its three heads.
