To harm the monster, he must strike its vulnerable tail; the very tip has a twirling red weak point that causes damage to the monster when struck. The monster requires just six hits with Link's [[Fighter's Sword]] to destroy, but its erratic movement makes this extremely difficult. Not only that, but when the monster is close to defeat, it will speed up dramatically, making avoiding and striking the monster more a matter of luck than judgment. While falling from the battle will not harm Link, taking hits from the monster will. The floor below contains a large number of [[jar]]s that hold [[Heart]]s, so Link can continue his attempt to destroy Moldorm over and over until he finally succeeds and obtains the [[Pendant of Wisdom]]. | To harm the monster, he must strike its vulnerable tail; the very tip has a twirling red weak point that causes damage to the monster when struck.

In {{LA}}, Moldorm appears as the first of the [[Nightmare]]s that Link must face in his quest to wake the [[Wind Fish]], and resides in the [[Tail Cave]] with many Mini-Moldorms and guards the [[Full Moon Cello]]. Unlike its previous appearance, it has large mandibles and is able to speak, albeit between loud buzzing.<ref>{{Cite|BUZZZZZ! BUZZZZ! OUTZZZIDER! |Moldorm|LADX}}</ref> As one of the Nightmares, its desire is to destroy the outsider, Link. Like its previous appearance, it tries to drive Link off the platform the battle takes place upon. The arena is much smaller than before, and Link has no easy way to heal himself if he takes damage; not only that, but with only three [[Heart Container]]s, Link will be defeated in only three hits. The Moldorm will take less hits than before, but will charge wildly around after being hit with the sword, before slowing down again (unless it's the final hit, where he will continue to move extremely fast until defeated). The best method to defeat the monster is to use the [[Spin Attack|Whirling Blade Technique]]. Only two strikes from this move will defeat the monster. | In {{LA}}, Moldorm appears as the first of the [[Nightmare]]s that Link must face in his quest to wake the [[Wind Fish]], and resides in the [[Tail Cave]] with many Mini-Moldorms and guards the [[Full Moon Cello]].

The Moldorm briefly appears in the {{ALttP|Himekawa}} as well, this time in a much more accurate depiction. Link is shown fighting off the giant centipede as he runs up the [[Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)|Tower of Hera]]. He manages to slice through one of its pincers and continue his dash up the winding stairway to the [[Pendant of Wisdom]], hanging from the hand of an elegant statue at the very top.
