Queen Ghoma (boss of Inside the Great Deku Tree):
Use Deku Nuts or the Fairy Slingshot to stun her. When she's stunned, slash that red eye with the sword. I've heard that using Deku Nuts can freeze the game, but I've used them many times before with no problem. You can hit her when her eye turns red when she's on the ceiling laying her eggs. Otherwise, beat the Ghoma Larva that are released, then repeat the process on the Queen until she's gone. She takes 10 sword slashes before she's gone.
Difficulty: *





King Dodongo (boss of Dodongo's Cavern):
He's big but dumb. First, get close and throw a bomb in his mouth when he opens it wide enough. When it blows up, go over and slash him with the sword while he's down. When he's back up, he'll roll into a ball and try to crush you. Just stand close to the centre lava pit (without going right in!) or against the wall. Continue the process until he's gone. It's an easy 4 sword slashes.
Difficulty: *





Big Octo (mini-boss of Lord Jabu-Jabu's Belly):
If you hit his face with the boomerang, cancel the Z-target and run around him. He will turn around and rotate the other way. Get close, then Z-target again and quickly use the boomerang on his back, then slash the green spot while he's stunned. If the platform stops and turns the other way, change direction and run! Repeat this process. He takes 4 sword slashes, then he's gone.
Difficulty: ***





Barinade (boss of Lord Jabu-Jabu's Belly):
This boss is a bit tough. He's got a bunch of electric jellyfish surrounding him and he's attached to the ceiling via a few tentacles. First, hit the all tentacles with the boomerang to cut him off. Then, use the boomerang on the electric jellyfish. Now, it's a bit easier. Just hit him with the boomerang and he'll be stunned. Slash him with the sword now. Eventually, it will just attack alone, hiding and revealing its weak point. Repeat this process of stunning and slashing until he's gone.
Difficulty: ***





Phantom Ganon (Boss of the Forest Temple):
This boss is really easy if you have good hand-eye coordination. First, walk onto the centre of the platform. Boring room, right? So, try to exit. The gate shuts and Phantom Ganon appears. Stand in a corner of the room and equip your Fairy Bow. Two Ganons will try to appear through paintings. One will come out and the other will turn around and leave. When a big purple light appears, get an arrow ready and hit him with it when he's about to come out. Never stand in the middle, because he releases an electric power that will surely hit you if you stand there. Anyway, when he's had enough of this, he'll come off the horse and shoot a ball of light at you. Use the sword to whack it back and forth (or use an empty bottle for a little fun!). When he's finally hit with the light, he's down and stunned. Run up and slash him with the sword. Repeat the process until the real Ganondorf talks to you telepathically about his terrible phantom.
Difficulty: **


Fire Dancer (mini-boss of Fire Temple):
This guy shows up twice in the Fire Temple to prevent you from continuing. Very easy if you know what to use. When he comes out and starts spinning, quickly throw a bomb at him (preferably right at him) before he spews out small flames. When the bomb blows up, he'll shrink to a small thing! Chase him around and slash him with the sword. When he gets past you, turn around the other way and catch him. Repeat this process until he's gone.
Difficulty: *





Volvagia (boss of the Fire Temple):
This boss has three attacks, one of which is annoying and quite harmful to your health meter. One of his attacks is to just chase you around. That's easy, just Z-Target him and watch your step. You can step on the fire holes, but not for too long or he'll lose a bit of health. His other attack is to disappear and throw down big rocks at you. If you walk into a rock or get hit by a rock of any size, you'll lose quite a bit of health, so watch yourself. His third attack is pretty lousy. He sticks his head out of one of the holes and stares at you. You must hurry to him or he'll attack you with something else. Use the Megaton Hammer on his head. Now, he's just stunned, so quickly slash him with the sword. Also, remember that he can trick you into which hole he'll appear from. He can switch around, especially towards the end of the battle. Continue the above process until he's gone.
Difficulty: *** ½


Dark Link (mini-boss of the Water Temple):
Dark Link is a good replica of you! Hmmm....how do you fight yourself? You can easily use Din's Fire, but keep a bottle of green potion on hand. I've also heard that you can use the Megaton Hammer to prevent him from copying you (he can't use a replica of the hammer.) Using the sword on him is quite hard, so I suggest Din's Fire or the Megaton Hammer. Continue fighting until he's gone and go to the newly unlocked door.
Difficulty: **





Morpha (boss of the Water Temple):
Morpha is pretty easy if you stay a good distance from it. Jump onto a platform to start the fight, then jump back to the path around the room. Use the Longshot to hit it's nucleus (that ball-shaped thing), then slash it with the sword. Continue this process until he's gone. Don't get too close to it or he'll choke you and then throw you across the room! Also, watch out for the spikes on the lower wall.
Difficulty: *** ½


Bongo Bongo (boss of the Shadow Temple):
This boss is incredibly easy if you have the Biggoron Sword. Without it, it’s a big longer to fight. First, use the Lens of Truth to actually see him. Then, use an arrow to stun both of his hands. Then shoot an arrow at his eye, then slash it with the sword. If you have the Biggoron Sword, he'll only take about 4 or 5 slashes until he's gone! Strange.... Anyway, continue this process until he's gone. The camera angles and constant thumping of the bongo is annoying, but bear with it for a fight that only lasts about two minutes!
Difficulty: ****





Twinrova (boss of the Spirit Temple):
This boss is quite funny! First, you have to fight two witches separately. This is harder than when they combine. Use the Mirror Shield to reflect an opposite power on one of the witches (Use the fire power on the ice witch and vice versa.) Z-target the witch providing the power, then sidestep towards the other witch. When you've hit the witches for a while, they will combine to form Twinrova. This part of the battle is quite easy. Just take in three of the same power to the Mirror Shield and the shield will attack the boss. Then, jump over to the boss quickly and slash it with the sword. Continue this process until the witches, Koume and Kotake, become angels! Very funny cinema! But, there's one question: How do they get into heaven if they're so evil?
Difficulty: **





Ganondorf (half-boss of the game):
Why did I say half-boss? You'll see. Ganondorf is tough, but not too hard. First, move back when Ganondorf makes path around the room, separating both of you. When he throws a ball of light at you, use the sword to bop it back at him (look familiar?) When he's been hit, quickly shoot a light arrow at him, then make your way over to him and slash him with the sword. When he's coming back up, move back. Another attack he uses sometimes is he'll have this purple thing above his head. Quickly, shoot a light arrow at it or he'll hit you with a lot of power! Then, attack him with the sword. When he's finished, Zelda is released, but the battle isn't quite over. The castle collapses and you need to escape, but then....
Difficulty: ***


Ganon (the final boss of the game):
Ganon is truly THE boss of the game. After the castle collapses, you'll hear a noise. Walk up and Ganon emerges. He knocks away your Master Sword, but never fear, for you have the Biggoron Sword (I hope)! Z-Target him and shoot a light arrow at his face when he's not covering it. Then, when he's stunned, quickly use the sword on his tail. If you lack the Biggoron Sword, use a Light Arrow instead. Continue until he's gone, but not quite. Grab the Master Sword back, then continue fighting as usual. When he's down again, Zelda will hold him down and you deliver the final blow. Z-Target him and get close. Swing the sword, then sit back and enjoy the wonderful cinema coming up! I'm so proud of you *tear, sniff*
