The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening/Bosses: Difference between revisions

The '''Nightmares''' are the final bosses of the game. There are six stages that represent mainly past challenges from '''A Link to the Past'''. First, they morph in what seems to be big, dark Bits that jump slowly towards you. You can defeat them easily sprinkling magic powder on them 3 times. After that, they will morph into '''Agahanim''', from '''A Link to the Past'''. You can only hurt him by bouncing back his magic spheres with a sword hit. Beware, sometimes he shoots small spheres that explode when they collide or are hit. After taking enough damage, they will morph into '''Moldorm''' with the same attack pattern as before. When you defeat it, the nightmares turn into '''Ganon''' (in his '''A Link to the Past''' incarnation). He will attack with his trident, tossing it at you with a spining movement and then teleporting to catch it. When he starts spining his trident without tossing it, a horde of flaming bats will materialize and attack you one by one (you can avoid them using the Hookshot). When you hurt him enough, the nightmares revert to their true form and start chasing you quickly, but you can destroy them with a spin attack. After that, they will turn into a huge eye with two spinning arms that can only be avoided by jumping. You can hurt it only when it opens its eye, either with arrows or the boomerang. When you use the boomerang, there is no reaction in the eye, but you ARE damaging it heavily (the boomerang can sometimes kill it with one or two attacks). When you defeat this form, you have cleared the game. Congratulations.
