Gohma
    Found: The Great Deku Tree
    Strategy: This giant one-eyed spider from previous Zelda games is back                 as a boss! To beat it, shoot it in the eye when it turns red with
              your Slingshot, then while it's stunned, come in and swing at
              the eye with the sword. After it becomes able to move again,
              it'll crawl onto the ceiling and it'll start to make eggs. When
              the eggs fall, destroy them with your sword. After you destroy
              all 3 of them, back up and Gohma will fall back down again.
              Repeat the same procedure until it's defeated. It should take
              about 10 hits total from your sword to kill it.

King Dodongo
    Found: Dodongo's Cavern
    Strategy: This giant dinosaur's back from the original Zelda game and it
              still likes to eat bombs! When it walks towards you, it will
              open its mouth wide when he gets close enough to you. Throw a
              Bomb into its mouth and it'll swallow it; it'll explode inside
              it, hurting it. After it recovers, watch out because it'll roll
              around the room. Follow it around until it crashes into a wall.
              When it walks towards you again, throw another Bomb into its
              mouth. Repeat the process another couple times to defeat it!

Barinade
    Found: Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly
    Strategy: This giant jellyfish-like enemy can be really hard if you don't
              know how to beat it! Defeat it by using Z-Targeting on the huge
              tentacles on top of it and hitting them repeatedly with your
              Boomerang. When the small jellyfish things start floating
              around the room, use your sword to destroy them all. When they
              spin REALLY FAST around the boss, use the Boomerang and                 hope it  hits the boss, not the things spinning around it! Then, run                  in and attack with the sword a few times. Repeat the last few
              steps as needed to defeat this boss!


Phantom Ganon
    Found: Forest Temple
    Strategy: Phantom Ganon has two phases. In the first phase, he rides into
              a picture and then two of him rides back. One of them is fake.
              Stand in the middle of the room with and arrow ready to fire
              and rotate around scanning the pictures. When one of the
              pictures has Phantom coming back out of the picture (a bunch of
              purple lights will appear) fire an arrow at him right away. If
              you hit him, he'll retreat and you can do it again. If you
              miss, he'll zap you for a big time hurt. After you've done this
              3 times he'll lose the horse and start flying around the room
              shooting bolts at you. You'll quickly notice that you can block
              the bolts but you can't seem to hurt him at all. If you're
              played A Link to the Past, remember the evil wizard Agahnim?
              Well, next time Phantom Ganon shoots a bolt at you hit it with
              your sword to shoot it back at him. HOWEVER, watch out as he
              might hit it back at you again! So be ready to hit it again if
              it comes flying back to you. Sometimes you'll hit it back and
              forth like 10 times before it finally gets him. The more times
              it bounces back and forth the more it hurt too. When it does
              hit him he'll fall to the ground. Take this opportunity to give
              it to him with a jump slash from your sword. Then he'll fly
              back up again. The more times the bolt bounced before hitting
              him the longer he'll be on the ground. Keep doing this until he
              dies. Sometimes when he's almost dead he'll fly toward you with
              a super powerful spear stab. Try to dodge it if you can, you
              can't block it. Also, remember to stay far away from him when
              he's firing bolts because it will make it easier to hit them
              back at him.

Volvagia
    Found: Fire Temple
    Strategy: This giant dragon that the Gorons fear is the boss of the Fire
              Temple. When Volvagia pops his head out and swings his mane of
              fire around, avoid it and pound the head with the hammer. Next,
              it'll fly high into the air so you can't hurt it. Just avoid
              the fire and occasional rocks from above. The best way to avoid
              it is to hang off the side of the platform and you cannot be
              hit! When his attacking spree is over hop back up and wait for
              it to pop out, then hit it with your hammer. Repeat the process
              as described above until it's defeated!

Morpha
    Found: Water Temple
    Strategy: To defeat this boss, stand along the sides of the room and wait
              until a tentacle rises from the water. Stand a safe distance
              away and when the nucleus of the enemy appears inside it, use
              the Longshot to pull it out, then swing at it with your sword.
              Repeat this process until it's defeated.

Bongo
    Found: Shadow Temple
    Strategy: To defeat Bongo, shoot one hand with an arrow or two to
              freeze it. Do that to the other hand to freeze the other hand
              to expose the eye, which is the weak spot! Shoot the eye with
              an arrow and then run in and attack with the sword. Then,
              repeat the process above to defeat it!

Twinrova
    Found: Spirit Temple
    Strategy: To defeat the bosses, Koume and Kotake, whenever theyshoot
              their spells at you, reflect it with your Mirror Shield at the
              other sister. Repeat that process until they transform into
              Twinrova! This time, defeat them by using your Mirror Shield on
              three spells with the same powers. (e.g. three fire
              spells/three ice spells) After you collected three spells of
              the same type, it'll shoot itself back at Twinrova and she'll
              drop to the floor. Run over and attack with your Master Sword
              or your Biggoron's Sword if you have it. Repeat that process a
              few more times to defeat it.

Ganon (Part 1)
    Found: Ganon's Tower
    Strategy: This is the final boss of the entire game! To defeat Gannondorf
              in his human form, bounce the energy balls he shoots at you
              with the sword back at him. Then, when he's paralyzed in mid
              air, shoot a Light Arrow at him to make him fall to the
              platform, then run in and attack with your sword. When he gets
              revived, use the Longshot on the stained-glass windows to get
              away before he uses a shockwave attack, which will throw you
              down to an area where you must climb ALL the way up to finish
              the fight again! Repeat this process a few times until he's
              defeated, but he's not finished yet!

Ganon (Part 2)
    Found: Ganon's Tower
    Strategy: Now, follow Zelda all the way out of the tower and defeat the
              enemies along the way until you reach the end. The tower will
              collapse and you and Zelda will think it's over, then
              Gannondorf returns and turns into a beast and he'll knock the
              Master Sword right out of your hand! To defeat him without it,
              shoot him in the eyes with a Light Arrow, then while he's
              stunned, crush his tail with the Megaton Hammer. Repeat this
              process quite a few times until he falls. Then, the fire
              surrounding this arena will disappear and you can take your
              Master Sword back! Repeat the process like before, but instead
              of using the Megaton Hammer; use your Master Sword. Whenyou
              run low of magic for your Light Arrows, drink a green potion if
              you have it or hide behind a pillar and when it breaks, hope
              there's magic containers in it! Continue with your barrage of
              Light Arrows into his eyes and cutting of the tail with your
              sword until he falls again. Zelda will cast a spell and charge
              up your sword, then run in and attack for the last time! Link
              will literally cut apart his face; then deliver the final blow
              RIGHT in the head, thus defeating Ganon and beating the game!
              If you run out of magic, and you have no magic potions, that if
              you have the Biggoron's sword you can still hit him in the tail
              and it takes damage. Another way to defeat him as a beast is
              like this. He only can hit you if you get in the way of his ax,
              but if you stay under his legs (I know it sounds funny) you can
              slip through and hit him in his tail.
