Legend Of Zelda, The: Ocarina Of Time - Strategy Guide (Page 10)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Legend Of Zelda, The: Ocarina Of Time - Strategy Guide (Page 10).

Navi: "Lure it close and watch its movements, then strike when it lets 
its guard down!"

Hits: Gray - 3 blows...1 heart
      White - 6 blows...2 hearts

Notes: The Wolfos' claws double as a shield and a sword. If you attempt 
to hack at it, it will just hunker down and your sword will just bounce 
off, doing no damage. Then it will get up and follow up with a few claw 
swipes that will knock you back quite a bit. The best method to 
destroying this beast is to circle around it, then get close for about 
three seconds, then pull off. It will do it's little double swipe move. 
Quick, it's vulnerable now - do a lunge! With practice, you should be 
able to lay these guys down in under a minute, if not less. There are 
even White Wolfos, but they are just larger and more powerful, they have 
the same attacks.


************************************************************************

# 18 - KEESE

Description: A black bat 

Found: Various underground caves, most dungeons

Navi: "When you get close to it, use Z-targeting. Even if it flies away, 
you can still target it."

Hits: Regular - 1 blow...1/2 heart
      Fire - 1 blow...1 heart
      Ice - 1 blow...1 & 1/2 heart

Notes: The most annoying enemy in the game, Keese will relentlessly fly 
at you, hitting you multiple times before flying just out of your reach. 
When you hear their flapping, play close attention to Navi. The second 
she turns yellow and darts off somewhere, press Z and you'll be looking 
straight a Keese. Quickly whip out your Slingshot/Bow and Arrow/Hookshot 
and kill it before it gets in your face. If a Keese flies through a lit 
torch it will light on fire, if it touches you, you will be on fire and 
get hurt more. Ice Keese will freeze you, they are the most dangerous 
Keese of all! 


************************************************************************

# 19 - ARMOS

Description: A stone statue with horns come to life!

Found: Dodongo's Cavern, Spirit Temple

Navi: "Stop its movement and then destroy it!" 

Hits: 1 blow...1/2 of heart

Notes: The great thing about the Armos is that it can bang into you 
again and again, lowering your health very quickly. Well, that's great 
for it anyways. This is where the Deku Nut is ACTUALLY OF SOME USE!!! 
Toss it at the Armos Statue and it will freeze. One blow of the sword 
and it will spin around and attempt to get near you before it explodes. 
You can also use one bomb to defeat it, but it's a lot more complicated 
since the Armos moves around a lot.


************************************************************************

# 20 - POE

Description: A ghost in ragged clothes, it has red eyes, an evil cackle, 
and holds a lantern.

Found: Graveyards, Hyrule Field (adult Lunk), Forest Temple

Navi: "If you stare at it with Z-targeting it will disappear..."

Hits: 4 blows...1/2 of heart

Notes: Like Navi says, if you Z-target it for more than 10 seconds it 
will disappear. Note that you can still Z-target it, but you can't hurt 
it. It's one and only attack is charging at a great speed, and will 
knock you over if it hits you. Just get up to it and spin your sword 
around. Even better, Z-target it and quickly do a lunge. 


************************************************************************

# 21 - REDEAD

Description: A dead humanoid with black holes for a mouth and eyes. It's 
brown!

Found: Underground areas

Navi: "Its gaze will paralyze you. If it bites you, tap any button to 
escape!"

Hits: 8 blows...damage depends on suckage time

Notes: If you get close it will look at you, and you will freeze and 
you'll hear a woman scream. During this time you can not move, but you 
notice that he is slowly  progressing towards you. After a few seconds 
you should regain control, if not, you're screwed. ReDead will leap onto 
you and begin sucking away at your energy. It will continue to do this 
until you die unless you tap any button in rapid succession. The ReDead 
is most vulnerable from the back, as that is its blindspot. However, be 
careful since he can sometimes look over his shoulder and freeze you 
anyways. Another good way is to stun him from afar with the Hookshot, 
then get behind him and hack away.


************************************************************************

# 22 - OCTOROK (Octorock is also correct)

Description: Oh, come on, we all know what an Octorok looks like! 
Well...ok. It's a purple/pink octopus like creature with yellow eyes.

Found: Shallow water

Navi: "Bounce back the rocks they spit at you!"

Hits: 1 rock...1/2 Heart

Notes: Well, Navi pretty much said everything there is to say. You can 
also use the Slingshot/Hookshot or the Boomerang on him if you want to, 
but you have to be quick. This baddie is almost 100% similar to a 
Scrub...


************************************************************************

# 23 - BLUE TEKTITE

Description: The same as the Red Tektite, only blue

Found: Zora's River, Lake Hylia, Water Temple, Zora's Fountain

Navi: "It's hard to beat on the water. Lure it onto the land!"

Hits: 4 blows...1 heart

Notes: Well, it's pretty much the same as the Red Tektite, only it can 
nearly kill you if you're in the water and can't get out. It will just 
keep jumping at you and it won't let you climb out! Use a projectile 
weapon to take them out from a distance.


************************************************************************

# 25 - SHABOM

Description: A bubble

Found: Jabu-Jabu's Belly

Navi: "If you try to cut it, it will bounce off your blade!"

Hits: 1 blow...1 heart

Notes: It doesn't get much simpler than this! It bounces around with his 
buddies, attempting to hit you. Just shoot something at it and it will 
die. A single Deku Nut will take out an entire room of them!


************************************************************************

# 26 - BIRI

Description: A jellyfish that floats in the air

Found: Jabu-Jabu's Belly

Navi: "If you touch it, you will be electrocuted!"

Hits: 1 blow...1/2 heart

Notes: It floats around, looking innocent. Heh, then it charges at you 
and fries you! Whatever you do, don't hit it with your sword as it will 
electrocute you. Instead, smash them with a Deku Stick, or throw the 
Boomerang at them. The Deku Nut also works pretty well.


************************************************************************

# 27 - BARI

Description: A giant jellyfish with two long tentacles

Found: Jabu-Jabu's Belly

Navi: "If you touch it, you will be electrocuted!"

Hits: 2...1/2 of heart

Notes: Use the same tactics as with Biri. Once defeated, it will split 
into three Biri. Whoohoo!


************************************************************************

# 28 - TAILPASARAN

Description: Try saying that three times fast...it's a jaw with a purple 
tail behind it.

Found: Jabu-Jabu's Belly

Navi: "Its tail is its weak point!"

Hits: 1 blow...1 heart

Notes: Strange, the seemingly useless items have a use for the fishy 
creatures...Use a Deku Nut to stun them, then just run. Really, it's not 
worth it to even try to battle them. If you do want to kill them for 
some reason, use a bomb or the Deku Stick.


************************************************************************

# 29 - PARASITIC TENTACLE

Description: A large tentacle that hangs from the ceiling

Found: Jabu-Jabu's Belly

Navi: "The thin part is its weakspot. Looks like you'll need a certain 
item to defeat it..."

Hits: 4 blows...2 hearts

Notes: Only three exist. Almost a mini-boss, to defeat it simply Z-
target it and throw the Boomerang at the thin part. But, that's easier 
said than done, as it will be constantly moving and trying to knock you 
off your feet. After a hit it will re-treat into the ceiling, get close 
to lure it back out. Now it's even worse since it's about a inch from 
your face. After four hits it will go down.


************************************************************************

# 30 - STINGER

Description: A manta-ray with an attitude!

Found: Jabu-Jabu's Belly, Water Temple

Navi: "Destroy it before it flies into you!"

Hits: 1 blow...1 heart

Notes: It will remain stationary until you get near. When you do, it 
will fly into the air and hover above you, then quickly descend and 
knock you over. Before it hits you, smack it with your sword. Another 
technique is to throw a bomb at it from afar before it gets up. Even 
better, use a Deku Nut to stun it, then take a swipe at it as it lies 
helpless on the ground. 


************************************************************************

# 31 - GUAY

Description: A purple bird with a yellow beak

Found: Lon Lon Ranch (night), Lake Hylia, Entrance to Spirit Temple

Navi: "Destroy it before it flies into you!"

Hits: 1 blow...1/2 heart

Notes: Use the same tactics as you would for the Keese. The thing that 
makes this more dangerous, though, is the fact that it travels in large 
numbers!


************************************************************************

# 32 - LIKE LIKE

Description: A morbid looking worm creature with a large black hole for 
a mouth. Looks like an alien...one of my favorite enemies in terms of 
looks

Found: Fire Temple, Bottom of the Well, Shadow Temple, Spirit Temple, 
Gerudo's Training Center, Ganon's Castle

Navi: "An enemy that eats shields and certain clothes. Beat it quickly 
to get your gear back!"

Hits: 4 blows...1/2 heart

Notes: If it swallows you it will churn you around in it's mouth for 
awhile, then spit you out. You'll either have lost your shield, a tunic, 
or both! Kill it to regain your lost items. To defeat it, stun it with 
the Hookshot and then wham on it with the sword. Note that a single Ice 
Arrow will also do the trick. A few bombs will also make short work of 
it - handy from a distance.


************************************************************************

# 33 - RED BUBBLE

Description: A flaming skull

Found: Fire Temple, lava areas

Navi: "Guard against its attack with your shield!"

Hits: 2 blows...1 heart

Notes: Like Navi said, just use your shield if you think it will hit 
you. Chances are it won't, though.


************************************************************************

# 34 - BLUE BUBBLE

Description: A flaming skull, the flames are blue

Found: Forest Temple

Navi: "Use your shield!"

Hits: 4 blows...1 heart

Notes: Again, use your shield. Just Z-target it, bring up your shield, 
and ram into it! The flame will disappear and the skull will be left 
helpless. Chase it down and hack it to bits!


************************************************************************

# 35 - GREEN BUBBLE

Description: A flaming skull, the flames are green

Found: Forest Temple, Bottom of the Well, Spirit Temple, Ganon's Castle

Navi: "Wait for the flames to go out, then attack!"

Hits: 1 blow...1 heart

Notes: You COULD wait for the flames to go out...or you could just stun 
it with Deku Nuts, or your Boomerang and/or Hookshot. Then just slam 
down on it! BWAHA! Oh, I need sleep...


************************************************************************

# 36 - WHITE BUBBLE

Description: A floating skull...no flames

Found: Spirit Temple

Navi: "Wait for it to stop, then attack!"

Hits: 4 blows...1 heart

Notes: I'm not even sure if you have to wait for it to stop...ah, who 
cares? Seriously, no one does. Just use weapons and it will go bye bye!


************************************************************************

# 38 - WALL MASTER

Description: A large hand that drops from the ceiling

Found: Forest Temple, Bottom of the Well, Shadow Temple, Spirit Temple, 
Ganon's Castle

Navi: "Watch for the shadows of monsters on the ceiling!"

Hits: 4 blows...0 hearts

Notes: Oh no, this doesn't hurt you, it's far, far worse! It delivers 
you to the entrance of the dungeon! He ho he ho! Navi will warn you when 
these are near, so you don't have to be 100% alert all the time. Pay 
close attention to your shadow, if it gets real large -- MOVE! You'll 
also hear this scary noise...Try to hit it a few times before it 
retreats to the ceiling. If you defeat it, you can get up to 100 rupees!


************************************************************************

# 39 - FLOOR MASTER

Description: A large hand

Found: Forest Temple, Shadow Temple, Spirit Temple

Navi: "Quickly kill all the small hands before they join back up!"

Hits: 1 blow; 1 per hand...1 heart; depends on sucking time

Notes: The hand will crawl along the floor, and it will charge at you 
and try to knock you off your feet. Use your shield to (hopefully) 
protect yourself, then slice it to bits. Now it will split into three 
smaller hands who will try to choke you. Just tap any button to make 
them get off. Good ways to kill all the smaller hands include using a 
Spin Slash and Din's Fire. If you leave the small hands alone they will 
reform back into their formal self, so try to go a little quick! If the 
Floor Master turns green it is invincible, so back off until it turns to 
the normal color. Some are even invisible, so you'll need the Lens of 
Truth to see them. 


************************************************************************

# 40 - STALFOS

Description: A large skeleton solider with a round shield and a huge 
sword, its eyes glow red...

Found: Forest Temple, Shadow Temple, Spirit Temple, Ganon's Castle

Navi: "Lure it close to you and watch its movements carefully! Attack it 
when it drops its guard!"

Hits: 10 blows...1 heart; 2 hearts

Notes: What most consider the best sword fighting enemy in the game, the 
Stalfos are almost always found in pairs. If you Z-target one the other 
will _usually_ leave you alone, but that's not a guarantee. The Stalfos 
have two attacks. The first one is the basic swing, it can be blocked 
using your shield. The other is the lunge, it takes off two hearts and 
you can NOT block it with your shield, so quickly do a backflip or side 
jump to avoid it. Like Navi said, watch its movements closely and you 
will see the opportunity to smash it to bits. 


************************************************************************

# 41 - DINOLFOS

Description: An iguana that can walk on its hind legs, it carries a 
spear

Found: Gerudo's Training Center, Ganon's Castle

Navi: "Use your shield well and fight with Z-targeting techniques!"

Hits: 12 blows...1/2 heart

Notes: The Dinolfos are very similar to the Lizalfos, but it is more 
powerful and jumps around A WHOLE LOT MORE. Although each hit from it 
will only do damage of half a heart, they are known for working together 
with each other to do major damage. Just don't underestimate them.


************************************************************************

# 42 - TORCH SLUG

Description: A slug like creature that is on fire

Found: Fire Temple, Spirit Temple, Gerudo's Training Grounds, Ganon's 
Castle

Navi: "When the fire on its back is extinguished, it will run away. 
Destroy it before it relights!"

Hits: 6 blows...1/2 heart

Notes: These shy creatures aren't much to talk about. Just keep hacking 
away and it will eventually die.


************************************************************************

# 43 - GIBDO

Description: A mummy! 

The rest of the info. is the exact same thing as the ReDead.


************************************************************************

# 44 - GERUDO GUARD

Description: A nice looking Gerudo with twin blades

Found: Gerudo's Fortress

Navi: "Draw her close and strike her when her guard is down! If you 
don't defeat her, you'll be captured!"

Hits: 8 blows...1 heart; 2 hearts

Notes: ...or maybe the Gerudo Guard is the best sword fighter in the 
game! Her twin swords double as a shield and as offensive weapons 
(obviously). Unlike Stalfos, you can't go in with mindless hacking, no 
no no! You have to watch her movements carefully and then do a lunge 
when her swords are apart. Another good method is to get far away, but 
not so far you break the lock, and she will charge. Do a side jump and 
she'll be facing AWAY from you - commence hacking! If you get hit three 
times you will be imprisoned. He-haw...


************************************************************************

# 45 - LEEVER

Description: Oh, come on...This is a Leever we're talking about. It's 
green and is covered in spikes. There, happy?!

Found: Haunted Wasteland, Entrance to Spirit Temple

Navi: "Watch its movements closely and let it go by!"

Hits: 1 blow...1/2 heart

Notes: Well, you could do a Spin Slash to clear them all out...or just 
spin your sword around like mad. These guys will come from almost EVERY 
SINGLE DIRECTION! You'll lose a ton of energy for sure when traveling 
through the Entrance to the Spirit Temple (or the Desert Colossus as the 
game calls it). Another method is to run, then do a roll to avoid them. 
Nayru's Love is useful here...


************************************************************************

# 46 - ANUBIS

Description: A strange coffin looking thing...

Found: Spirit Temple

Navi: "Its vulnerable to fire attacks..."

Hits: 1 blow...1 heart

Notes: Anubis floats in the air and will mirror your every move, the 
only way to kill it is to bring it in contact with fire. Din's Fire or a 
Fire Arrow are both easy to pull off, but there is a "real" way to kill 
them. In the rooms that they are in is a switch, when it is activated a 
curtain of fire will be revealed. Guide the baddie into the fire...Also, 
occasionally, the Anubis will shoot a ball of fire at you, so watch 
yourself.


************************************************************************

# 47 - SPIKE

Description: A spiked ball!

Found: Water Temple

Navi: "Aim for it when it retracts its spikes!"

Hits: 2 blows...1 heart

Notes: Hit it with something to make it retract its spikes, then hit the 
little ball that's left to kill it. If you leave the ball alone for 
awhile it'll grow the spikes back.


************************************************************************

# 48 - SHELL BLADE

Description: A clam with spikes...are clams supposed to be able to move 
that fast? :)

Found: Water Temple, Gerudo's Training Grounds

Navi: "The internal muscle is its weak point!"

Hits: 1 blow...1/2 heart

Notes: Z-target it and cock your Hookshot (hold C). When it opens its 
mouth, wait a second, then fire the Hookshot into it. If you did it 
correctly it should be dead! If not, it will be charging at you. So 
sidestep and try again. Also, keep in mind the spikes are on the BACK 
side, not the front.


************************************************************************

# 49 - MOBLIN

Description: Large, brown demon like creatures with spears

Found: Scared Forest Meadow

Navi: N/A

Hits: 1 blow...1 heart

Notes: Just use Z and side stepping to look around corners. Then, when 
they're not looking, charge around the corner and pelt them with the 
Hookshot! If they see you they will charge at full speed, and you're 
pretty much screwed. You'll get knocked back about 20 feet, seriously. 


************************************************************************

# 50 - GIANT MOBLIN

Description: A HUGE Moblin with a giant club

Found: Sacred Forest Meadow

Navi: N/A

Hits: 6 blows...1 heart

Notes: He'll slam his club against the ground and cause giant waves of 
dirt to come at you. Besides taking off a heart, they'll throw you back 
about 50 feet (SERIOUSLY! It looks messed up...just a little...). Make 
your way behind him and slash like there's no tomorrow.  


************************************************************************

# 51 - FAKE POT

Description: Looks like a regular pot...

Found: Spirit Temple, Shadow Temple

Navi: N/A

Hits: 0...1/2 heart

Notes: When you get close they will rocket at you kamikaze style. 
Doesn't matter, when it hits you you'll get a heart...what's the point?! 
:)


************************************************************************

# 52 - FAKE CHEST

Description: Looks like a regular chest...

Found: Ice Cavern, Spirit Temple, Ganon's Castle

Navi: N/A

Hits: 0...2 hearts

Notes: When you try to open it, you'll be frozen for several seconds. 
He-haw...


************************************************************************

# 53 - FAKE DOOR

Description: Looks like a regular door...

Found: Fire Temple, Spirit Temple

Navi: N/A

Hits: 1 bomb...1/2 heart

Notes: When you try to open it, it will fall on you. A single bomb will 
blow it away...


************************************************************************

# 54 - FREEZZARD

Description: A living ice block

Found: Ice Cavern, Ganon's Castle

Navi: "Watch out for its freezing breath! Destroy it completely before 
it revives."

Hits: 6 blows...3 hearts

Notes: Watch them closely. After they spew their breath, quickly run up 
to them and hack them to bits with your sword. Another good way is to us 
the Hookshot to be pulled there. Fire Arrows also work quite nicely...

************************************************************************

# 55 - SKULLKID

Description: Not really a skeleton, it looks like a talking and walking 
scarecrow. 

Found: Lost Woods -- however, you can only fight them as an adult, after 
you get the Big Goron Sword.

Navi: "A skullkid...hmmmm, maybe this is what you turn into when you 
enter the Lost Woods?"

Hits: 5 blows...1 heart

Notes: It shoots little pellets at you, and you can't shoot it with 
anything, and when you try to use your Master Sword it just backs up. 
So, instead, do a lunge with the Big Goron Sword and the sword's lengthy 
blade will cut it down to size. It will reward you with, strangely 
enough, an Orange Rupee, which is worth the same as a Golden one...200.

************************************************************************

# 56 - IRON KNUCKLE

Description: A gigantic knight. His armor is very shiny, and he has an 
axe larger than you!

Found: Spirit Temple, Ganon's Castle

Navi: "Watch out for it's axe attack! It hurts a lot! Strike it when it 
drops its guard."

Hits: 30 blows...4 hearts

Notes: When you first meet this guy you'll be absolutely dumbfounded on 
how to beat him. All you have to do is get right in his face, then 
quickly do a back-flip (or anything to get away) and he'll swing his 
giant axe. Since it's so big it'll get stuck in the ground, and he'll 
have to strain to get it out. Quick, here's your chance - do a lunge! 
After a bit he'll start to move a bit faster, but he's still slower than 
a snail. If you suck real bad you can stock up on Bombchus and just 
stand far away and feed them to him. The Iron Knuckle, if under-
estimated, can beat your ass over. 'Nuff said.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
14) BOSS CHARACTERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are more bosses than you may think. Here is a list and how to 
defeat them, descriptions, weapons to use, etc. The difficulty will be 
shown in stars (*). 1 being easy, 5 nearly impossible. Of course, if you 
already know how to beat them just subtract a few stars...

Boss # 1: Parasitic Armored Arachnid - GHOMA

Found: End of Deku Tree Dungeon

Description: A gigantic spider-like creature (Ghoma). The lair itself is 
a foggy room with tree roots all around.

Attack: Well, it will launch dozens of Ghomas at you, plus it will 
charge at you and use it's arms/legs to slash at you.
