Manhandla (Oracle of Seasons)

''Note: This article is only about the boss from The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. For other references, see Manhandla.''

Manhandla is the boss of the Ancient Ruins, the sixth dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. As with previous incarnations of the monster, it resembles a large prehensile plant with four fireball-spitting appendages connected to a central body. In this game, the appendages are large red mouths. It bears some resemblance to the pirahna plant from the Super Mario Bros. game series.

Strategy
The mouths are vulnerable only to attacks from the Magic Boomerang. Link must continually throw the boomerang at the mouths, which are only susceptible to damage when they are open. When all of the mouths have been destroyed, Manhandla will move very quickly around the room in a figure 8 pattern. Link can then use his sword to defeat the main body of the monster. For his trouble he will receive a Heart Container and another of the Essences of Nature, the Blowing Wind
