Nabooru (mini-boss)


 * This page is about the mini-boss. For the character, please see Nabooru.

Nabooru is a mini-boss from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. After being captured by Koume and Kotake, Nabooru was brainwashed and forced to do the bidding of Ganondorf. To empower her, the witches placed her in an Iron Knuckle suit and made her stand guard outside of the boss chamber.

Battle
Although Nabooru resembles a typical Iron Knuckle, there are quite a few differences between them. Nabooru looks slightly different from them, being orange-hued. She also has more endurance than all the other Iron Knuckles in the game. Despite her extra health, however; Link still defeats her in the same way. After Nabooru is dealt enough damage, her armor falls off. Unlike other battles against Iron Knuckles, when the armor falls off, Nabooru falls out and the battle ends, instead of going into a final stage.

After the Battle
When Nabooru is no longer inside of the Iron Knuckle suit, she explains to Link that she had no choice, as Koume and Kotake were controlling her. She is then recaptured by the witches, and Link progresses onward to save her.
