Majora's Incarnation

Majora's Incarnation is a boss from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It is arguably the easiest part of the three-step boss battle with Majora. After Majora's Mask, Majora's first form, is defeated, it transforms into Majora's Incarnation.

Majora's Incarnation has arms, legs, a torso, and a small head with a single eyeball; it is more of a human shape than its previous form. It performs various dance-like movements, similar to the dance movements of a ReDead when Link is equipped with the Captain's Hat, Garo's Mask, or Gibdo Mask. Majora's Incarnation is very nimble, and thus, difficult to hit.

Battle
This battle is arguably more disorienting than the previous fight due to the fact that Majora's Incarnation leaves a trail of afterimages in its wake, making it harder to see where it is. Majora's Incarnation normally attacks by ramming into Link, but occasionally stops to hurl a barrage of multi-colored energy balls from its hands, as well.

Because the Fierce Deity's Mask is generally more useful against Majora's next and final form, it is a good idea to battle this enemy using minimal amounts of magic, if any. An effective tactic is to use the spin attack of the Deku Mask to trip Majora up with relative ease as it runs around the room, then turn back to normal and slash at it while it writhes on the ground. Because Deku Link's shield covers his whole body, it can easily block every single energy ball Majora shoots. If, however, magic is not an issue, (often due to the player possessing at least one bottle of Chateau Romani,) and the Fierce Deity's Mask is unavailable, then the Goron Mask is also useful for the same reasons, only by rolling instead of spinning.

This form furthers the idea that Majora is psychotic. Its movements are very erratic, and it utters very childish shrieks. After Link thwarts this second attempt on his life, the giant toddler Majora turns into Majora's Wrath.
