Mazaal

Description
Mazaal is the boss of the Fortress of Winds in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. Mazaal is a big head with two hands, and is gold, red, and blue. It appears to have eyes on its hands. It was created by the Wind Tribe to protect the Fortress of Winds once they had left it.

Reward
The Ocarina of Wind is obtained by beating Mazaal.

Method To Defeat
First, the player must fire arrows into each of the "eyes" on its hands. Doing so will disable the hands. After both hands are disabled, Mazaal will become dormant. The player then uses the portal in the room to become Minish-sized and enters Mazaal's head. The player then uses the Mole Mitts to dig a path to the pillar with the odd shaped bottom. The player then slashes this pillar until it's destroyed, and is then pulled out of Mazaal's head. The player does this three times to defeat Mazaal.

Attacks
Mazaal has the ability to shot beams from its hand. In addition, he can slam his hand down on Link to damge Link. Mazaal's final attack is to slam its fist on the floor, causing rocks to fall from the ceiling, possibly damaging Link.

Trivia

 * It should be noted that Mazaal is similar to that of Gohdan from Wind Waker; they have nearly the same attacks. Both of these bosses are similar to Andross from the Starfox series.


 * Mazaal also bears a strong resemblence to Bongo Bongo from Ocarina of Time. Both bosses' hands must be defeated with arrows and then their head must be struck using a special ability of link's in conjunction with his sword
