Byrne (boss)


 * This page is about the boss. For the character, please see Byrne.

Byrne is a boss from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. After Link beats the first four temples, he returns to the Tower of Spirits. On the twenty-third floor, Link encounters Byrne, who challenges Link and Princess Zelda to beat him in a "battle ring".

Battle
Once the battle begins, Byrne jumps around on the pillars scattered throughout the room, throwing balls of blue energy at Link and Princess Zelda. After a while, he throws his hand, which must be dodged. Link must draw a path for Zelda in order to get his hand, causing him to topple over, allowing Link and Zelda to damage him with their respective swords. After having sustained a certain amount of damage, Byrne leaps into the air and draws his sword. In this phase, he will charge up a slash attack. If Zelda attacks him, this process halts, allowing Link to circle around to his back and damage him. After sustaining even more damage, Byrne is defeated.

After Link bests Byrne in battle, Chancellor Cole successfully resurrects Malladus' spirit, using Princess Zelda as Malladus' physical vessel. After Cole and Malladus escape aboard the Demon Train, Byrne joins the side of good and travel aboard the Spirits' Train together with Link, Princess Zelda and Anjean.
