Sky Whale

The SkyWhale is the second mini-boss in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (the first one being the Big Eye Plant) who is fought at sea. It resembles a large floating purple and black Whale with four tentacle-like fins, large lips,a horned nose,and six eyes, (not to be confused with the Wind Fish which is also a large floating whale ). It is encountered when the player sails into the waters of the south-eastern sea for the first time. Upon sailing up toward Goron Island, a large cyclone will appear and take the ship into the sky and the screen will black out. When the screen turns back on, the sky will turn dark and Linebeck will start saying that the engine has been soaked and is temporarily useless until it dries off. Then Linebeck will ask Link if he has an odd felling and suddenly notices the SkyWhale heading toward them! Since the engine is broken, you are unable to move must defend the ship while Linebeck dries it off. The SkyWhale has three attacks, he sends yellow balls of energy toward the player,which can be destroyed with the Cannon (weapon) ,sending Eyeball Monsters at the player, and swooping down at you and ramming the side of the ship. This attack, unfortunately, is unavoidable. The player must kill it by hitting it's eyes. Each eye will turn pink after being hit once, and then close after being hit twice. Once all eyes are ht twice, the creature will fall into the ocean and you can then proceed to Goron Island!
