Vaati (Four Swords Adventures)

 Vaati  is a boss from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. He is the second to last boss in the game and can be found at the end of the Palace of Winds, the third stage of the Realm of the Heavens.

Battle
In the first part of the battle, Vaati floats above the ground on a whirlwind. If Link gets trapped in it, he gets sucked up, spewing out Force Gems until being thrown out of the top. To damage Vaati, Link must throw one of the Bomb Flowers located on the edge of the arena into the whirlwind. If the bomb is timed right, it will explode on Vaati, knocking Force Gems out. After 3 Bomb hits, Vaati moves down to the ground and will send out a ring of dark energy balls to attack Link.

In order to damage Vaati now, Link must fall down the center pit into the cannon, shoot up above, and do a downward stab on top of him. Vaati then moves down below-ground. Here, he is vulnerable to standard sword strikes, but will shoot energy balls at Link and rush at him. After enough damage, Vaati is destroyed. A cut-scene ensues in which the Realm of the Heavens begins to collapse, being unable to hold its form without Vaati's magic. As Link and Princess Zelda retreat to the Tower of Winds, a shadowy mass is seen leaving the Palace.
