Devalant are giant, burrowing insects with large snapping pincers that live in desert regions. They create sinkholes in the sand as they burrow underneath, drawing in their prey. Red Devalants are also able to spit fireballs over a long distance. If [[Link]] gets caught in the sinkhole, it is virtually impossible to escape, so the young hero will have to fight the Devalant up close while it attempts to seize him with its claws. They are not particularly strong, but they can cause a lot of damage if Link gets caught in the sand trap. Like many desert enemies, they are especially weak to the [[Ice Rod]].

The fight against Master Kohga consists of three phases, each of which utilize his control over magnetism and levitation. In the first phase, Master Kohga conjures up a rock above him to hurl at Link. Striking Master Kohga from afar as he levitates in the air, such as with a [[Bow]], will break his focus and cause the rock to fall on his head. This temporarily stuns Master Kohga and allows Link to attack him unopposed.

The fight against Master Kohga consists of three phases, each of which utilize his control over magnetism and levitation. In the first phase, Master Kohga conjures up a rock above him to hurl at Link.
