Changes: Subrosia

Revision as of 01:52, 6 October 2013

Template:Boss Molgera is a gargantuan Lanmola-like creature that appears in The Wind Waker. It lives in the depths of the Wind Temple, waiting for its prey. Molgera is a Boss that must be defeated in order for Makar to be placed in as the new Sage of the Wind, and for the Master Sword to return to full power.

Strategy

When Molgera emerges from the sand, Link must be careful not to get too close to its gaping mouth; otherwise, the creature might devour him and cause severe damage before spitting him back out. Link must get close enough, however, and use L-Targeting to grab its tongue with his Hookshot. Link can then use slash away at Molgera with the Master Sword.

One of Molgera's other attacks is to send out three baby Molgeras to annoy Link. The young hero can use the Hookshot to latch onto them, pull them to his side, and slash them. They reward him with Hearts when they die. After Molgera sends its infants out, Link must watch out for Molgera as it emerges from the sand and flies through the air, attempting to crush him when it dives back in. After receiving four scored onslaughts, the boss flies into the air and explodes in a shower of sand, revealing the Triforce crest with blue light.

Link's rewards from this fight are a Heart Container and a fully powered Master Sword.

Trivia

Molgera's tongue can be extended; Link simply needs to use his Hookshot on it, move back, and use his Hookshot on it again. The tongue can stretch across the room. When it's overstretched, it's possible to see that it actually consists of several unconnected spheres, although this is most likely just a glitch.
It is also possible to latch onto Molgera's tongue while it's in the air if it's timed right. Molgera becomes frozen in the air if that happens.
The song that plays during the fight with Molgera is included in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Unlike the other bosses, who each resembles a larger version of a common dungeon enemy, the only creatures within the Wind Temple Molgera resembles are the worms it spawns during battle.

Name Etymology

Molgera's name is a play on Mogura, the Japanese word for mole.

+'''Molgera''' is a gargantuan [[Lanmola]]-like creature that appears in {{TWW}}. It lives in the depths of the [[Wind Temple]], waiting for its prey. Molgera is a [[Boss]] that must be defeated in order for [[Makar]] to be placed in as the new [[Sage]] of the Wind, and for the [[Master Sword]] to return to full power.
+==Strategy==
-'''Subrosia''' is a subterranean lava world located beneath the world of [[Holodrum]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', and is home to the [[Subrosian]]s. To outsiders, it is only accessible by travelling through seven [[portal]]s scattered across Holodrum. After [[Onox]] causes the [[Temple of Seasons]] to sink, Link must travel to Subrosia in order to locate the temple and retrieve the [[Rod of Seasons]]. He must later return here to reach the [[Sword and Shield Maze]], home to the eighth and final [[Essences of Nature|Essence of Nature]].
+When Molgera emerges from the sand, [[Link]] must be careful not to get too close to its gaping mouth; otherwise, the creature might devour him and cause severe damage before spitting him back out. Link must get close enough, however, and use [[L-Target]]ing to grab its tongue with his [[Hookshot]]. Link can then use slash away at Molgera with the Master Sword.

-Before Onox caused the Temple of Seasons to sink into Subrosia, life was peaceful for its inhabitants. However, the sinking of the Temple caused many problems, such as the destruction of an area referred to as the 'East Plaza',<ref>{{Cite|Whoa! A "temple" fell into the East Plaza.|Subrosian|OoS}}</ref> a drop in the lava level, endangering the Subrosians' food source,<ref>{{Cite|Ever since the "temple" fell, the lava level has dropped. Soon, we won't have any to eat!|Subrosian|OoS}}</ref> and the instability of the land's volcanoes.<ref>{{Cite|The volcanoes have been acting up because of the "temple." |Subrosian|OoS}}</ref>

-The name "Subrosia" is likely derived from the Latin prefix "sub", meaning underneath or below, and the suffix "ia", a common ending for country names meaning "the state of". It is also possible that the name is derived from the Latin phrase, "Sub Rosa", meaning to carry something out secretly or confidentially, referring to the fact that Subrosia is a secret to the inhabitants of Holodrum.

-Unlike Holodrum, and most other lands in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]], Subrosia uses [[Ore|Ore Chunks]] as its main currency, rather than [[Rupee]]s.<ref>{{Cite|Having Rupees doesn't do you any good.

For example, in addition to ore, the [[Subrosian Market]] also accepts [[Mystical Seeds]] and [[Bombs]] as payment for items.<ref>{{Cite|Silver Seed I'll trade for Ore Chunks and 20 Scent Seeds.|Subrosian Shop Keeper|OoS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|A Big Bomb Bag I'll trade for 10 Bombs and Ore Chunks.|Subrosian Shop Keeper|OoS}}</ref>

-==Geography==
+==Name Etymology==
+Molgera's name is a play on ''Mogura'', the Japanese word for mole.
-===Overview===
-Due to it being deep underground, Subrosia is very hot and volcanic, containing many volcanoes and rivers and oceans of [[lava]]. However, despite this, it is still able to support plant life such as [[tree]]s and [[grass]]. Interestingly, Subrosia is also geographically similar to Holodrum, with a [[Subrosian Volcanoes|mountain range]] to the north as well as a [[Subrosia Seaside|coastline]] to the south.
-===Regions===
-:''See [[Places in Oracle of Seasons#Subrosia]]''
-==Population==
-As mentioned earlier, the main inhabitants of Subrosia are Subrosians. However, a group of [[Piratian]]s make their home in the [[House of Pirates]], located in the [[Graveyard#Cemetery|Subrosia Cemetery]], after their ship crash-lands in the [[Samasa Desert]]. However, they leave after Link gives their [[Captain]] the [[Pirate's Bell]]. In addition, [[Queen Ambi]] also appears in the House of Pirates in a [[Linked Game]], having been sent there by Nayru at the queen's request.<ref>{{Cite|Why, Link! What brings you here? I asked Nayru to send me on an eye- opening journey to different lands and different ages! Traveling alone is difficult, but it is one of a queen's many roles. However... This Holodrum is a strange place. The seasons here are so fickle. It must surely bring hardship to the people... |Queen Ambi|Oracle of Seasons}}</ref>
-==Trivia==
-*The trees in Subrosia look similar to the trees found in the [[Dark World]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''.
-*If Link digresses from the [[Gnarled Root Dungeon]] and heads to where the first portal into Subrosia is, [[Rosa]] will not appear and the portal will also be absent. This would suggest that the [[Subrosian]]s have some control over the portals into their world, or otherwise that the portals are not always open, appearing and disappearing at unknown intervals.
