He can, therefore, walk from water lily to water lily in the [[Southern Swamp]] safely, whereas anyone else will make said lilies sink and render the character defenseless against the watery poison. |

| − | *The unique ability of '''flight'''. By using a [[Deku Flower]], he can launch himself into the air and drop [[Deku Nut]]s on enemies like bombs. He can rise higher and faster when he flies into an air stream. Depending on the type of Deku Flower used, the height of flight will be either high and long-lasting, or the opposite. With this ability, Deku Link can reach otherwise inaccessible high spots and avoid falling into cliffs. |
||
| − | *Deku Link has two means of attack: he has the [[Bubble Blast]] attack, useful to break airborne objects or defeat flying enemies; the disadvantage of this is that the range is very inefficient in comparison to the arrows. Deku Link can also do a spin attack by twirling on one foot, which stuns enemies and breaks weak things, although rarely any enemy will die with this. |

However this may also be disproven, and the tree might be a Deku Tree Sprout, though considering its location, this seems unlikely. Regardless, [[Madame Aroma]] comments that there is an elementary school where the Deku Butler's son ''may'' have attended. Most of the people in game think Deku Link to be a young boy, and an adorable one at that. This opinion is not shared by the many dogs of the game, who will attack on sight. When wearing the [[Mask of Truth]], the [[Dog]] in Clock Town tells you that he is looking for a Deku Scrub, this may be a reference to the Butler's son: |

Revision as of 12:03, 13 July 2010
Template:Boss The Helmasaur King is a boss featured in A Link to the Past. He guards the first crystal in the Palace of Darkness, found in the Dark World. He is a large quadruped creature with a large mask on his head, and a long tail with a deadly looking stinger on the end. He must be defeated before the first crystal can be acquired and the quest to advance.
Strategy
Before he can be damaged, his mask must be destroyed with the Magic Hammer or Bombs, though the magic hammer is preferred as it is much quicker. The monster fights by spitting fireballs that split into two each and then into four each. To avoid those, Link stays out of their way by memorizing their pattern. It will also attack by swinging its long tail like a whip.
After attacking the helmet on its face enough times, it will shatter to reveal the face of the monster, and a large green emerald on his forehead appears. This can be hit with the arrows or the sword. When struck enough times, he explodes. When defeated, he leaves behind a Heart Container and the first crystal in which one of the seven maidens is entombed. In the Game Boy Advance version, he returns in the Palace of the Four Sword, a secret dungeon only available after beating both A Link to the Past and Four Swords. In his secret form, his weak point must be attacked with arrows only. He also unleashes his Helmasaur minions from time to time.
