Goponga Flowers will damage Link if he comes into contact with them.

After completing the [[Lakebed Temple]], [[Link]] and [[Midna]] arrive at [[Lanayru (Spirit)|Lanaryu's]] [[Spirit Spring]], where they are confronted by [[Zant]], who curses them both when Midna refuses to help him. Zant summons the Shadow Crystal and, in response, [[Wolf Link]] attacks, only to have the crystal forced into his forehead, leaving Link trapped in his Wolf form.

In {{OOS}} and {{OOA}}, Goponga Flowers can generate and fire flame-like spherical projectiles from their core when prey or a threat has entered their domain.
Deep within the [[Sacred Grove]] lies the [[Master Sword]], which Link and Midna find after following the [[Skull Kid]]. As Link approaches the [[Sword]], he transforms back into his human form. Therefore, the curse of the Shadow Crystal is broken, and it coalesces in Midna's hand.<ref>{{Cite|The sword accepted you as its master...

Revision as of 14:15, 14 May 2016

Template:Enemy Goponga Flowers[1] are enemies that inhabit Spool Swamp and Goponga Swamp, the latter of which is named after them.

Characteristics and Weaknesses

Goponga Flowers will damage Link if he comes into contact with them. In Link's Awakening, they are BowWow's favorite food,[2] and letting him eat them is the most effective way to get rid of them.

In Template:OOS and Template:OOA, Goponga Flowers can generate and fire flame-like spherical projectiles from their core when prey or a threat has entered their domain.

Giant Goponga Flowers are larger variations of these plants which, unlike their smaller counterparts, can be found exclusively in Goponga Swamp.
