Zaganaga appears as the boss of the Desert Palace. After going through the dungeon, [[Link]] enters a crack leading to the area's equivalent in Lorule, where the boss resides. The arena consists of several stone pillars standing atop quicksand, making the [[Sand Rod]] a necessity to reach and fight Zaganaga. The upgraded version of the rod is recommended, as the walls of sand it creates don't dissipate. Zaganaga moves from pillar to pillar, erupting from them to attack Link. During this time, it is also vulnerable to Link's sword slashes and other weapons. Occasionally, Zaganaga will release several creatures that will try and attack Link, which should be dispatched quickly.

After taking enough damage, Zaganaga's flower will bloom, exposing its eyes. It will then become much quicker, and will start shooting large streams of sand at Link. These streams have a long range and can damage Link and push him off of the pillar he is standing on, so it is advised to attack the boss as soon as it comes out of the sand, quickly retreat until the blast is over, and repeat the process. After the monster is defeated, a wall drops which releases sand, dissipating the quicksand and revealing Irene's painting.

Template:Character Malanya is a character in Breath of the Wild.

Biography

Malanya is the god who watches over the horses of the world.[1] He makes his home in the Faron Region in Malanya Spring near the Lake of the Horse God, though he has been trapped in a Great Fairy Fountain-like flower bud for a unspecified length of time,[2] and requires 1,000 Rupees to regain his power.[3] Once Link procures the necessary Rupees, Malanya will offer to revive a horse the young hero loves that has died over the course of his journey.[4]

Malanya is usually calm and refined, though he will occasionally loudly threaten Link if he believes the hero is mistreating horses;[5] he always follows this up by claiming he was merely jesting, however.[6]

Trivia

  • Malanya's theme music, which plays in Malanya's Spring after you have paid him 1,000 Rupees, is a combination of the Lon Lon Ranch theme from Ocarina of Time (itself an expanded version of Epona's Song) and the Great Fairy Fountain music.

Etymology

The Chinese names Ma means "horse",[7] Lan means "orchid",[8] a type of flower, and Ya means "elegant" and "refined".[9]
