Navi's Comment

Meg - one of the Poe sisters
If she splits into multiple images, you need to figure out which one is the real one. Is it this one?

Meg appears along with her Sisters in the Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time. She appears after all of her sisters have been slain and their respective torches lit, and uses the Temple's main room as her battleground to fight Link.

Meg's battle technique is vastly different from her Sisters; she replicates herself into three other clones and begins to spin around Link. Mistaking the true Meg for an illusion will cause the fake to disappear, giving Meg a chance to inflict damage. Although her technique is intimidating, her true form is easily recognizable; the real Meg will be the first to spin around once the four "Megs" have surrounded Link and again when she attacks. Meg can be struck by Link's Master Sword, hit by Arrows, as well as pierced by the Hookshot. Four strikes on the true Meg is enough to dispel her and light the final, purple torch in the center of the Temple. Meg's death and the lighting of the four torches will enable Link to access the Temple's basement, where the Temple's boss, Phantom Ganon, awaits.

Majora's Mask[]

Tatl's Comment

It's Meg, eldest of the ghost sisters. When she multiplies, look for the real one!!! Is this it?

MM Meg — Meg being fought in *Majora's Mask*

Meg appears along with her three Sisters at the Spirit House in Ikana Canyon in Majora's Mask. Link can battle all four of the Poe Sisters to earn a Piece of Heart at the cost of 30 Rupees. Her battle is identical to in Ocarina of Time.

Trivia[]

Before Meg's battle in Ocarina of Time starts, she appears to be crying. This is likely because her sisters were all defeated, hence she reveals herself after they have perished by Link.
Meg's technique of splitting herself into four images is a reference to the Pokémon series, based on the "Double Team" attack move.
In Majora's Mask 3D, Tatl claims Meg is the youngest of the Poe Sisters. However, this is a developer oversight, as in the original Nintendo 64 version, she is the oldest.
