| − | '''Volvagia''' (Pronounced {{IPA|vɒl ˈveɪ dʒiː ɑː}}, {{Respell|vol|VAY|gee|ah}}), known by the name '''Barba''' in the original release of ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'',<ref>[http://bestiary.zeldalegends.net/index.php?game=z2&limit= Barba/Volvagia Connection]</ref> is a snake-like dragon that has been featured as a dungeon [[boss]] twice in the series. |

||
| − | [[File:Barba.gif|left]]Volvagia, known as Barba in the original release, is the guardian of [[Three Eye Rock Palace]], where [[Link]] places one of the six [[Crystal|Magic Crystal]] shards in the palace's lectern in order to rouse [[Princess Zelda]] from her unnatural slumber. It breathes fireballs at Link. However, it can be beaten if Link uses the [[Spells of The Adventure of Link#Jump Spell|Jump Spell]], or by using the upwards sword thrust, though this method is more risky, as it is easier to fall into the lava. |

||
| − | A legendary, snake-like dragon in [[Goron]] lore, '''''Subterranean Lava Dragon:'' Volvagia''' (灼熱穴居竜ヴァルバジア, ''{{exp|Scorching Hot Cave Dwelling Dragon: Volvagia|Shakunetsu Kekkia Ryū Varubajia}}'') is the boss residing in the [[Fire Temple]]. Volvagia was an ancient dragon that lived in the depths of the fiery [[Death Mountain]], long before [[Link]] was born. It was said that a legendary [[Goron]] destroyed Volvagia with the use of the [[Hammer#Megaton Hammer|Megaton Hammer]]. By the time of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', [[Ganon]]dorf had revived the fierce creature to secure the corrupted Fire Temple from intrusion and by feeding the native Gorons to Volvagia, to "make an example" to other people that might revolt against him. Incited by [[Link (Goron)|Darunia's son]], Link set on to destroy Volvagia or else; if the dragon escaped from the temple, Hyrule would become a burning wasteland. In the game, Volvagia is referred to as "it" with a single instance in which its gender is specified as male.<ref>{{cite|A long time ago there was an evil dragon named Volvagia living in this mountain. That dragon was very scary! '''He''' ate Gorons! Using a huge hammer, the hero of the Gorons... BOOOM! Destroyed it just like that. This is a myth from long ago, but it's true! I know, because my dad is a descendant of the hero!|[[Link (Goron)|Link]]|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> |

| − | ====Strategy==== |
||
| − | [[File:Link vs Volvagia OoT.jpg|thumb|left|160px|Official artwork depicting Link battling Volvagia]] |
||
| − | The battle is a lot like the [[Wikipedia:Whac-A-Mole|Whac-A-Mole game]], as there are nine holes, and Link must whack the dragon when it comes out using a hammer. On the battle field, there are pits of fire that Volvagia bursts out of to attack Link. His head pops out from one of the pits. Link looks for one pit that is spitting fire, which is a telltale sign that this pit is the one he most likely comes out from. However, it's advised to not venture too close to the pit as he swings his fire hair around to cause damage. Once Volvagia comes out of one of the nine pits, he would do one of three attacks: (1) Come out halfway of his pit, (2) Rise out of the pit he comes from and hovers above the stage, chasing after Link, or (3) fly up to the ceiling of the cave. When Volvagia comes out only halfway, he does one of two things, depending where Link is at the moment. If Link is far away, he breathes fire. If Link is up close to him, he tries to slash him. Link must get close to him and strike Volvagia's head with the [[Hammer#Megaton Hammer|Megaton Hammer]]. Once stunned, Link can slash him with the [[Master Sword]] or hit him on the head again with the hammer until Volvagia recedes back into his pit. Eventually, he leaves his pit and attacks Link out on the field, flying through the air. As said before, he can either cause rocks to fall down at Link (who must watch the shadows of the falling rocks to avoid them), or he will follow him and try to burn him. Link can use his [[arrow]]s at that point to fend Volvagia off or he can go to the edge of the battle stage and hang there while the rocks fall down. Link can try to pierce him under the chin with the arrow shots. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After four smacks with the [[Hammer#Megaton Hammer|Megaton Hammer]] and four slashes with the [[Master Sword]], the almighty dragon is defeated and the [[Goron]]s are saved. Link witnesses the dragon's body burning into a skeleton and his skull crashing to the ground. It moves its jaw one last time and burns up, rewarding Link with a [[Heart Container]] and a very pleased [[Darunia]], who awakens as a sage and grants the young hero the Fire Medallion. |

||
| − | {{noncanon}} |
||
| − | In the [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Manga)|''Ocarina of Time'' manga]], Volvagia is a dragon that Link bought as a young child. When he returned 7 years later, Volvagia was corrupted by [[Ganon]]dorf, requiring Link, begrudgingly, to kill it. Volvagia is also able to talk in the manga, although only the word 'Link'. Before his dying breath, tears drop from Volvagia's eyes and he sadly utters "Li...nk...." Volvagia returns in Part 2 of the manga as an illusion (merely a disembodied head) in the [[Haunted Wasteland|Desert of Illusions]] who will try to lure Link off the path by calling to him disturbingly. Volvagia then speaks his only full sentence: "It hurts Link. It hurts." |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | *To defeat Volvagia in a much quicker process, Link must hang on to the rock edge when Volvagia flies out of one of the holes. Volvagia can't see Link, so it immediately goes back into the hole (unless it is on the ceiling making rocks fall). |
||
| − | *The original name Barba is a mistranslation of "Barubajia", and was corrected in the re-release of ''The Adventure of Link''. |
||
| − | *Along with [[King Dodongo]] (with whom Volvagia shares its battle music), Volvagia is one of the two normal bosses in ''Ocarina of Time'' to have a different battle theme. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', the second part of [[Stallord|Stallord's]] battle features a version of this same song. |
||
| − | *The way that Volvagia dies is similar to the way that [[Twinmold]] dies in ''Ocarina of Time'''s sequel, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. |
||
| − | *There is a mural on Dragon Roost Island that seems to be Volvagia. |
