| − | '''Mothula''' is a recurring enemy in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]]. It made its first appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' as the boss of the [[Skull Woods]]. It would later take on a smaller role as a miniboss, and afterwards as a common enemy. |

| − | [[File:Mothulaalltp.gif|left]] |
||
| − | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Mothula is the guardian of [[Skull Woods]], the third dungeon of the [[Dark World]], and the third [[crystal]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Mothula resides in a room with a moving mechanical floor, which is surrounded by deadly spiked blocks. Once the fight begins, the floor starts moving. The spiked blocks also begins to slide across the floor, and causes damage if they come in contact with Link. Mothula attacks by spewing a series of three energy beams at Link. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The most effective method of attack is the [[Fire Rod]]. It drains magic power quickly, though, so it might be wise to keep a [[potion|green or blue potion]] handy before starting the battle. Though not nearly as powerful against Mothula, the [[Master Sword]] is also effective. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It is possible to skip the [[Skull Woods]] and enter other dungeons first, however. Because of this, there a several other items and weapons that are useful against Mothula, including the [[Cane of Byrna]] (which creates a protective barrier around Link that damages enemies), the [[Magic Cape]], and the [[Swords of A Link to the Past#Tempered Sword|Tempered Sword]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another useful method is for [[Link]] to take a [[bee]] with him into the boss room. Mothula is the only boss that can be hurt by the bee. After the bee flies away, Link can finish Mothula off using more conventional means. |
||

| − | ====Palace of the Four Sword==== |
||
| − | [[File:Mothula2.gif|left|Mothula II from the Palace of the Four Sword]] |
||
| − | Mothula is fought again in the additional dungeon [[Palace of the Four Sword]] in the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] remake of the game. Although the battle arena is now more lenient, the boss itself isn't. Mothula multiplies itself by three, but the extra replicas are killed after the first hit when they get attacked by Link. Each killed replica splits into four [[bee]]s that chase Link for a short time. The surviving replicas attack Link with single shots of energy beam, which suggests that the boss's power is divided when it splits; when the two fake replicas die, the true one multiplies itself by three once more. After Link depletes the true Mothula's life energy, any remaining clone automatically dies and the young hero claims victory. |

||
| − | [[File:mothulaoos.png|left]] |
||
| − | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', Mothula guards the [[Essences of Nature#Bright Sun|Bright Sun]] in the [[Poison Moth's Lair]]. It fights by circling around the room and spitting fire at Link. It also releases [[Moth|larvae]] from time to time to defend itself. After a short period of time, it settles on one of the two platforms in the middle of the room, leaving itself open for attack. The [[Roc's Feather]] can be used to jump across the two platforms and dodge attacks. If Link falls through the gap in the floor, any damage Mothula sustained is undone and Link must restart the battle. |

| − | ===''The Wind Waker''=== |
||
| − | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Mothula appears in various caves and dungeons in two varieties: Winged and wingless. Both attack by ramming Link and occasionally release [[Morth]]s to slow his movement, however the wingless variety is much faster and more aggressive. Those with wings can have them clipped off with the [[Boomerang]], [[Hookshot]], or normal [[arrow]]s, though [[Fire Arrow|Fire]], [[Ice Arrow|Ice]], or [[Light Arrow]]s can kill them in one shot. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A winged Mothula appears in the [[Forbidden Woods]] as a mini-boss. Since Link does not have any of the aforementioned equipment at the time, it must be stunned with the [[Deku Leaf]] and attacked with the sword. After it loses all its wings, a few more sword strikes will finish it off and Link will earn the Boomerang. |

| − | ===''Spirit Tracks''=== |
||
| − | [[File:Mothula Large.png|left|Mothula as it appears in Spirit Tracks]] |
||
| − | A Mothula appears as a miniboss in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'' inside the [[Forest Temple]]. It attacks Link by launching [[Bubble]]s at him. Link must use the [[Whirlwind]] to launch the [[Bubble]]s back and stun it, allowing him to attack. If Link tries to attack them while they're not stunned, they disappear and reappear in another place. If Link blows the Whirlwind at them, they return the attack at him, stunning him. Two other Mothulas can be fought in the mini-game at Castle Town, [[Take 'Em All On]]. |

||
| − | *The name "Mothula" is said to be a reference of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothra Mothra] from the ''Godzilla'' movies. |
||
| − | *Strangely, three (later one more) Mothulas appear in the Earth Temple enemy floors in the [[Savage Labyrinth]] on [[Outset Island]], despite the fact that they don't appear in that dungeon. |
