Ursore is the sixth boss in Zelda's Adventure.[name reference needed] He is the Shrine Keeper of the Shrine of Strength.[1]

Ursore is a bear who values strength above all else and values himself as a strong warrior.[2] His servants are the Shrine's three Knights, and he becomes angry when Zelda manages to overcome them in battle.[3][4]

Characteristics[]

Ursore's only means of attack is to move around the room and pounce at his enemy, which will inflict two full Hearts-worth of damage. Unlike previous bosses, he is significantly slower and it is easier to dodge his attacks.

Trivia[]

  • Ursore is the only Shrine Keeper who is not fought again at the Vision Henge when Ganon summons the Shrine Keepers to fight Zelda.
  • Sir Basil claims that the Broadsword works well against Ursore.[5] In reality, it is rather ineffective.

Nomenclature[]

Ursore is a portmanteau of Ursa, Latin for bear, and sore.
