'''''Masked Mechanical Monster:'' Goht''' is the second [[boss]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', located in the [[Snowhead Temple]].<ref>{{cite|Goht's Remains: The remains of the boss in Snowhead Temple.|Inventory Description|MM}}</ref> It is a giant mechanical creature that bears resemblence to a goat or bull. At the beginning of the boss battle, it is frozen in a giant block of ice. It is Goht's influence and curse that is causing the abnormally long and cold winter at Snowhead, which in turn threatens the lives of the native [[Goron]]s living there.<ref>{{cite|It's this cold snap brought on by the disturbances at Snowhead that has crippled the village and frozen it in an icy grip...|Goron Elder|MM}}</ref> Goht must be defeated in order for Spring to come to [[Snowhead]].
'''Kotake''' and '''Koume''', collectively known as '''Twinrova''', are a pair of [[Gerudo]] witches<ref>{{cite|We are the Gerudo witches, Twinrova!|Twinrova|OOA}}</ref> who have appeared in four [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' games]], most notably in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', in which they act as the boss of the [[Spirit Temple]].

==Strategy==
Their specialty is brainwashing others to serve Ganondorf (most notably [[Nabooru]]<ref>{{cite|Like I suspected, Nabooru was brainwashed by Ganondorf's followers...|Gerudo|OOT}}</ref>) and merging to form the stronger witch "Twinrova," where their combined power is much deadlier. The brooms the sisters use to fly become scepters with which Twinrova performs her spells.

[[Link]] faces Goht in a ring-shaped room. To begin the fight, Link must use a [[Fire Arrow]] to melt the ice block imprisoning Goht. The monster will then thaw, come to life, break out of the rocks surrounding it, and start charging around the course in an attempt to trample Link.

To defeat Goht, Link must use the [[Goron Mask]] to chase the beast down by rolling after it.<ref>{{cite|Hurry! Chase after it. Even if it means throwing your own body into it, do it so it'll stop!|[[Tatl]]|Majora's Mask}}</ref> There are many [[Magic Jar]]s around the room to replenish Link's [[Magic Meter]], depleted by the rolling. Goht can be harmed by being rolled into with [[Goron Link|Goron Link's]] spikes. To prevent this attack, Goht will launch a homing lightning bolt. This attack streaks forward and then doubles back to strike Link. It is possible to dodge this attack by moving to the side quickly as it approaches. Only one will ever be launched at one time, meaning Link can attack Goht this way in rapid succession and not be bombarded. If Link hits Goht with the spikes in midair (from launching off one of the ramps on the course), Goht will be temporarily knocked down, leaving him open to attacks. This can also be accomplished by using [[Bombs]], [[Bombchus]], and the [[Blast Mask]]. However, the timing required makes this method impratical.

Goht will become gradually harder to follow as the battle goes on. It will begin to kick up rocks, which will damage Link and stop him from rolling. This makes following right behind Goht undesirable. After taking more damage, stalactites will also begin to fall from the ceiling. These only damage Link if they fall directly on him, which is unlikely, but he will stop dead if he hits them while rolling. Near the end of the fight, Goht will begin dropping bombs in addition to the rocks and stalactites. These both damage Link, and, as usual, stop him from rolling. It is possible to approximate Goht's damage level by looking at how much black smoke is coming out of it.

It is also possible for Link to defeat Goht with the [[Hero's Bow|Bow]], by safely firing [[Arrows]] while standing in the entrance where Goht cannot attack him. Although this method is somewhat safer, it will also take Link longer to defeat Goht. Like all bosses in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Goht is vulnerable to the [[Fierce Deity|Fierce Deity's]] Energy Beam. However, it is quite difficult to inflict a substantial amount of damage with this attack at any one time when Goht is in motion.

If Link falls too far behind (unless he is standing in the entrance), Goht will stop and wait. When Link enters Goht's field of view, the boss will fire a lightning bolt at Link. This can be easily dodged by swerving side to side. Goht will continue the assault until Link reaches it, at which point it will resume its stampede. If Link falls behind for too long, the boss will run back toward him. If Goht reaches him, it will throw him over itself with its horns and continue onward.
'''Kotake''', Sorceress of Ice, and '''Koume''', Sorceress of Flame, are the surrogate mothers of [[Ganon]]dorf. They both have green, wrinkled skin and dress in black robes with white Gerudo patterns near the hems and an obi-like belt around her waist. Kotake's association with ice is noted by a blue jewel on her forehead, blue slippers and the markings on her headband are in red with a blue border, whereas these distinctions are red on Koume to highlight her association with fire.

Once Goht receives sufficient damage from Link, it will malfunction and careen around the room, then crash headlong into a wall, causing a large number of boulders to fall on top of it. Once Goht is defeated, the second of the [[Four Giants]], who was imprisoned within Goht's body, will be freed.<ref>{{cite|You've seized Goht's Remains! You have just freed the innocent spirit that this dark mask had kept imprisoned within the body of evil Goht.|N/A|MM}}</ref> The icy blizzard coming from the Snowhead Temple will be sealed off,<ref>{{cite|I had heard that you, the one whom I once thought to be dead, had sealed off the blizzard that was blowing in from Snowhead.|Goron Elder|MM}}</ref> and the [[Snowhead]] area will start to thaw, thus marking the arrival Spring in the area.<ref>{{cite|Thanks to you, spring has come to Goron Village.|Goron Elder|MM}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|quote=With Goht's defeat, the mountain will be freed from its icy bonds and springtime rituals can begin in earnest.|book= The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Official Nintendo Player's Guide|publisher= [[Nintendo Power]]|page= 60}}</ref> For defeating Goht, Link will receive a [[Heart Container]] as well as [[Boss Remains|Goht's Remains]].
Koume tends to be leader of the two, usually appearing first and deciding what their course of action should be. She is the first to introduce herself during the boss battle, but is the one that comes up with the idea to combine with Kotake to form Twinrova.

[[File:Twinrova.png|left|132px|Twinrova]]
 
[[File:Twinrova_battle.jpg|thumb|right|[[Link]] reflects Kotake's ice attack using the [[Mirror Shield]]]]
 
Koume and Kotake fight using magic bolts of the elements from which their power comes: fire and ice. Using the [[Mirror Shield]], Link is able to redirect the attacks of one sister against the other. After taking a total of four hits, the pair will use their "Double Dynamite Attack" and merge into Twinrova, a single being with the combined powers of both witches.<ref>{{cite|'OK, let's get serious now, Kotake!' 'Oh, OK, Koume.' "Kotake and Koume's Double Dynamite Attack!"|Twinrova|OOT}}</ref>
 
 
Once merged into Twinrova, the Mirror Shield remains essential in winning the battle. Link is able to use it to absorb the power of both the fire and ice spells. He is required to collect three consecutive charges of one type of spell, which then allows him to release the spell back at Twinrova. However, since Twinrova frequently alternates between fire and ice attacks, care must be taken to only block attacks of one type at a time; blocking a fire attack followed by an ice attack, or vice versa, will cause all power currently stored in the Mirror Shield to dissipate.
 
 
Once Twinrova is injured by the reflected attack, she collapses on one of the four outlying platforms, allowing Link the opportunity attack with his sword. After a sufficient number of strikes Twinrova will be defeated, at which point she will split back into Koume and Kotake. The two witches then say they are going to get "get serious," but realize shortly thereafter that they have halos above their heads. The witches' distress over their defeat fades when their conversations turns into an argument about their age, after which they ascend to the afterlife in a column of bright light.

====Strategy====
 
Link's battle with the sisters begins similarly to their battle in ''Ocarina of Time'', with the sisters casting magical projectiles at Link that he must deflect back at them. However, Link must use his sword to deflect them rather than his shield. The Mirror Shield, an upgrade that can only be attained in a [[Linked Game]], can protect him from their magic, as it can in ''Ocarina of Time'', but it does not reflect it. After the sisters have taken three hits (it doesn't matter who has taken how many, so long as the total is three), they fuse together and become Twinrova.
 
 
Twinrova alternates between two phases of attack, which affect the room around her and Link. In her cold phase, the room's floor is covered with slippery ice and Twinrova materializes spiked ice crystals that she launches at Link and which ricochet off the walls. In her hot phase, parts of the floor become lava pits and Twinrova launches fireballs. Link must strike Twinrova with his sword several times to stun her, and once she is stunned, he must use a [[Mystical Seeds#Mystery Seed|Mystery Seed]] on her to actually damage her.

==Trivia==
 
==Trivia==
  +
*"Goht" is a homophone with "goat". Goht's appearance is similar to that of a goat.
*It can be assumed that in ''Majora's Mask'', Kotake supplies [[Clock Town]] with potions due to the fact that if Link gives Koume a red potion purchased at the Trading post she still states that it smells like one of Kotake's.
 
  +
*It is possible to change into another form immediately after shooting a fire arrow to unfreeze Goht. The player must simply press the button to which the mask is equipped quickly after firing. The cutscene then plays out with Link in the other form, and he even makes the correct sound for the form. This is really only useful for cosmetic effect, but it can allow the player an extra second that would have been spent transforming, a fact that may be useful in [[Speed Run|speed runs]].
*The writing on Kotake's and Koume's headbands are katakana which simply reads their names.<ref>{{cite web|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana|title=Katakana|site=Wikipedia}}</ref>
 
  +
*Goht can be hurt outside his [[Critical Point]].
*Koume and Kotake are named after the old twin sisters in Japanese mystery novel {{Japanese|八つ墓村|Yatsuhaka Mura|The Village of Eight Gravestones}}.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ho-lingnojikenbo.blogspot.com/2011/06/blog-post.html|site=|title=「六つ墓村?八つ墓村じゃなくて?」 (in English)|site=The Case Files of Ho-Ling, June 1, 2011}}</ref>

*"Twinrova" may a portmanteau of the English word, "Twin", and the Japanese word {{Japanese|老婆|Rouba|Old Woman}}.
 
*The center of the symbols out of which Koume and Kotake rise in the boss room display the [[Sage Medallion#Fire Medallion|Fire Medallion]] and [[Sage Medallion#Water Medallion|Water Medallion]] (theorized by many to originally be the Ice Medallion), respectively.
 
*Kotake and Koume are called "{{exp|Killa Grannys|Killa Ohmaz}}" resp. "{{exp|Killa Granny|Killaohma}}" and Twinrova is called "{{exp|Sexy Thermo Witchy|Sexy Thermo Hexy}}" in the German version of ''Ocarina of Time''.
 
*The scene where the Twinrova sisters brainwash Nabooru again is included in the introductory cutscenes of the Ocarina of Time (seen when the player leaves the Start button idle for several seconds).
 
*[[Mago]], a fire conjuring witch enemy in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', bears a similarity to the Twinrova, particularly Koume due to her relation to fire.

Revision as of 21:31, 20 August 2012

Template:Boss Masked Mechanical Monster: Goht is the second boss in Majora's Mask, located in the Snowhead Temple.[1] It is a giant mechanical creature that bears resemblence to a goat or bull. At the beginning of the boss battle, it is frozen in a giant block of ice. It is Goht's influence and curse that is causing the abnormally long and cold winter at Snowhead, which in turn threatens the lives of the native Gorons living there.[2] Goht must be defeated in order for Spring to come to Snowhead.

Strategy

Maskedmechanicalmonster

Goht is revealed.

Link faces Goht in a ring-shaped room. To begin the fight, Link must use a Fire Arrow to melt the ice block imprisoning Goht. The monster will then thaw, come to life, break out of the rocks surrounding it, and start charging around the course in an attempt to trample Link.

To defeat Goht, Link must use the Goron Mask to chase the beast down by rolling after it.[3] There are many Magic Jars around the room to replenish Link's Magic Meter, depleted by the rolling. Goht can be harmed by being rolled into with Goron Link's spikes. To prevent this attack, Goht will launch a homing lightning bolt. This attack streaks forward and then doubles back to strike Link. It is possible to dodge this attack by moving to the side quickly as it approaches. Only one will ever be launched at one time, meaning Link can attack Goht this way in rapid succession and not be bombarded. If Link hits Goht with the spikes in midair (from launching off one of the ramps on the course), Goht will be temporarily knocked down, leaving him open to attacks. This can also be accomplished by using Bombs, Bombchus, and the Blast Mask. However, the timing required makes this method impratical.

Goht will become gradually harder to follow as the battle goes on. It will begin to kick up rocks, which will damage Link and stop him from rolling. This makes following right behind Goht undesirable. After taking more damage, stalactites will also begin to fall from the ceiling. These only damage Link if they fall directly on him, which is unlikely, but he will stop dead if he hits them while rolling. Near the end of the fight, Goht will begin dropping bombs in addition to the rocks and stalactites. These both damage Link, and, as usual, stop him from rolling. It is possible to approximate Goht's damage level by looking at how much black smoke is coming out of it.

It is also possible for Link to defeat Goht with the Bow, by safely firing Arrows while standing in the entrance where Goht cannot attack him. Although this method is somewhat safer, it will also take Link longer to defeat Goht. Like all bosses in Majora's Mask, Goht is vulnerable to the Fierce Deity's Energy Beam. However, it is quite difficult to inflict a substantial amount of damage with this attack at any one time when Goht is in motion.

If Link falls too far behind (unless he is standing in the entrance), Goht will stop and wait. When Link enters Goht's field of view, the boss will fire a lightning bolt at Link. This can be easily dodged by swerving side to side. Goht will continue the assault until Link reaches it, at which point it will resume its stampede. If Link falls behind for too long, the boss will run back toward him. If Goht reaches him, it will throw him over itself with its horns and continue onward.

Once Goht receives sufficient damage from Link, it will malfunction and careen around the room, then crash headlong into a wall, causing a large number of boulders to fall on top of it. Once Goht is defeated, the second of the Four Giants, who was imprisoned within Goht's body, will be freed.[4] The icy blizzard coming from the Snowhead Temple will be sealed off,[5] and the Snowhead area will start to thaw, thus marking the arrival Spring in the area.[6][7] For defeating Goht, Link will receive a Heart Container as well as Goht's Remains.

Trivia

  • "Goht" is a homophone with "goat". Goht's appearance is similar to that of a goat.
  • It is possible to change into another form immediately after shooting a fire arrow to unfreeze Goht. The player must simply press the button to which the mask is equipped quickly after firing. The cutscene then plays out with Link in the other form, and he even makes the correct sound for the form. This is really only useful for cosmetic effect, but it can allow the player an extra second that would have been spent transforming, a fact that may be useful in speed runs.
  • Goht can be hurt outside his Critical Point.
  • The Majora's Mask Prima Guide repeatedly misspells "Goht" as "Ghot".
