I think this article should be split into two (or more articles). The Moon in ''Majora's Mask'' is completely different subject matter to the role the moon plays in other ''Legend of Zelda'' games. Maybe article #1 could be titled '''Moon (Majora's Mask)''' while article #2 could be titled '''The Moon's Role in The Legend of Zelda'''? --[[User:Jin|Jin]] 00:54, 1 October 2006 (CDT)

I think this article should be on the moon in MM alone.

The Gleeok within the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' is a two-headed version fought in the [[Explorer's Crypt]]. It is defeated in a different fashion from its former counterpart. Getting rid of the beast's heads is still Link's main objective, however, there is one more step before defeating it. Link must quickly slash away the heads. This must be done quickly, because the severed heads will reattach themselves to the body if given time. Once both heads are severed, the beast will start jumping, causing a massive earthquake in the arena. Using the [[Roc's Cape]] is the only way to avoid serious damage from the beast. When the beast is grounded Link should attack with the sword. He must continue this process until he is defeated. He will then give up the [[Essences of Nature#Seed of Life|Seed of Life]], the seventh [[Essences of Nature|Essence of Nature]].

Gleeok reappears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' as the ''Two-Headed Dragon'' Gleeok ({{Japanese|氷炎双頭竜 グリオーク|Hyō-En Sōtō Ryū Guriōku|Double-Headed Ice-Fire Dragon Gleeok|3}}), boss of the [[Temple of Ice (Phantom Hourglass)|Temple of Ice]] and guardian of the [[Pure Metal#Azurine|Azurine Steel]]. One of his heads is red and the other one is blue. The red fires a ball of flame and the blue shoots a ball of ice.
   
  +
Link will be standing on a platform with four pegs near each corner. When one of the heads looses a blast at Link, he will need to attach the grappling hook to two pegs diagonally so as the rope launches the blast back at the other dragon's face, cracking it's mask. In addition with these blasts, the two heads will lunge to snap the rope Link ties, while trying to bite him as well. They can also sink below the water to cause a tremor that will flood Link's platform, as well as cause chunks of ice to fall from the ceiling and crash into Link. Link can tie the grappling hook to two posts and walk along the rope to avoid the ice chunks. Three blasts to both heads will remove their masks.

Both heads will remove two of the four pegs by snapping them with their jaws. Each head will take turns at trying to bite Link, then will charge up for a powered blast. The red dragon head will loose a fiery blast that will scorch him, as well as leave a trail of fire on the platform. The blue dragon head will loose a blast of ice that will freeze Link on contact. While charging, however, both dragons will be sucking in energy, exposing their tongues. Link can pull the head down by tying one end of the grappling hook to a post, and using it as an anchor on the dragon's head. Once down, Link must slash at the dragon head before it recovers. Repeating this process to both heads will defeat the dragon, and Link will obtain a [[Heart Container]], extra sands for the [[Phantom Hourglass (Item)|Phantom Hourglass]], and the second of the three [[Pure Metal]]s, Azurine.

Template:Boss Gleeok is a boss monster appearing in multiple games. It is a dragon with multiple heads, and if the heads are struck enough they detach and fight independently until the body is finally killed. Template:TLoZManual

Appearances

The Legend of Zelda

Gleeok makes three appearances in the first game. All are defeated in similar fashion. Using the sword, Link must cut off each of the heads on the beast. Once a head is detached from the body, it will float around the room shooting fireballs at Link.[1] He must avoid the fireballs and cut off the other heads; finally, Link may collect the Triforce piece.

A two-headed version of the beast guards the fourth piece of Triforce in the Snake, a three-headed version is a mini-boss in the Dragon, and a four-headed version of the beast guards the piece of Triforce found in the Lion. In the Second Quest, there is an two-, three- and four-headed versions guarding pieces of Triforce in the Moon, Lizard and Demon, respectively.

It is possible to defeat a Gleeok in one hit with a well-placed bomb.

Oracle of Seasons

Oracle Of Seasons - Gleeok

The Gleeok within the Oracle of Seasons is a two-headed version fought in the Explorer's Crypt. It is defeated in a different fashion from its former counterpart. Getting rid of the beast's heads is still Link's main objective, however, there is one more step before defeating it. Link must quickly slash away the heads. This must be done quickly, because the severed heads will reattach themselves to the body if given time. Once both heads are severed, the beast will start jumping, causing a massive earthquake in the arena. Using the Roc's Cape is the only way to avoid serious damage from the beast. When the beast is grounded Link should attack with the sword. He must continue this process until he is defeated. He will then give up the Seed of Life, the seventh Essence of Nature.

The Minish Cap

Main article: Gleerok

Though "Gleeok" is not seen in The Minish Cap, the boss Gleerok is a one-headed Gleeok with a rock on its back. This information is from the figurine.

Phantom Hourglass

Gleeok Strategy PH 2

The strategy to defeat Gleeok

Gleeok reappears in Phantom Hourglass as the Two-Headed Dragon Gleeok (Template:Japanese), boss of the Temple of Ice and guardian of the Azurine Steel. One of his heads is red and the other one is blue. The red fires a ball of flame and the blue shoots a ball of ice.

Link will be standing on a platform with four pegs near each corner. When one of the heads looses a blast at Link, he will need to attach the grappling hook to two pegs diagonally so as the rope launches the blast back at the other dragon's face, cracking it's mask. In addition with these blasts, the two heads will lunge to snap the rope Link ties, while trying to bite him as well. They can also sink below the water to cause a tremor that will flood Link's platform, as well as cause chunks of ice to fall from the ceiling and crash into Link. Link can tie the grappling hook to two posts and walk along the rope to avoid the ice chunks. Three blasts to both heads will remove their masks.

Both heads will remove two of the four pegs by snapping them with their jaws. Each head will take turns at trying to bite Link, then will charge up for a powered blast. The red dragon head will loose a fiery blast that will scorch him, as well as leave a trail of fire on the platform. The blue dragon head will loose a blast of ice that will freeze Link on contact. While charging, however, both dragons will be sucking in energy, exposing their tongues. Link can pull the head down by tying one end of the grappling hook to a post, and using it as an anchor on the dragon's head. Once down, Link must slash at the dragon head before it recovers. Repeating this process to both heads will defeat the dragon, and Link will obtain a Heart Container, extra sands for the Phantom Hourglass, and the second of the three Pure Metals, Azurine.

Non-canon Appearances

Animated series

Gleeok (Hitch in the Works)

A Gleeok as seen in the animated series

Gleeok appears in two episodes of the animated series. In "Kiss'n Tell", Ganon sends a Gleeok and a Gibdo disguised as a beautiful maiden to a forest, where the Gleeok pretends to be attacking the maiden so that they can lure Link into the scene. However, Princess Zelda arrives instead and proceeds to try and fight off the Gleeok by throwing various kinds of fruits at the three-headed monster.[2][3] When the Gleeok is stunned for a moment, Zelda sees a chance to go but the maiden refuses, saying she wants to be rescued by a handsome hero.[4] Soon after, Link appears and battles against the Gleeok, who quickly zaps the two outer heads. With only one head left, Link grabs the Gleeok's tail, but the monster begins to run around in circles. Zelda, who was eating a banana from the fruit basket, throws the banana peel to the ground and causes the Gleeok to slip,[5] allowing Link to deliver the final blow and send the Gleeok back to the Evil Jar.

In "Hitch in the Works", when Link arrives to the Underworld and tries to stop the wedding between Princess Zelda and Ganon, the evil wizard summons a Gleeok from the Evil Jar to attack Link.[6] Link fires three Sword Beams at the monster's necks, but the heads separate and come after him. He skillfully dodges their attacks, causing them to fly straight into Ganon, thus destroying the evil wizard and the remains of the Gleeok.
