How to Beat Angler Fish (Angler's Tunnel)

Learn how to defeat the Angler Fish boss in Angler's Tunnel in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. This guide provides strategies and tips for overcoming this dungeon challenge.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When the Angler Fish appears, it will swim from one side of the arena to the other.
  2. 2
    It will periodically open its mouth and spit out a series of projectiles. Dodge these by moving Link to the side.
  3. 3
    After it spits, the Angler Fish will pause briefly. This is your opportunity to attack.
  4. 4
    Use your sword or other weapons to hit the Angler Fish when its mouth is open and it is vulnerable.
  5. 5
    Repeat this process until the Angler Fish is defeated.
Tips
  • The Hookshot can be used to stun the Angler Fish, creating more openings for attack.
  • If you have the Roc's Feather, you can jump over the projectiles.
  • Be patient and wait for clear openings to attack. Rushing in can lead to taking unnecessary damage.
