Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the boss arena. Moldorm will immediately start charging at Link.
  2. 2
    Dodge Moldorm's charges. Its body is covered in spikes, so direct contact is dangerous.
  3. 3
    When Moldorm turns red, it is vulnerable. This usually happens after it charges and pauses briefly.
  4. 4
    Attack Moldorm's tail with your sword when it is red.
  5. 5
    Repeat this process. Moldorm will eventually be defeated.
Tips
  • The Shield can be used to block some of Moldorm's attacks, but it's generally more effective to dodge.
  • The Roc's Feather allows for higher jumps, which can help in dodging charges.
  • Be patient. Rushing in will likely result in taking damage. Wait for the opportune moment to strike its tail.
  • The arena has spikes around the edges, so be careful not to get pushed into them.
