Wind Fish's Egg Nightmares | Boss in Link's Awakening Link's Awakening guide, walkthrough
Last update: 04 November 2019
Shadow Nightmares are six forms of bosses that you have to defeat in the Wind Fish's Egg. They appear one after another, so be prepared for the fight. Make sure you enter the giant egg with full life and a supply of arrow and bombs if needed. It would also be a good idea to buy a Secret Medicine.
Giant Zol
On this page of the guide to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, you will find a short description about the fight with Giant Zol.
The first shadow is Giant Zol. He jumps after you and occasionally disappears into the ground only to reappear elsewhere. Sprinkle him with some Magic Powder three times, and he will be defeated.
Agahnim
On this page of the guide to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, you will find a short description about the fight with Agahnim.
The second form is Agahnim's Shadow. You need to stand in front of him with a short distance and wait for the big magic ball that he will throw at you. Deflect his attacks by swinging your sword. Small blasts of magic cannot be reflected.
Moldorm
On this page of the guide to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, you will find a short description about the fight with Moldorm.
Moldorm's Shadow is the third form that appears in Wind Fish's Egg. You must strike his tail with spin attacks. After two hits, he will start to move very quickly. You can continue to slash him with a sword or use a bow.
Ganon
On this page of the guide to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, you will find a short description about the fight with Ganon.
Shadow of Ganon is the fourth form of the Wind Fish's Nightmares. He is not as easy to kill as the previous nightmares. First, he spins his trident and summons six bats. Keep moving to avoid those bats. Then he throws the spinning trident at you. Loop around the trident and line up with Ganon. Use a spin attack or dash into him with Pegasus Boots.
Lanmola
On this page of the guide to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, you will find a short description about the fight with Lanmola.
Lanmola is the next form of shadow to defeat. Avoid his charges and keep attacking him with a Rod. Spin attack, Hookshot, bombs or a Boomerang will deal the same amount of damage.
Dethl
On this page of the guide to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, you will find a short description about the fight with Dethl.
The last Wind Fish's Nightmare is Dethl. He has two swinging arms that you have to avoid. Wait until his eye is fully open and strike it using a Bow or Boomerang. After depleting half of his health, the swinging arms speed up and start moving in an inconsistent pattern. Sixteen direct shots in his eye will kill him. Once defeated, the Wind Fish will awaken.
