How to Beat Boss 2: Shadow Link
Entry Location:


Shadow Link will at first drop bombs. Throw them back or fire arrows at him to daze him, then go in for a quick lunge before he can get his shield up. In time he'll change color. You must disband and send the matching Link to finish off Shadow Link.

Multiplayer Tip
With multiple players swarming the foe, you'll hurt him quickly, but only the color-matched of Link can complete the job.

How to beat boss 3: Phantom Ganon
Entry Location:


On the highest tower, you'll face the fiend that's seized the castle, but it's not Vaati, it's Phantom Ganon! If you met the shade in Wind Waker you'll know how to beat him: volley his energy balls back at him with your sword until he plummets to earth, then slash him while he's down.

Multiplayer Tip
When multiple players attack Ganon, he'll send out a colored ball of energy. Slash at the ball with the like-hued Link to change its color;repeat color-matched slashes until the energy returns to hit Ganon. You'll have an easier time playing hot potato with the shade if the Links spread out from each other.

How to beat boss 4: Manhandla
Entry Location:


The beach boss has four claws, each a different color. Destroy each one with the matching Link. The creature will spin faster every time it loses a claw.

Multiplayer Tip
A full party of players can cut through the boss in short order. Since the four-clawed baddie spins faster with each limb loss, however, send the best player against it when it's a whirling dervish

How to Beat Shadow Link
Entry Location:


When you reach the second to last room in the Cave Of No Return, you will come to what seems like an empty room but as you enter the room a little farther into the room Shadow Link will make his presence known. He will throw bombs at you. Use your bow to either shoot one of the bombs that is near him or just shoot him. The arrow will stun him for a few seconds. As soon as you hit him (you will see stars swirling around his head), attack him with your sword. Keep repeating this process of shoot then attack. Eventually he will take off his tunic and his tunic will change colors of one of the four Links.( Which ever color he chooses either Blue Purple Red or Green, you must use that Link to finist by pressing the X button him off with the same process mentioned above shoot then attack wile the other three Links sit back and watch. After that it doesn't take much for him to fall
