=== Helmaroc King ===

{{Main|Helmaroc King}}

The [[Helmaroc King]] is the boss of the [[Forsaken Fortress]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. He is a giant bird, who under the command of [[Ganon]]dorf. As his main task, he searches and kidnaps girls with an appearance similar to that of Princess Zelda. The Helmaroc King is fought in 2 stages, after Link climbs to the top of the Fortress. In the first stage, Link must climb up the ramp against the wall to avoid the water flooding the building. As Link nears the top, the bird will stand in his way. When he presents his head, Link can hit it with the [[Skull Hammer]] and break his helm. After climbing to the top of the Fortress the second stage begins. Here, the Helmaroc King will fly around for a while. He might flap his wings to blow Link off to the edge of the tower where there are spikes, hit Link with his beak, or trying to run Link over with his claws. The strategy of the 2nd stage is to use the Skull Hammer to destroy his helm and hit his face multiple times when the beast lands on the ground, walks towards Link, and digs his head into the ground. Keep hitting his head with the hammer to eventually break his helm and later finish him off for all with the Master Sword.

{{Main|Phantom Ganon (The Wind Waker)#Strategy (Ganon's Tower)}}

[[Phantom Ganon (The Wind Waker)|Phantom Ganon]] is the mini-boss of the final dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', [[Ganon's Tower]], before the confrontation with [[Ganon]]dorf. The battle with Phantom Ganon begins when [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] drops down into the dungeon maze. The battle progresses much the same as the previous battle in [[Forsaken Fortress]]. However, this time around Phantom Ganon disappears after one hit and his sword will remain with the handle pointing towards the correct door to go through next. If the correct path through the maze is known, Link can simply walk through without engaging Phantom Ganon until the final room. When he is defeated in the final room, Link will acquire the [[Light Arrow]]s. Upon returning to the main chamber before entering the maze, another battle with Phantom Ganon will begin. This time, Link can simply shoot him with a single Light Arrow to defeat him for good.

=== Ganondorf ===

{{Main|Ganondorf (The Wind Waker)}}

[[Ganon]]dorf is the final boss in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. The battle is fought on top of [[Ganon's Tower]]. With the help of [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]], [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] can finally defeat Ganondorf. During the battle, Link should parry attack Ganondorf. Over time, the parry attack doesn't seem to have as strong an effect. Princess Zelda will use her [[Light Arrow]]s to stun Ganondorf. When Ganondorf is shocked by the Light Arrows, Link should attack him with the Master Sword. It is important that Zelda and Link are aligned, so that neither Link loses life nor are the arrows lost. At any point where Ganondorf is stunned, Link should run up to him and parry him, delivering the last blow and leaving the [[Master Sword]] impaled in his head.
