"This island is going to disappear... Our world is going to disappear... Our world... Our... world..."
Nightmares are the main bosses that appear throughout Link's Awakening. Over the course of the game they try to stop Link from waking up the Wind Fish. One reason they are trying to stop him is that they don't want their world to disappear, which is what would happen if Link did succeed in waking the Wind Fish.
Different Nightmares
Moldorm
- Main article: Moldorm (Link's Awakening)
"BUZZZZZ! BUZZZ! OUTZZZIDER!"
Moldorm is the boss of Tail Cave. It is very similar to the boss of the same name from A Link to the Past. It is one of the easiest Nightmares.
Genie
- Main article: Genie
"HO HO HO! I'm your bad guy this time!! HO HO HO!"
Genie is the boss of Bottle Grotto. Genie is invincible while in a bottle. It first pops out of a bottle and shoots fire, but after Link breaks its bottle with the Power Bracelet, it goes around the room shooting fireballs at him. It is vulnerable to Link's sword during that time. The Nightmare will pop back into a bottle after a few seconds and start the process all over again.
Slime Eye
- Main article: Slime Eye
"NEENER NEENER! YOU CAN'T FIND ME! NYAH NYAH!"
Slime Eye is the boss of Key Cavern. Link has to find it by hitting the wall, causing Slime Eye to fall from the ceiling. It can be defeated by hitting its eye over and over using a sword equipped with the Pegasus Boots. After hitting it a bunch of times it will divide into littler pieces.
Angler Fish
- Main article: Angler Fish (Link's Awakening)
"BLOOP! BLOOP! GLUB! GLUB! OGGGH! FOOOOD! BLOOOOP! GLUB!"
Angler Fish is the boss of Angler's Tunnel. Link can kill it using his sword or Bow. The battle with this terrible fish is fought in side perspective.
Slime Eel
- Main article: Slime Eel
"Ssso... you are the outsssider, come to wake the Wind Fisssh... KEEE-HEE-HEEEH! I shall eat you!TSSSK, TSSSK!"
Slime Eel is the boss of Catfish's Maw. Link can defeat it using the Hookshot.
Facade

"Hey dummy! Need a hint? My weak point is... !! Whoops! There I go talking too much again..."
Facade is a face in the ground. This Nightmare is the boss of Face Shrine. He can be defeated using bombs.
Evil Eagle
- Main article: Evil Eagle
"BAH! I'm not going to hold back! I'm going to make you wish you were never born!!"
Evil Eagle is the boss of Eagle's Tower. The Grim Creeper rides on his back. The battle with him is fought all in side perspective, like the Angler Fish. He can be defeated in many ways, but the Hookshot is one of the best.
Hot Head
- Main article: Hot Head
"CRACKLE-FWOOOSH! You're finished! I will never let you play the Instruments of the Sirens!!"
Hot Head is a flame who happens to be the boss of Turtle Rock. It can be defeated with the Magic Rod.
Final Nightmare
- Main article: Shadow Nightmares
"We were born of nightmares... To take over this world, we made the Wind Fish sleep endlessly! If the Wind Fish doesn't wake up, this island will never disappear! We would have been the masters of this place... But you had to come here and disrupt our plans! Heh heh! You can never defeat us!!! Let's rumble!"
This seems to be the head leader of the Nightmares. There are six forms that appear throughout the battle: Giant Gel, Agahnim's Shadow, Moldorm's Shadow, Shadow of Ganon, Lanmola, and DethI. After all these forms are defeated, Link can awaken the Wind Fish.
