In ''Ocarina of Time'', Dodongos are slow moving and bulky, but watch out because they can do a lot of damage if you are not careful. Their primary attack is to breathe fire at [[Link]], which makes them sit still for a while. By getting close, you can make them do this, then quickly circle around and smack their tail (the only place they are vulnerable). They will howl and spin around quickly, so get out of the way or else their tail will hit Link. Circle around and repeat the process. You can even do a jump attack on their tail with a [[Deku Stick]] to take them out in one hit. If Link positions himself right, he can throw a bomb or [[Bomb Flower]] in front of them and they will swallow it, destroying them at once. The other way to defeat them is to simply shoot them with the [[Slingshot]] between their attacks. They are primarily found in [[Dodongo's Cavern]], where [[Baby Dodongo]]s and [[King Dodongo]] can also be found.

The only Dodongo in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' is Dimitri, a Dodongo who allows Link to ride on his back, allowing him to travel through water. He is met on [[Crescent Island]] after completing the third dungeon, [[Moonlit Grotto]], when some [[Tokay]] mistake him for a fish and plan to eat him. After rescuing him from the Tokay by trading him for some ember seeds, Link rides on Dmitri's back to get back to the land of [[Labrynna]]. Link can choose Dimitri as his companion and call him with [[Dimitri's Flute]]. Dimitri can also go up waterfalls.

After picking up the bombs in the previous rooms, the Links can place one in front of the open mouth of a Dodongo. After the Dodongo swallows the bomb, it will explode inside, damaging it. After three bomb explosions, the Dodongo will die.

The Dodongos in ''Twilight Princess'' are first spotted in the [[Goron Mines]], and then in most of the hidden Caverns that are found around [[Hyrule]], including the [[Bridge of Eldin Cavern]] and the [[Lake Hylia Cavern]]. In this game, they are more reptile-like than previous appearances.

They can be defeated by attacking their tail, which is their weak spot. A few goods hits with the [[Ordon Sword]] will defeat them. Alternatively, [[Link]] can shoot an arrow into their mouth with his [[Hero's Bow|bow]]. This will defeat them in one shot. Also, a [[Bomb Arrow]] shot at them will also defeat them instantly.

Dodongos can be found in Dordung Cave, Shutoy Lake, and Reesong Palace. They look like and act the same as they did in ''The Faces of Evil''.
