'''Kholdstare''' is the boss of the [[Ice Palace]], a dungeon in the [[Dark World]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past | A Link to the Past]]''. | '''Kholdstare'''{{Ref|pg. 94|The villain, Kholdstare lurked deep in the palace dungeons.|''[[A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide]]''}} is the boss of the [[Ice Palace]],{{Ref|pg. 73|Your plunge into the final Ice Palace pit takes you into Kholdstare's lair.|''[[Nintendo Power A Link to the Past Four Swords Strategy Guide]]''}} a dungeon in the [[Dark World]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. It is a large white ball, which in the second phase of the battle splits into three. Furthermore, it is covered in a large amount of thick ice. | ||

The first phase of the battle consists of Kholdstare just being in a block of ice while making ice fall from the ceiling. To melt the block of ice, use the [[Fire Rod]] eight times.{{Ref|pg. 156|Warm things up with the Fire Rod. Eight blasts will melt the ice block and release Kholdstare.|''A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide''}}{{Ref|pg. 73|Melt the protective ice with Fire Rod blasts.|''Nintendo Power A Link to the Past Four Swords Strategy Guide''}} Alternatively, Link can use the [[Bombos Medallion]] a single time to melt the ice.{{Ref|pg. 73|Use the Bombos spell to do some initial damage in Kholdstare's lair[...]|''Nintendo Power A Link to the Past Four Swords Strategy Guide''}} Once Kholdstare is exposed, it is revealed to have three bodies,{{Ref|pg. 156|Surprise! Kholdstare is not one, but three different bodies.|''A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide''}} which all start to move around the room. In order to damage them, Link can use either his [[Sword]] or [[Fire Rod]];{{Ref|pg. 156|A combination of using the Fire Rod and the Sword is a great way to destroy him.|''A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide''}} the Sword is easier, but the Fire Rod is more affective. This boss battle is much easier if Link has acquired the Magic Meter upgrade from [[Kakariko Village]]. [[Fairy|Fairies]] and such might help as well, but magic is more important in this fight. After killing all three of the bodies, Kholdstare is defeated, leaving behind a [[Heart Container]]. Link can then grab the container, as well as the fifth [[Crystal]].{{Ref|pg. 73|Finish off the eyeballs to gain a Heart Container—and another crystal!|''Nintendo Power A Link to the Past Four Swords Strategy Guide''}} | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*Due to a coding glitch, the animation of the ice around [[Kholdstare]] melting was not implemented. Instead, the ice just disappears after a few frames, which is a lot less aesthetically pleasing. This was fixed in the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (GBA)|GBA remake]].{{Ref|[http://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_A_Link_to_the_Past#Unused_Graphical_Effects The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES), The Cutting Room Floor Wiki]}} | |||
