This scorpion will guard with its claws. When it opens up to prepare an attack, slash at the eyes in the direction that the claws are not guarding (if the claw opens vertically, slash horizontally). Eventually, one eye will turn red. That signifies that claw will lunge and attempt to grab Link. If it does, break free by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
Once a claw has been hit enough, it will fall off. Do the same to the other claw. Once the claws are gone, it will change its attack strategy and bury itself under the sand. Once Link has located the moving pile of sand, take out the Gust Bellows and try to uncover it. When enough of Moldarach is showing, it will jump out and resume fighting Link above ground. Now Moldarach will jab with its stinger or ram Link with its head. When Moldarach is preparing to charge, its eye will close. Be sure to get out of the way. If it does manage to successfully charge, a side-jump or backflip is enough to successfully dodge. When charging the jab attack, its eye will turn red, signifying the weakness. Stabbing its eye will hurt it, and cause it to bury under the sand again. Repeat until Moldarach is defeated.
