Helmaroc King

Main article: Helmaroc King

The Helmaroc King is the boss of the Forsaken Fortress in The Wind Waker. He is a giant bird, who under the command of Ganondorf. 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.

Jalhalla

Main article: Jalhalla

Jalhalla is the boss of the Earth Temple, the fourth dungeon in The Wind Waker. Link must use the Mirror Shield to reflect light onto Jalhalla, fully exposing him and temporarily stunning him. Link must then pick up Jalhalla and toss him towards one of the spiked stone pillars which causes him to burst into multiple Poes. Defeat each Poe using either the Master Sword or the Hero's Bow until they reassemble back into Jalhalla. Repeat the process until all of the individual Poes have been defeated.

Molgera

Main article: Molgera

Molgera is the boss of the Wind Temple, the fifth dungeon in The Wind Waker. When Molgera emerges from the sand in the center of the room, Link must use the Hookshot to grab Molgera's tongue and bring it close to him to slash it with the Master Sword. After a few hits, Molgera will fly around the room as Lanmolas try to attack you. If Link is quick enough, he can use the Hookshot to grab Molgera's tongue right before he burrows back into the sand. Strike his tongue enough times to defeat him.

Puppet Ganon

Main article: Puppet Ganon

Puppet Ganon is a boss of the final dungeon in The Wind Waker, Ganon's Tower. It has three different forms that Link must overcome.

Ganondorf

Main article: Ganondorf (The Wind Waker)

Ganondorf is the final boss in The Wind Waker. The battle is fought on top of Ganon's Tower. With the help of Princess Zelda, 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 Arrows 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.
