'''Puppet Ganon''' is a [[Boss]] present in the [[Ganon's Tower]] dungeon in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', fought just before the final clash against [[Ganon|Ganondorf]]; this monstrous colossal marionette proves to be quite the challenge before the last boss is encountered in the game. When [[Link]] fights Puppet Ganon the battle shifts through three phases, each one with this monstrosity taking on a new form.
'''Puppet Ganon''' is a [[Boss]] of [[Ganon's Tower]], the last dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. It is fought just before the final clash against [[Ganon|Ganondorf]]. This colossal marionette proves to be quite the challenge before the last boss is encountered in the game. When [[Link]] fights Puppet Ganon the battle shifts through three phases, each one with this monstrosity taking on a new form.


==Battle==
Before the battle begins, a scene will play where Link and Ganondorf discuss [[Zelda]]'s dreams. Ganondorf comments about how what the [[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule|King]] had said was all ridiculous, and instead that it was their gods who destroyed them. Ganondorf also states that he was waiting for Link to arrive, whom he tells to not betray his expectations. Ganondorf begins to deform until the curtains reveal that standing before Link now was none other than Puppet Ganon.


===First Phase: Ganon Form===
==Strategy==


This first phase of the battle is initiated after a scene plays where Link and Ganondorf discuss about [[Zelda]]'s dreams and about how what the [[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule|King]] had said was all ridiculous, the [[Gerudo]] then states how it was their gods who destroyed them. After this Ganondorf states the he was waiting for Link to arrive, waiting for the Hero, and after this he tells him to not betray his expectations and begins to deform until the curtains reveal that standing before Link now was none other than Puppet Ganon. Quickly the young hero takes out his [[Boomerang]] and readies it to cut loose some of the puppet's strings, however Link must also watch himself for Puppet Ganon has remarkable reach and can literally punch him no matter where he's positioned in the room. Link's main target is the thread holding up Puppet Ganon's tail for on the tip of the puppet's tail was the crystal orb he needs to shoot with a [[Light Arrow]], but with all the other threads there getting in the way, it may take a little while before he gets to cutting the one he needs. Over the course of the battle, Puppet Ganon may resort to releasing some [[Keese]] to distract the young hero, or even return up to the room's top area to reattach its severed threads, so Link really must not waste too much time here. After cutting the thread he desires, Link quickly takes out his [[Bow]] and shoots this crystal orb with a Light Arrow, in turn Puppet Ganon let out a painful groan and returned above to repair itself. After repeating this scenario two more times, Puppet Ganon began to writhe in pain and turns black, in response Link begins to do his victory dance but is cut short when the monstrous puppet slowly rises upwards and soon slams down on the ground before the young hero in a new spider form.
==First Phase: Puppet Form==


===Second Phase: Spider Form===  
[[File:048_TWW_GT.png|200px|thumb|left|''Link and Puppet Ganon about to face off'']] For each of the three phases of Puppet Ganon, Link will need to use Light Arrows to hit the ball located on their tails.  For the first phase, Link can pull out the [[Boomerang]] and use it to cut some of the puppet's strings. Most importantly, Link will want to cut the one holding up the puppet's tail. Each string takes a couple of hits to take down, so make sure to target each a couple of times in order to knock them down. The other strings attached to Puppet Ganon's arms may get in the way of aptly using the Boomerang, so be patient throughout this process. Once the tail is down, Link must target the crystal orb on the tail with a light arrow. After a successful shot to the orb, the puppet will fly upwards, and will be completely stringed once again. The process will need to be repeated a two more times before this phase is finished. After the Puppet Ganon fight is finished, the puppet will rise to the top of the room and then returns to the ground in the second phase as a spider.
 
Puppet Ganon has a few means of attacking Link. First, Puppet Ganon has a remarkable reach and can punch Link no matter the distance they are from each other. Puppet Ganon will also release some [[Keese]] to distract Link while he is trying to attack its tail. Midway through the fight, Puppet Ganon can also return to the top of the room and reattach the currently severed threads, restarting some of the fight over.

==Second Phase: Spider Form==


Now taking on the shape of a spider, Puppet Ganon rises above the battle field and Link must now use the water on the ground to see where the large puppet is going to land, as Puppet Ganon's reflection is clearly visible and the last thing the young hero wants is to get landed on. With Puppet Ganon spinning rapidly above him, Link seeks out the spaces between the large puppets long legs and avoids getting landed on; after this he quickly locates the crystal orb located on Puppet Ganon's backside and shot it with a Light Arrow. After the young hero successfully does this two more times Puppet Ganon once again writhes in, and then with a puff of smoke it soon returns to the battle field once again, this time around taking on a new snake like form.

===Third Phase: Moldrom Form===
==Third Phase: Moldrom Form==


Now taking on the shape of a snake, Puppet Ganon quickly slides around the room now, and Link really needs to watch himself or else the puppet will quickly knock the young hero around all over the place. The most difficult of the three forms, due to it's speed, unpredictability, and it's ability to run Link over, it must be fought with extreme caution. With [[sword]] in hand, Link cautiously approaches the hyperactive puppet and gives it a good whack on the head, and in response Puppet Ganon is stopped in its tracks giving the young hero an opportunity to hit the crystal orb on the tip of its tail with a Light Arrow. After Link successfully does this two more times, Puppet Ganon writhes in pain for a third time and ultimately blows up for good, and the young hero is able to move on to face Ganondorf. Other methods Link could use to temporarily distract or stun Puppet Ganon include throwing out some [[All-Purpose Bait]], using a nicely placed [[Bomb]], using his [[Skull Hammer]] to hit the puppets head as opposed to his [[Master Sword]], or through sticking to the walls and attempting to shoot the orb on the puppet's tail while it moves around.
