The battle takes place on a very large bongo drum, deep below the Shadow Temple. Bongo Bongo can be one of the hardest bosses in the game as his attacks do quite a lot of damage and are harder to avoid than most other bosses. A couple fairies are recommended for this battle. Despite the dungeon item being the Hover Boots, they are not recommended for this battle. The drum is floating in a sea of poison, so you'll have to jump back on as quick as possible should you be cast off. | The battle takes place on a very large bongo drum, deep below the Shadow Temple.

This boss attacks by using two hands with generic, predictable punching. His fastest attack is the swiping move, which is hard to avoid sometimes. The best way is to simply hold R to duck, without targeting. The rest of the attacks are generally easily avoided by simply rolling. | This boss attacks by using two hands with generic, predictable punching.

The most effective item to use is the [[Fairy Bow]], but [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] can also use his [[sword]], the [[Longshot]], or [[Megaton Hammer]]. It's possible to attack the hands while they're in the middle of attacking you, but some attacks are invulnerable, so it's easier to attack the stationary hand. Here's the two best methods I've found to attacking the hands. | ||
Stand far back so you can see both hands. Target and shoot one hand with an arrow. Dodge the other when it attacks, and if it's next to you for a second, such as after slamming the ground, stab it with your sword. Otherwise, target that one, and shoot it when it goes back to its starting position before it attacks again. | Stand far back so you can see both hands. Target and shoot one hand with an arrow.
