===Link's Awakening===
The battle takes place on the top of the tower. Link must climb up the ladder to confront the Grim Creeper, who will angrily say Link will wish he was never born.{{Ref|LA|211|Grim Creeper}} He then jumps on the Evil Eagle and begins to attack.

Evil Eagle is made up of an Eagle, as well as the [[Grim Creeper]], the mini-boss found within Eagle's Tower. The fight taking place in the top of the tower. If [[Link]] falls off, he will have to restart the entire fight.


At the beginning of the fight, Link must equip the [[Hookshot]] and [[Mirror Shield]]. Evil Eagle’s weak point is his beak. To make things better, he will fly across the screen and give Link free shots at his beak. Each time he flies by, Link must attack with the Hookshot.
Evil Eagle's weak point is his beak. Link can damage it with a variety of weapons, including his [[sword]], [[bow]], [[bomb]]s, and [[Hookshot]]. Evil Eagle will fly around the screen, often soaring above Link's head, making it easiest to try and hit him with the Hookshot as he flies by.


His only real attack is a barrage of feathers and wind. When he begins this attack, Link must guard with the Mirror Shield and constantly walk towards Evil Eagle to avoid being blown off the tower. If Link can successfully keep from falling, the fight will not last long.  
Link will take damage if he gets hit by the Evil Eagle. After being hit three times with the sword, Evil Eagle will add in two other attacks in addition to soaring across the screen. On some occasions, he will pause and then dive at Link, providing an opportunity for the hero to strike his beak. On others, he will attack with a barrage of feathers and wind. When he begins this attack, Link must guard with the [[Mirror Shield]] and constantly walk towards Evil Eagle to avoid being blown off the tower. If Link can successfully keep from falling, he can prevent the battle from restarting.


Once the Evil Eagle has been defeated, Link will get the [[Heart Container]] and seventh [[Eight Instruments of the Sirens|Instrument of the Sirens]], the Organ of Evening Calm, as the rewards.
If Link completes [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]] before fighting Evil Eagle by leaving Eagle's Tower after obtaining the Mirror Shield, he can acquire the [[Magic Rod (Link's Awakening)|Magic Rod]], which makes the battle significantly easier. After four hits with the Magic Rod, the boss is defeated.
 
Once the Evil Eagle has been defeated, the Grim Creeper tells Link that he is also within the [[Wind Fish]]'s dream and will be lost if the Wind Fish awakens.{{Ref|LA|210|Grim Creeper}} Link will then receive a [[Heart Container]] and the seventh [[Eight Instruments of the Sirens|Instrument of the Sirens]], the Organ of Evening Calm, as rewards.
