===Breath of the Wild===
Waterblight Ganon killed [[Mipha]] during the Great Calamity, taking control of [[Vah Ruta]] for Calamity Ganon, eventually serving as boss of [[Divine Beast Vah Ruta|the dungeon]] when Link came to free it of Ganon's control 100 years later. Due to Lanayru being in relative close proximity to [[Kakariko Village]], it may well be the first Blight that Link encounters. If Link doesn't fight Waterblight Ganon inside of Vah Ruta, he will later encounter the boss in the [[Sanctum]] inside of [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], where it will be the second Blight that Link faces at the Sanctum.

====Strategy====
===Strategy===
=====Phase 1=====
====Phase 1====
During the first phase of the battle, Waterblight Ganon will wield a massive spear and will attack you with it. The most risk-reward method of battling it is to wait for it to attack and then try to time a [[Perfect Dodge]] on it by hopping away at the last second, followed by a Flurry Rush where you can deliver a number of attacks in a short period of time. The much safer route is to keep your distance and use projectiles such as arrows, or even just tossing your weapons out at Waterblight Ganon.

=====Phase 2=====
====Phase 2====
After Waterblight Ganon has lost half its health, this will trigger the second phase of the battle. The room will flood with water and only four platforms remain. Waterblight Ganon will create a block of ice and launch it towards you. The block can be disintegrated by using the [[Cryonis]] ability, so be sure to keep that handy, or frozen with [[Stasis]]. As the battle progresses, Waterblight Ganon will begin to shoot three ice blocks out at a time, and then five ice blocks. These can be quite damaging, so be sure to have Cryonis readily available.

If you do run out of arrows, then Perfect Dodges are about your only method of dealing damage. You can also freeze one of its ice blocks with Stasis, and then hit it back at it. You can damage it with bombs, but it is hard to get close to it.

====Health Points====
===Health Points===
As with all the Blights, this Blight's Health Points (HP) depend on a number of factors, including the place where they're fought, and given that circumstance, the number of Blights that have been defeated before it.
