'''Aquamentus''' is a recurring [[Boss]] in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda Series]]. It first appeared in the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', and later on in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''.

Aquamentus appears twice in ''The Legend of Zelda'', as the main boss in both appearances. The first appearance is in the first dungeon of the game, [[Level 1: The Eagle|The Eagle]]. Aquamentus is here guarding the first [[Triforce Shard]], which Link needs. Aquamentus' main attack is to shoot three fireballs at Link at once, each going in a different direction. If one of these hits Link, it causes half a heart of damage. Also, making contact with Aquamentus will result in Link losing half a heart of health. The best method of attack against Aquamentus is to avoid the fireballs and attack its body when its not shooting fireballs. At this stage of the game, it is possible to already have the [[White Sword]], which will kill Aqaumentus in three hits. [[Bomb]]s can also be used, as well as the [[Bow]] & [[Arrow]].

The second appearance of Aquamentus occurs in the seventh dungeon of the game, [[Level 7: The Demon|The Demon]]. Interestingly, this version of Aqaumentus is the exact same as the previous version, meaning all its attacks damage the same, and it takes damage the same. If Link has collected the [[Magical Sword]] at this point, which is entirely possible, it is possible to kill Aqaumentus with only two hits. It is unknown why [[Nintendo]] decided to place such an easy Boss at the end of one of the harder dungeons in the game. After Link has defeated Aquamentus, he can collect the seventh Triforce Shard.

Aquamentus is the boss of the first dungeon, [[Gnarled Root Dungeon]]. He resembles a dragon with a horn on top of his head. He will attack you by shooting beams in three different direction from his horn, or occasionally by charging at you. The battle itself is fairly straightforward. All you need to do is slash at Aquamentus's horn with your sword while avoiding his attacks. After about 10 hits, Aquamentus will be defeated.
