The battle takes place on an extremely large bongo (hence the name Bongo Bongo) deep below the Shadow Temple. During the battle only Bongo Bongo's hands are visible without the use of the Lens of Truth. Also, during the battle, he beats his drum in a repetitive pattern with every forth beat bouncing Link up making it difficult to shoot the bow if not Z-Targeting. There are seven attacks that Bongo Bongo utilizes that are predictable for the most part. Use of the [[Hover Boots]] for stability is strongly recommended.

===Strategies===
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.
There are three main strategies used to defeat Bongo Bongo.


====Strategy 1====
The object of the battle is to stun both hands, to make Bongo Bongo vulnerable. 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.
The first of the three strategies is to use [[Link]]'s [[Fairy Bow]]. The easiest way to do this strategy is for Link to Z-target whichever hand Bongo Bongo is not attacking with and shoot it. During most of his attacks the hand attacking is invulnerable and the one not attacking is vulnerable and you can hit it. Although, when he claps you don't have to be picky -just shoot one before he claps.


====Strategy 2====
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.
The next strategy is using the [[sword]]. All Link has to do is: when Bongo Bongo attacks, run to the hand that isn't attacking, slash it, then run to the spot where the other hand will return to and slash it when it comes.


====Strategy 3====
Alternatively, wait for one hand to attack. Run straight for the other hand that's not moving and smack it with your sword. Quickly turn and move to where the opposing hand will return to. Smack it as soon as it comes back to its original position.
The last strategy is fairly simple. If [[Link]] has the [[Ice Arrow]]s, he can shoot one of the hands causing it to freeze. The other hand will then try to break the ice off the frozen hand and Bongo Bongo's eye will open and hence, make itself vulnerable.


===Once Both Hands Are Stunned...===
Once both hands have been stunned, use the [[Lens of Truth]] to see Bongo Bongo. He'll now open his eyes and rush towards you, with hands on either sides. Hit his open eye to stun him, with the Fairy Bow once again being the most effective weapon. Repeat this process until Bongo Bongo has been defeated.
Once both hands are stunned Bongo Bongo will proceed to use the Charge attack. When this happens, have Link equip the Lens of Truth and do one of two things. Either Link can shoot his eye with an arrow or perform a [[Spin Attack]] when the fists are on both sides of him (Although you do not need the Lens of Truth it is recommended unless you know exactly where to shoot). After Bongo Bongo is down, have Link slash away with the [[Sword]].


==Trivia==
*If [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] has the [[Ice Arrow]]s, he can shoot one of the hands, causing it to freeze. The other hand then tries to break the ice off the frozen hand, making it vulnerable to Link's attacks.

Bongo Bongo is the boss of the Shadow Temple, the seventh dungeon in Ocarina of Time.[1] It is a huge spirit that is partly invisible and plays the bongo. Its hands are separated from its body and are the only parts of it that are visible without the aid of the Lens of Truth.

Bongo Bongo
Boss of the Shadow Temple,
revived from the well. Look at it
with the eye of truth!

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.

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.

The object of the battle is to stun both hands, to make Bongo Bongo vulnerable. The most effective item to use is the Fairy Bow, but 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.

Alternatively, wait for one hand to attack. Run straight for the other hand that's not moving and smack it with your sword. Quickly turn and move to where the opposing hand will return to. Smack it as soon as it comes back to its original position.

Once both hands have been stunned, use the Lens of Truth to see Bongo Bongo. He'll now open his eyes and rush towards you, with hands on either sides. Hit his open eye to stun him, with the Fairy Bow once again being the most effective weapon. Repeat this process until Bongo Bongo has been defeated.

Trivia

  • If Link has the Ice Arrows, he can shoot one of the hands, causing it to freeze. The other hand then tries to break the ice off the frozen hand, making it vulnerable to Link's attacks.
