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, it beats its 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.
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.

===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 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 its attacks, the hand attacking is invulnerable and the one not attacking is vulnerable and it can be hit. Although, when it claps, it is not necessary to be picky-just shoot one before it 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 is not attacking, slash it, then run to the spot where the other hand returns 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 then tries to break the ice off the frozen hand and Bongo Bongo's eye opens and hence, makes 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 Fiary Bow once again being the most effective weapon. Repeat this process until Bongo Bongo has been defeated.
Once both hands are stunned, Bongo Bongo proceeds to use the Charge attack. When this happens, Link should equip the Lens of Truth and do one of two things. Either Link can shoot its eye with an arrow or perform a [[Spin Attack]] when the fists are on both sides of it (Although the Lens of Truth is not required in this battle, it is recommended unless Link knows exactly where to shoot). After Bongo Bongo is down, Link should slash away with the sword.


==Trivia==
*If [[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.
