Gleeok (The Legend of Zelda): Difference between revisions

| reward = [[Heart Container]]<br/>[[Triforce Shard]]

'''Gleeok''' is the fourth [[Boss]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. Gleeok is first encountered in [[Level 4: The Snake]], where it is the guardian of the fourth [[Triforce Shard]]. Two dungeons later, in [[Level 6: The Dragon]], Gleeok again appears, but this time as the [[Mini-Boss]]. Gleeok appears for the third and final time in [[Level 8: The Lion]], as the boss.

Gleeok first appears as the boss guarding the fourth [[Triforce Shard]] in Level 4: The Snake.{{Ref|pg. 87|The Gleeok that you have beat on Level 4 is back again in room I, only now he has 3 heads and he's a lot more powerful!|''[[The Legend of Zelda Tips & Tactics Strategy Guide]]''}} This variation of Gleeok has two heads. The only way to defeat Gleeok is to destroy each of its heads, in this case two. Link can use either use his [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|Sword]] or the [[Magical Rod]] to destroy Gleeok's heads. Once one head is destroyed, it turns into a red, ghostly version of the head and then floats around the room to try to hurt Link.{{Ref|pg. 27|Gleeok shoots a beam, and even if you cut off its head, the head itself will attack you as it flies.|''The Legend of Zelda Tips & Tactics Strategy Guide''}}{{Ref|pg. 77|Although the heads can attack Link even after being separated from Gleeok's body, just take the damage and attack.|''The Legend of Zelda Tips & Tactics Strategy Guide''}} Another caution for Link is that Gleeok's fireballs cannot be blocked by the [[Magical Shield]]. After [[Link]] has destroyed each head, Gleeok will be defeated and Link will have the opportunity to obtain the Triforce Shard.
