[[File:016_TWW.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The Helmaroc King flying before the battle begins]] At the beginning of the battle, all he will do is fly around the area. Every once in a while he will land and try to peck at Link in order to damage him. If Link dodges the attack the bird's face will get stuck in the ground. Link can then pound it with the Skull Hammer to hurt him. The Helmaroc King has other varying attacks during the fight with Link. Namely, the Helmaroc King will float in the air and rapidly move its wings, creating a gust of air that will push Link back against the nearby wall. There are spikes lining the wall, so Link will need to move forward as much as possible to resist taking damage. Finally, the bird will also try to dive at Link, but Link can dodge this by side stepping immediately before the attack. The bird will usually then run into one of the surrounding walls, or the giant ship nearby. | [[File:016_TWW.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The Helmaroc King flying before the battle begins]] At the beginning of the battle, all he will do is fly around the area.

The Helmaroc King will attack by diving at the Links. It will also occasionally cause [[Boulder]]s to fall from the sky, dealing a half heart of damage each. The Links can use the strategy of throwing bombs at the bird to make it crash. It will land either on the ground on crash into one of the stone caves in the area. The Links can approach it or enter the cave to destroy the bird's mask using the [[Magic Hammer]]. After its mask is broken, they can attack the bird directly with their swords. | |||
