Big Octo: Difference between revisions

'''Big Octo''' are bigger variations of standard [[Octorok|Octoroks]] from 3D [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'']] titles.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]'', pg. 166}} They have been in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' as a [[Mini-Boss]], and in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' as enemies.

There is only one Big Octo found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', and it serves as the mini-boss of [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly]]. It is fought in a very small, round room with a spinning spiked platform in the center. In order to defeat him, [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] needs to stun him with the [[Boomerang]], and then hit him in the round blob on his back with his [[sword]]. If this monster is facing towards him, then he will need to wait for the stun to wear off until Big Octo starts spinning, and then stun it again, hoping its back is facing him. A good four hits with the [[Kokiri Sword]] should do him in. While fighting the Big Octo, there will be spikes attached to the platform in the middle of the room. It is recommended to watch out for these spikes as they can push Link down and may delay the rescue of [[Ruto]].

Big Octos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' are only found in the [[Southern Swamp]] while it is poisoned. If [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] gets too close to one, it'll suck him in, and spit him out again, dealing a lot of damage. They can only be killed with something pointy such as the boat tour boat, or the [[Hero's Bow]].

{{main|The Wind Waker Big Octos}}

Big Octos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' have a very different visual appearance than that of previous [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'']] titles, and are only found in specific spots around the [[Great Sea]]. A flock of four seagulls indicates that a Big Octo is there. Approaching one will get [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link's]] [[King of Red Lions|boat]] stuck in a whirlpool, and the Big Octo will rise out of the sea.

Big Octos have a number of eyes, ranging from four, eight, and twelve. The only items that work against them are [[Bomb]]s, the [[Bow]], and the [[Boomerang]]. The Boomerang takes five hits per eye, [[arrow]]s take two hits, and bombs take one hit per eye when fired from the [[Cannon]]. Failure in destroying all of the eyes fast enough will result in Link getting sucked in and then spat out by the creature, which deposits him elsewhere within the sector. Killing the four-eyed one will make a [[Great Fairy]] appear, who gives Link a [[Magic Meter]] enhancement. Killing an eight-eyed one will create a light ring with a [[Treasure Chest|chest]] containing an Orange [[Rupee]], while defeating a twelve-eyed one will grant Link a [[Piece of Heart]].

The Big Octos can be found at the following locations and coordinates:

*[[Two-Eye Reef]] - D7
