'''Puppet Ganon''' is a [[ | '''Puppet Ganon''' is a [[boss]] of [[Ganon's Tower]], the final [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. It is fought just before the final clash against [[Ganon]]dorf. This colossal marionette proves to be quite the challenge before the last boss is encountered in the game. When [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] fights Puppet Ganon the battle shifts through three phases, each one with this monstrosity taking on a new form. | ||
Before the battle begins, a scene will play where Link and Ganondorf discuss [[Zelda]]'s dreams. Ganondorf comments about how what the [[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule|King]] had said was all ridiculous, and instead that it was their gods who destroyed them. Ganondorf also states that he was waiting for Link to arrive, whom he tells to not betray his expectations. Ganondorf begins to deform until the curtains reveal that standing before Link now was none other than Puppet Ganon. | Before the battle begins, a scene will play where Link and Ganondorf discuss [[Zelda]]'s dreams.

For each of the three phases of Puppet Ganon, Link will need to use Light Arrows to hit the ball located on their tails. For the first phase, Link can pull out the [[Boomerang]] and use it to cut some of the puppet's strings. Most importantly, Link will want to cut the one holding up the puppet's tail. Each string takes a couple of hits to take down, so make sure to target each a couple of times in order to knock them down. The other strings attached to Puppet Ganon's arms may get in the way of aptly using the Boomerang, so be patient throughout this process. Once the tail is down, Link must target the crystal orb on the tail with a light arrow. After a successful shot to the orb, the puppet will fly upwards, and will be completely stringed once again.

Puppet Ganon has a few means of attacking Link. First, Puppet Ganon has a remarkable reach and can punch Link no matter the distance they are from each other. Puppet Ganon will also release some [[Keese]] to distract Link while he is trying to attack its tail. These Keese can be valuable, as they will often drop magic to refill Link's ability to | Puppet Ganon has a few means of attacking Link.

Midway through the fight, Puppet Ganon can also return to the top of the room and reattach the currently severed threads, restarting some of the fight over. | ||

Now taking on the shape of a spider, Puppet Ganon rises above the battle field to the top of the room. This stage of the fight is by far the easiest for Link to fight. Link must now use the water on the ground to see where the large puppet is going to land, as Puppet Ganon's reflection is clearly visible on it. With Puppet Ganon spinning rapidly above him, Link must seek out the spaces between the large puppet's long legs and avoid being hit by them when Puppet Ganon lands. Before Puppet Ganon lands it will stop spinning at the top of the room. When this occurs, Link must quickly find the crystal orb located on one of its legs. He must then run over to an open space in-between that leg and the leg next to it. | Now taking on the shape of a spider, Puppet Ganon rises above the battle field to the top of the room.

A safer approach is to stand near one of the walls while it slithers around. Link can then take out the arrows and line up a shot to hit the orb as best he can. This will likely take many tries, as it requires hitting a fast and moving target. If Link runs out of magic, make sure to defeat the Keese that fly down every now and then to obtain more. After each hit the snake will increase its speed, moving quite rapidly by the time it has been hit twice. After Link has hit the orb three times Puppet Ganon will explode, ending the battle for good. | ||
