Demon Train: Difference between revisions

The '''Demon Train''' is the train used by [[Chancellor Cole]] and [[Malladus]] to help in their quest to revive Malladus in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''. It comes from the [[Dark Realm]] that Chancellor Cole locates by using the [[Compass of Light]] that [[Byrne]] created. The Demon Train is first seen when Cole and Byrne appear to take [[Princess Zelda]]'s body to resurrect Malladus. Once Malladus is resurrected, he and Cole use the Demon Train to flee to the Dark Realm. The Demon Train is one of the last [[boss]] fights in the game. It also serves as the battleground for the fight between Cole and Malladus which comes right after the actual fight with the Demon Train.

 

The Demon Train is arguable one of the largest bosses [[Link]] faces in the series. Although it isn't very tall, it has a massive horizontal length. It is much larger than the [[Spirit Train]] and has 2 cars attached to the end of the engine. At the front of the train is a dark grey face with a red nose that somewhat resembles [[Ganondorf]]. Despite the Demon Train being a vehicle, it does seem to be semi-sentient with facial expressions, grunts, and roars which might conclude that it is some kind of evil spirit or being in the form of a locomotive.

There are three stages to the boss fight with the Demon Train. Link must use the [[cannon]] of the Spirit Train to destroy the Demon Train. The fight takes place on four sets of train tracks. The Demon Train uses up two sets of tracks while Link uses the other two for the Spirit Train. The Demon Train occasionally switches between the two sets of tracks; to avoid hitting it, Link must put the Spirit Train in reverse to slow it down. During this battle, Link cannot come to a full stop in the Spirit Train, only change speeds (with reverse being the slowest). On some parts of the track there are dark fires that damage the Spirit Train if not avoided by Link.
