'''Giant Masked Insect: Twinmold''', more simply referred to as '''Twinmold''', is the fourth [[boss]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. This foe presents something of a challenge for [[Link]], as it is not the size of an ordinary boss. Twinmold is also split into two equally powerful worms that protrude from and dive into the sand randomly. The [[Giant's Mask]] that was previously obtained in the [[Stone Tower Temple]] relies on the magic meter, but augments Link's size, therefore allowing him to fight Twinmold more easily.

Twinmold is probably the most painstaking of the bosses to defeat using the [[Fierce Deity's Mask]]. Since the [[Giant's Mask]] was the intended instrument of its destruction, remaining relatively the same size won't exactly make the battle easy. Because Link is not huge, Twinmold poses a much greater threat as it is perhaps the largest Zelda boss in history. The tails and heads of the worms are still its weaknesses, though the limited range of the sword beams and the incredible speed of the two worms make it frustrating to actually get up close and strike the tails and heads. Sword beams aren't very effective here. It's easier to just allow the worms to tunnel into the sand. The tails are only in Link's target range for a split second, so it's important for the player to take the initiative and strike swiftly. After battling Twinmold as Fierce Deity Link, players likely won't want to do it again.
