[[File:DemonTrain02 BarrelExplode.png|200px|thumb|left|''An exploding barrel'']] The battle with the Demon Train takes place on four adjacent sets of rails, with it taking up two of them due to its massive size. Link must navigate the tracks carefully to avoid a collision with the Demon Train as well as with the dark fire that obstructs his path on occasion. There is also only a limited amount of time in which the Demon Train must be defeated before the tracks come to an end, at which point the Spirit Train will plummet into the darkness below. | [[File:DemonTrain02 BarrelExplode.png|200px|thumb|left|''An exploding barrel'']] The battle with the Demon Train takes place on four adjacent sets of rails, with it taking up two of them due to its massive size.

The third and final phase of the fight pits Link against the engine of the Demon Train. As the hero comes up beside it, a series of cogs along its sides will arrange themselves and shoot out lasers in random directions. Destroying all of these slows the Demon Train and allows Link to get in front of it, where he must pound at its face with cannon fire. Repeating this process once more will stop the Demon Train in its tracks, allowing Link and Zelda to climb aboard. | The third and final phase of the fight pits Link against the engine of the Demon Train.

*In real life, the Demon Train would be classified as a 2-8-0, having two leading wheels and eight driving wheels, known commonly as a Consolidation. This type of locomotive was used in the United States for freight service, and was discovered to be more powerful than older types of locomotives, fitting nicely with the locomotive in the game. | *In real life, the Demon Train would be classified as a 2-8-0, having two leading wheels and eight driving wheels, known commonly as a Consolidation.
