The best way to kill him is to grab one jar from the set of three jars and go and throw it at him. After two hits he will be dead. Get the Big Key that he leaves behind and rescue Princess Zelda.

==Boss==

The first time Link encounters Agahnim is during A Link to the Past when, after retrieving the master sword, he is contacted telepathically by princess Zelda's plea for help. After going to the sanctuary and finding the dying sage, Link returns to Hyrule Castle,and ascends the tower, only to find Agahnim completing the sacrificial ritual. Overcome by anger Link battles Agahnim. Once Agahnim realizes he has lost, and that he is close to death, he uses the now open gate to draw Link into the Dark World, making his escape.

===Boss Strategy===

After some trash talking from Agahnim, the battle will begin. In order to defeat Agahnim, you must use his own power against him. He will go around the room shooting different things out at you. He shoots three things. One, if he shoots a blue circle that looks like a necklace at you, just dodge it. When he is at the top-center of the screen go to either the left or the right side of the screen. If he faces you then be ready to deflect. If he is facing straight down he will shoot lightning. Just stay out of the way. The third thing he will shoot is a small glowing ball at you. Use the master sword to deflect it back at him. After a couple of hits, he will be history.

==Items==

After a brief scolding, his uncle will give Link the sword that was used in the failed attempt at breaching the castle. This is one of the weakest weapons in the game, in addition to being the easiest weapon to obtain the first time.

===Boomerang===

While exploring the Castle Dungeon looking for Zelda at the beginning of the game, you'll come across a treasure chest, and it has the Boomerang. It can stun enemies and pick up objects like Hearts and bring them back to you.
