Bongo Bongo is the Boss of the Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time. It is a huge spirit that is partly invisible and plays the bongo. Its hands are separated from its body and are the only parts of him that are visible without the aid of the Lens of Truth.
Bongo Bongo was sealed in the Bottom of the Well by Impa, but he breaks the seal and escapes to the Shadow Temple later in the game.
The Battle

Bongo Bongo |
|---|
The battle takes place on an extremely large bongo (hence the name Bongo Bongo) deep below the Shadow Temple. During the battle only Bongo Bongo's hands are visible without the use of the Lens of Truth. Also, during the battle, he beats his drum in a repetitive pattern with every forth beat bouncing Link up making it difficult to shoot the bow if not Z-Targeting. There are seven attacks that Bongo Bongo utilizes that are predictable for the most part.
Strategies
There are three main strategies used to defeat Bongo Bongo.
Strategy 1
The first of the three strategies is to use your Fairy Bow. The easiest way to do this strategy is to Z-Target whichever hand he is not attacking with and shoot it. During most of his attacks the hand attacking is invulnerable and the one not attacking is vulnerable and you can shoot this one. Although, hen he claps you don't have to be picky just shoot one before he claps.
Strategy 2
The next Strategy is using the sword. All you have to do is when he attacks run to the hand that isn't attacking slash it then run to where the other hand is returns to and slash it.
Strategy 3
The last strategy is fairly simple. If you have the Ice Arrows, shoot one of the hands causing it to freeze, the other hand will then try to break the ice off the frozen hand and his eye will open and you can shoot it.
Once Both Hands Are Stunned...
Once both hands are stunned Bongo Bongo will proceed to use the Charge attack, when this happens, equip the Lens of Truth and do one of two things. Either shoot his eye with an arrow or do a Spin Attack when the fists are on both sides of you (Although you do not need the Lens of Truth it is recommended unless you know exactly where to shoot). After Bongo Bongo is down slash away with the Sword.
