Cueball is the mini-boss of Angler's Tunnel, the fourth dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. It looks very much like a giant Octorok, and in fact is identical in appearance and behavior to the Fire Cephalopod, the mini-boss of Turtle Rock dungeon. Cueball lives and fights in water. Its only weak spot is its fleshy backside, where Link must strike repeatedly with his sword to defeat it.

'''Cue Ball''' is a [[Mini-Boss]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. It appears twice: first in [[Angler's Tunnel]], and again in [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]].


== Strategy ==
==Battles==
Cueball will always move around the square centered in the middle of the room. When it approaches, charge up for a Spin Attack and use Roc's Feather to jump over it and release the Spin Attack when Link is near its backside. Another way to defeat it is to chase it with the Pegasus Boots, following it around and ramming into its back. After it has taken damage, its direction will change, so just use the same technique again. The number of times this must be repeated depends on which sword Link is using.
===Angler's Tunnel===
Cue Ball's first appearance is in the fourth [[dungeon]] of ''Link's Awakening''. It is found in a room filled with shallow water. Cue Ball is a very simple enemy; its only attack is to charge at [[Link]], travelling in a rectangular manner around the room. It may randomly change directions in order to hit Link. To defeat it, Link must hit its back, which is its weak point. He can use the [[Pegasus Boots]] to catch up with it and attack it with his [[sword]]. Another option is to jump over it when it heads toward Link with [[Roc's Feather]] and hit its back before it has the chance to turn around. After it is defeated, Link will be able to enter the next room, and after traversing it, he will find the [[Flippers]].
 
===Turtle Rock===
In Turtle Rock, Cue Ball reappears along with the other mini-bosses. This time, it is in a room with lava. Other than that, the battle does not change much from the first time; Link can use the exact same strategies to kill Cue Ball as he did in Angler's Tunnel. After that, Link must solve a puzzle in the next room to obtain the [[Nightmare Key]].
