Dodongo
These giant lizards are slow moving and bulky, but watch out because they can do a lot of damage if you're not careful. Their primary attack is to breathe fire at Link, which makes them sit still for awhile. By getting close, you can make them do this, then quickly circle around and smack their tail (the only place they're vulnerable). They'll howl and spin around quickly, so get out of the way or else their tail will hit Link. Circle around and repeat the process. You can even do a jump attack on their tail with a Deku Stick to take them out in one hit. If Link positions himself right, he can throw a Bomb or Bomb Flower in front of them and they'll swallow it, destroying them at once.

Oracle of Ages
The only Dodongo found in Oracle of Ages is Dmitri, a dodongo who allows Link to ride on his back, allowing him to travel through water. He is met on Crescent Island after completing the third dungeon, Moonlit Grotto, when he is being annoyed by Tokay. After rescuing him from the Tokay, Link rides on Dmitri's back to get back to the land of Labrynna.
Oracle of Seasons
Dodongo is the boss of the second dungeon, Snake's Remains. He is a slow, brownish lizard with spikes along the top of his body. He can attack in two ways: he will either charge at you, or breath a series of fireballs in your direction. Both of these attacks are easily avoided by simply moving out of his line of sight. In order to defeat him, you will need to equip the power bracelet and bombs. When he opens his mouth, toss a bomb in. You can then pick him up using the power bracelet and throw him onto the spikes in the middle of the room (being careful not to step on the spikes yourself). After being thrown on the spikes four times, Dodongo will be defeated.
Dmitri also appears in this game.
