Flare Dancer

The Flare Dancer is a mini boss in the Fire Temple of Ocarina of Time and Ocarina of Time 3D. This type of mini boss usually spins around the room swinging its long blades that are coming out of it. The mini boss is usually defeated using the Hookshot, Megaton Hammer, or using bombs. Once the core is exposed it will run around to avoid Link by running around the room. Once blocked by Link, it will skid to a halt and run in the other direction. It is the easiest to bring the core to you with your hookshot and then attack with your sword. After attacking, the flames around the core will turn yellow/orange to purple/blue and then two shades of green.
