Gleeok (The Legend of Zelda): Difference between revisions

| reward = [[Heart Container]]<br/>[[Triforce Shard]]

'''Gleeok''' is the fourth [[Boss]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. Gleeok is first encountered in [[Level 4: The Snake]], where it is the guardian of the fourth [[Triforce Shard]]. Two dungeons later, in [[Level 6: The Dragon]], Gleeok again appears, but this time as the [[Mini-Boss]]. Gleeok appears for the third and final time in [[Level 8: The Lion]], as the boss.

Gleeok first appears as the boss guarding the fourth [[Triforce Shard]] in Level 4: The Snake.{{Ref|pg. 87|The Gleeok that you have beat on Level 4 is back again in room I, only now he has 3 heads and he's a lot more powerful!|''[[The Legend of Zelda Tips & Tactics Strategy Guide]]''}} This variation of Gleeok has two heads. The only way to defeat Gleeok is to destroy each of its heads, in this case two. Link can use either use his [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|Sword]] or the [[Magical Rod]] to destroy Gleeok's heads. Once one head is destroyed, it turns into a red, ghostly version of the head and then floats around the room to try to hurt Link.{{Ref|pg. 27|Gleeok shoots a beam, and even if you cut off its head, the head itself will attack you as it flies.|''The Legend of Zelda Tips & Tactics Strategy Guide''}}{{Ref|pg. 77|Although the heads can attack Link even after being separated from Gleeok's body, just take the damage and attack.|''The Legend of Zelda Tips & Tactics Strategy Guide''}} Another caution for Link is that Gleeok's fireballs cannot be blocked by the [[Magical Shield]]. After [[Link]] has destroyed each head, Gleeok will be defeated and Link will have the opportunity to obtain the Triforce Shard.

Gleeok's first appearance in the Second Quest is as the boss of Level 2. Just like in Level 4 of the First Quest, Gleeok is guarding the Triforce Shard and has two heads that must be destroyed in order to complete the dungeon. The only difference between these fights is that it takes place earlier in Link's journey during this quest, so he may not be as well-equipped to face the boss as he was in the First Quest.
