==Level 4: The Snake==
Gleeok first appears as the boss guarding the fourth [[Triforce Shard]] in Level 4: The Snake. This variation of Gleeok has two heads. The only way to kill Gleeok is to destroy each of its heads, in this case two. Link can use either use his [[Sword]] or the [[Magical Rod]] to destroy Gleeok's heads. Once one head is destroyed, it will turn into a red, ghost version of the head. It will then float around the room and try to hurt Link. Another caution for Link is that Gleeok's fireballs cannot be blocked by the [[Magical Shield]]. After [[Link]] has destroyed each head, Gleeok will die and Link will have the opportunity to obtain the Triforce Shard, which Gleeok was guarding.
