This boss battle is much easier if Link has acquired the Magic Meter upgrade from [[Kakariko Village]]. [[Fairy|Fairies]] and such might help as well, but magic is more important in this fight.

Link can then grab the container, as well as the fifth [[Crystal]].{{Ref|pg. 73|Finish off the eyeballs to gain a Heart Container—and another crystal!|''Nintendo Power A Link to the Past Four Swords Strategy Guide''}} | ||
