A Link to the Past

Main article: Lanmola (A Link to the Past)

In A Link to the Past, the Lanmolas are the boss of the Desert Palace. However, instead of fighting one Lanmola, Link will have to fight three of them at once. The Lanmolas later appear as a Mini-Boss in Ganon's Tower.

The first Lanmola is found in the Yarna Desert, guarding the Angler Key, which is needed to gain access to the fourth dungeon in the game, Angler's Tunnel. The second time is during the final boss battle, where The Shadow Nightmares takes a form of the Lanmola.
