Once he is done he returns to his bottle, at which point the bottle can be stunned with the sword and thrown with the [[Power Bracelet]]. Once this is done three times, his bottle breaks and he is open to a sword slash.

Once Link rams the wall with the [[Pegasus Boots]], Slime Eyes falls to the ground and is open to attack. He can be separated with the sword, and then split in two with the Pegasus Boots once both Slime eyes are only held by a thread, leaving both Slime Eyes open to sword slashes. After each it, he will retreat to the ceiling and attempt to fall on Link, which can stun him unless he jumps in time with [[Roc's Feather]]. After enough slashes, Slime Eyes will be defeated.

Slime Eel is the boss of the fifth dungeon, [[Catfish's Maw]]. He begins the fight by breaking the middle of the floor with his tail and breaks four holes in the wall, one in each corner. He then proceeds to spin his tail around the room, which must be dodged or jumped over. He pokes his head out of a random hole, which can be grabbed using the [[Hookshot]] to pull him out and expose his heart, which can be slashed at for damage as he slowly recedes back into the hole. Slash his heart enough to defeat him.

[[File:Evil Eagle.png|right]]

{{Main|Hot Head}}
Hot Head is the boss of the eighth dungeon, [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]]. Most of the room is filled with lava. He jumps out of the lava, creating four fireballs which travel in multiple diagonal directions when he lands. When he is out of the lava, a shot from the [[Magic Rod]] will remove the fire from his face, causing him to bounce around the room at which point he can be hit more times before falling back into the lava. Enough hits and the mask will break. Keep on hitting him until he is defeated.

{{Main|Shadow Nightmares#Agahnim's Shadow}}
The second shadow acts like [[Agahnim]] from ''A Link to the Past''. It teleports to certain locations. It will then shoot one of two projectiles: a large fireball, or a smaller x-shaped projectile, which must be avoided as it can't be hit or deflected. In order to damage it, Link must deflect the large fireball back at it. Repeat enough times and it will transform.

The fourth shadow is similar to the first part of the [[Ganon]] fight from ''A Link to the Past''. It spins its [[Trident]] around, summoning [[Blazing Bat]]s which it sends at Link before throwing the trident at him. [[Spin Attack]]s and Pegasus Boots are the most effective at damaging it.

The second to last shadow is different from the [[Lanmola]]s fight in ''A Link to the Past'' and the [[Desert Lanmola]] fight earlier in the game in that it stays above-ground the entire time, moving rapidly along the ground in attempt to run into Link.

The final form of the Nightmare Shadow, Dethl swings its two arms in a circle, which must be jumped over. Once its eye opens, Link can fire an arrow into it using the [[Bow]] to damage it. Link must use 16 arrows to defeat it. Alternatively, Link can use the [[Boomerang]], which will defeat it in only one hit and put an end to the Shadow Nightmares.

Evil Orb is the boss of the [[Color Dungeon]] exclusive to the DX version. It starts out blue, then when Link hits it, it turns green, light green, yellow, orange, then finally red. Link must keep on hitting it, otherwise it will revert  to its earlier colors until it turns blue again, starting the fight over. It will sometimes shoot stars and when it's red, it will summon [[Stalfos]]. Hit it enough times when it's red to defeat it.
