'''Manhandla''' is the third [[ | '''Manhandla''' is the third [[boss]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. It is first encountered in [[Level 3: The Manji]], where it acts as the final defense of the third [[Triforce Shard#The Legend of Zelda|Triforce fragment]]. It also later appears in [[Level 4: The Snake]] and [[Level 8: The Lion]] as the [[Mini-Boss|mini-boss]] of both dungeons.

Manhandla first appears in Level 3: The Manji as the boss of this dungeon. This boss will use two methods of attack; it will first try to shoot fireballs at [[Link]] that will cause a whole heart of damage. Its second attack is to ram into Link, which also causes a heart of damage. Link can defeat Manhandla in two ways. First, Link can use his [[Bomb]]s to destroy the claws that are attached to the body, instantly defeating Manhandla. Alternatively, Link can attack the claws with his [[Sword]], but this can get quite difficult, as Link will have to come very close to Manhandla, causing a rise in the chance of Manhandla making contact with Link. Defeating Manhandla rewards Link with the third [[Triforce Shard]]. | Manhandla first appears in Level 3: The Manji as the boss of this dungeon.

This Manhandla is exactly the same as the one Link fought in Level 3. Attack its four claws and Manhandla will be defeated. Technically, defeating Manhandla is actually not required to complete the dungeon. This is because by defeating Manhandla, the locked door at the top of the room will open, allowing Link to continue. However, Link can avoid that room by bombing the wall to the right, creating a shortcut. | ||
