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 (The Legend of Zelda)|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 makes its first appearance in the Second Quest as the mini-boss of the second level. Though this room must be passed in order to access the [[Recorder]], the door to the next room is open, and Link can rush through without fighting the mini-boss if he wishes.
