Once [[Link]] enters the room, four spectral Medusa Heads reveal themselves and float to the middle of the room, merging to make Medusa Head. It proceeds to float around the room and occasionally breathes out three fireballs followed by two fireballs. Shortly after, Medusa Head can go into two different states, one that resembles a [[sword]] and a state resembling a [[shield]].{{Ref|pg. 57|The leader of the Sword & Shield Maze has two states— one that makes it look like a sword and one that makes it look like a shield.|''[[Nintendo Power Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages Strategy Guide]]''}} In its shield state, Medusa Head teleports to the middle of the room and begins to shoot orbs from its mouth in a circular array of blue orbs across the room. If Link gets hit by one of its orbs, he becomes frozen in stone for a few seconds and vulnerable to Medusa Head's fireballs. When Medusa Head is in its sword state, it reappears at one of the top corners of the room to shoot lasers from both of its eyes while moving to the other side.

In order for Link to defeat Medusa Head, he can briefly stun the boss by using the [[Hyper Slingshot]] equipped with [[Pegasus Seed]]s. After it is stunned, Link can attack it with his sword. However, he does not need to stun Medusa Head to defeat it but can use the [[Roc's Cape]] to jump over the boss's attacks. Once Link defeats Medusa Head, he is rewarded with a [[Heart Container]] and the eighth and last [[Essences of Nature|Essence of Nature]], the [[Changing Seasons]].

In the ''Oracle of Seasons'' manga, Medelock appears in Chapter 7: ''The Great Witch Maple''. After [[Maple]] the Witch meets Link and [[Ricky]] in the [[Temple of Seasons]], she tries to summon spirits to help her find the [[Rod of Seasons]], but no spirits are summoned. After calling herself stupid, a mysterious voice asks Maple if she is the one searching for the Rod of Seasons. Thinking she successfully summoned a spirit, she happily replies that the spirit is right. The mysterious voice proceeds to ask if she is the chosen one. Maple excitedly answers she is and gloats that she will become a great witch, asking the spirit where the Rod of Seasons is. The spirit reveals that it cannot hand over the rod to her. However, it confuses Maple for the hero who beares the crest, Link, and tells her it has been waiting for her.
