Link needs to throw bombs into its mouth, which damages its exo-skeleton. This reveals an eye beneath, which must be attacked with the sword to eventually defeat it. | ||

Immediately start running up the slope | Immediately start running up the slope ― Link cannot do anything to Scaldera while it is on fire. A little way up, it should cool down, revealing its rocky carapace. If Link throws a bomb at it, it causes to roll down the slope. Follow it down and prepare another bomb. As it opens its mouth in preparation for a fireball attack, throw in a bomb and its explosion chips away some of the carapace, revealing an eye. Slash at it with Link's sword until it re-ignites. Repeat this process until it sustains enough damage to change its strategy to the Second Phase. | ||
If Link | If Link is not fast enough with the second bomb and it launches its fireball attack, dash back and forth to avoid them. If Link runs all the way to the top, he can hide on the far left or right side of the circular platform where neither the fireballs or Scaldera can reach. Link can also pick up some hearts and bombs here. | ||

Scaldera raises its body high above the ground and rushes up the slope past Link. | Scaldera raises its body high above the ground and rushes up the slope past Link. Once Scaldera reaches the top, it will roll down and try to crush Link. Stand on one side of the slope, then dash to the other side before it hits Link, and it will roll past him down to the bottom. Here, it prepares another fireball attack, so throw a bomb in its mouth and repeat the process from the First Phase. The eye moves around this time, which requires more precise aiming of the sword. | ||
