Shadow Nightmares: Difference between revisions

Unlike the [[Lanmola]]s encountered in ''[[Lanmola (A Link to the Past)|A Link to the Past]]'' and the [[Desert Lanmola]] in ''Link's Awakening'', this Lanmola{{Ref|pg.84|The Lanmola looks menacing, but it can't take the heat of the battle, especially if you attack it with the Magic Rod.|''Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide''}}, also referred to as '''Lanmola's Shadow'''{{Ref|Lanmola's Shadow|During Link's final battle in Koholint Island's Wind Fish Egg, he faced a series of dark guardians which were shadows of his former foes. The fifth of these creatures to appear was Lanmola's Shadow, which Link defeated by attacking it with the Magic Rod.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150722213853/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/l.jsp#Lanmola'sShadow The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]}}, doesn't have distinctions/relations with them. Seemingly appearing as the Shadow Nightmares' collective form that Link catches a glimpse of in between each form, Lanmola serves as a last ditch attempt to defeat Link. While moving around the room, Lanmola leaves trails of itself behind it. While its only attack is to come into contact with Link, it moves quickly around the room taking one heart of damage to Link every time it comes in contact with him. Lanmola is invulnerable to Link's sword, but unlike previous forms, Lanmola can be defeated with most of Link's items including the [[Magic Rod]], a Spin Attack, the [[Hookshot]], a [[Bomb]], the Pegasus Boots, or the [[Boomerang]]. Only a single strike is needed which causes Lanmola to stop its movement and transform into The Shadows Nightmares' final, deadly form.
