Waterblight Ganon killed [[Mipha]] during the Great Calamity, taking control of [[Vah Ruta]] for Calamity Ganon, eventually serving as boss of [[Divine Beast Vah Ruta|the dungeon]] when Link came to free it of Ganon's control 100 years later. Due to Lanayru being in relative close proximity to [[Kakariko Village (Breath of the Wild)|Kakariko Village]], it may well be the first Blight that Link encounters. If Link doesn't fight Waterblight Ganon inside of Vah Ruta, he will later encounter the boss in the [[Sanctum]] inside of [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], where it will be the second Blight that Link faces at the Sanctum. | |||

===Strategy=== | |||
====Phase 1==== | |||
During the first phase of the battle, Waterblight Ganon will wield a massive spear and will attack you with it. The most risk-reward method of battling it is to wait for it to attack and then try to time a [[Perfect Dodge]] on it by hopping away at the last second, followed by a Flurry Rush where you can deliver a number of attacks in a short period of time. The much safer route is to keep your distance and use projectiles such as arrows, or even just tossing your weapons out at Waterblight Ganon. | During the first phase of the battle, Waterblight Ganon will wield a massive spear and will attack you with it.

====Phase 2==== | |||
After Waterblight Ganon has lost half its health, this will trigger the second phase of the battle. The room will flood with water and only four platforms remain. Waterblight Ganon will create a block of ice and launch it towards you. The block can be disintegrated by using the [[Cryonis]] ability, so be sure to keep that handy, or frozen with [[Stasis]]. As the battle progresses, Waterblight Ganon will begin to shoot three ice blocks out at a time, and then five ice blocks. These can be quite damaging, so be sure to have Cryonis readily available. | After Waterblight Ganon has lost half its health, this will trigger the second phase of the battle.

If you do run out of arrows, then Perfect Dodges are about your only method of dealing damage. You can also freeze one of its ice blocks with Stasis, and then hit it back at it. You can damage it with bombs, but it is hard to get close to it. | If you do run out of arrows, then Perfect Dodges are about your only method of dealing damage.

===Health Points=== | |||
As with all the Blights, this Blight's Health Points (HP) depend on a number of factors, including the place where they're fought, and given that circumstance, the number of Blights that have been defeated before it. | As with all the Blights, this Blight's Health Points (HP) depend on a number of factors, including the place where they're fought, and given that circumstance, the number of Blights that have been defeated before it. | ||

[[File:Mipha vs Waterblight Ganon - HWAoC.jpg|thumb|250px|left]] | |||
Waterblight Ganon was created by Calamity Ganon to corrupt the [[Divine Beast]] [[Vah Ruta]] and kill the Zora Champion Mipha. In the [[Water and Fire]] Scenario]], it is seen battling the Zora princess and froze the water in the area which deprives Mipha of her usual way of attacking and it rushes at her with its icy flail and Cryonic formations and throws them at her. Before the attacks can land, the Gate of Time appears and [[Sidon]] emerges to block its attacks, refusing to lose her again to Mipha's surprise. Waterblight Ganon starts gaining the advantage over them, as Mipha approaches it despite knowing how strong it is, which Sidon protests against her doing so. Sidon's actions have brought enough time for Link and the heroes to catch up to them and with their combined efforts, Waterblight Ganon is slain, having failed to take Vah Ruta and kill its Zora pilot, which allows Mipha to help cool the lava flows to help them assist Daruk and Yunobo. | |||
Waterblight Ganon is later revived through the sacrifice of the souls of the Yiga Clan by Astor along with the other Blights and the prophet sends them after [[Master Kohga]] and [[Sooga]]. During [[EX The Yiga Clan's Retreat]] ''The Guardian of Remembrance'' Scenario, Waterblight Ganon and its elemental counterparts chase down Master Kohga and Sooga until they have them surrounded until Sooga uses a Yiga technique to immobilize them and allow Kohga and the surviving Yiga Clanmates to escape without him. Sooga's final fate is currently unknown. | |||
During the [[Each Step Like Thunder]] Scenario, Astor confronts Link, Princess Zelda, and Impa at Fort Hateno and summons the Blight Ganons to take their lives. Link battles them alone as Impa and Zelda flee, but the former breaks free and runs back and in the process, her power awakens, which stuns the blights and exorcizes the Guardians from corruption. The Blights recovered after a while and tried to prevent Purah and her allies from activating the failsafe, but they are defeated again. | |||
In [[The Future of Hyrule]], Waterblight Ganon and the other blights are the major enemies that the heroes encounter before facing Astor, Harbinger Ganon, and eventually Calamity Ganon. All of the blights are destroyed for good. | |||
Waterblight Ganon's design is much more different than it was in ''Breath of the Wild'', with it also wielding an ice flail in addition to its spear and utilizing more of its ice abilities, which makes it a much bigger threat. It is notably more challenging in the boss fight, even when the difficulty is set to Easy. | |||
