'''Windblight Ganon''' is a boss in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. It was created by [[Calamity Ganon]] to corrupt the [[Divine Beast]] [[Vah Medoh]], eventually serving as boss of the dungeon when [[Link]] came to free it of Ganon's control 100 years later. If Link doesn't fight Windblight Ganon inside of Vah Medoh, he will later encounter the boss in the [[Sanctum]] inside of [[Hyrule Castle]].

In the [[EX Champion Revali's Song]] [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|DLC quest]], Windblight Ganon is fought again with limited equipment in the [[Illusory Realm]].

Line 18: Line 20:
The fight begins with Windblight Ganon teleporting to a position in the room, and will prepare one of two attacks: it will either fire four consecutive laser beams from its arm cannon or summon a small tornado which will move erratically around the arena. When it does these attacks, Link should simply run from them: there's no counter. After Windblight Ganon shoots the laser beams, it will be vulnerable if it is at ground level. At this stage, it's best for Link to equip a [[Breath of the Wild One-Handed Weapons|One-Handed Weapon]], such as the [[Master Sword]] which has an increased power of 60, and keep slashing until Windblight Ganon gets up and teleports to a different position. Link should take caution however; after taking some hits Windblight Ganon will attempt to attack Link.

Another strategy is to use arrows, [[Bomb Arrows]] are particularly useful since they deal a large amount of damage. If Link can hit three critical shots before Windblight Ganon teleports away, it will drop to the ground and be vulnerable to attacks. At this stage, Link can use a [[Breath of the Wild Two-Handed Weapons|Two-Handed Weapon]] in combination with a charged attack to inflict large amounts of damage very quickly. If Link has possession of [[Urbosa's Fury]], it can be deal astounding damage to the boss, as well as electrocuting it to allow for more hits to be inflicted.

Line 25: Line 27:
If Link is having difficulties aiming, it is viable to use the updrafts situated around the rooms and prepare an aerial attack by drawing his bow whilst in mid-air, allowing for more precise aiming, however this technique can't be utilized if Link is fighting Windblight Ganon in Hyrule Castle, since no updrafts are present. Finally, once at 10% health, Windblight Ganon might resort to using a fully-charged Guardian laser. If it does do this, Link can dodge it by jumping to the side, running away, or he can attempt a Perfect Guard to deflect the beam, which will create an opening for attack.

===Notes===
* When fought in the [[Illusory Realm]], if attack-enhancing meals or elixirs aren't used, there's the possibility that the melee weapon provided will break before defeating Windblight if used exclusively. However, it's possible to finish him off with arrows and [[Remote Bomb]]s. Also, the sole bow provided may also break in a similar manner.
 
==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.
