The Bosses

Here is a list of the Bosses in The Legend of Zelda. Bear in mind that some bosses are repeated in the later levels and also that some former bosses appear as "sub-bosses" in other levels.

Aquamentus
Dungeon One - The "E"
	Description: A big dragon thing with a single horn on its head.
	How does it attack?: It walks back and forth (but not very far) and shoots three fireballs across the room.
	How do I defeat it?: Get a good distance away from it so you can dodge its fire and start shooting it with your sword. If you get hit then walk up to it and swing away. Takes about six regular sword hits to defeat it.
	Extra Info: Bombs are very useful against Aquamentus too. Two bombs near its head will do in this dragon. The Aquamentus also appears as a sub-boss in Dungeons 4 and 8.

Two-Headed Gleeok
Dungeon Two - The "A"
	Description: A two-headed fireball-spewing head-flying Dragon.
	How does it attack?: It stands in one place and shoots fireballs at you. Also, its chopped-off heads fly around the room, also shooting fireballs.
	How do I defeat it?: Attack its heads with your sword. The first head will take five white sword hits and the second head takes three hits. If you haven't picked up the white sword yet then it will take ten hits for the first head and six hits for the second head with the regular sword.
	Extra Info: The Two-Headed Gleeok also appears in the game as a sub-boss in Dungeon 6.

Dodongo
Dungeon Three - The "L"
	Description: A relatively nimble armored triceratops.
	How does it attack?: It roams around the screen hoping to hit you.
	How do I defeat it?: Wait until it has almost run into you, then drop a bomb. He will eat it and swell up as it explodes. Do this twice and the Dodongo is no more.

Digdogger
Dungeon Four - The "D"
	Description: A giant mushy eye.
	How does it attack?: It doesn't attack much. When it gets small it starts moving quickly and tries to hit you.
