Template:Boss Giant Masked Insect: Twinmold is the boss of Stone Tower Temple in Majora's Mask.[1] The colossal monster is responsible for all the curses that have been placed on Ikana Canyon,[2] and is keeping the final Giant captive. Twinmold's body is protected by an exoskeleton that leaves only its head and tail exposed.[3]

Strategy

Twinmold's boss room is located above the room where the Garo Master is fought. To defeat Twinmold, Link must attack its vulnerable heads and tails. The most effective method for defeating Twinmold is to use the Sword while wearing the Giant's Mask, which allows Link to grow to the size of Twinmold. However, Link will not be able to use Z-Targeting while using the Giant's Mask. As the mask drains Link's Magic Meter, Link can replenish it by destroying the pillars found throughout the area, which contain Magic Jars. It is possible to defeat Twinmold without the Giant's Mask by shooting Arrows at Twinmold's weak points. Ice Arrows are effective against Twinmold's red tail, as are Fire Arrows against its blue tail.

If Link strays too far from the initial platform during the battle, even if he is wearing the Giant's Mask, he will sink into the sand. This causes him to be returned to the dungeon's entrance. Twinmold may fly past this boundary in an effort to lure Link into the trap.

Once Link has dealt sufficient damage to one half of Twinmold, its body will explode, with its head crashing into the sand. Once both parts of Twinmold are defeated, Link will receive a Heart Container and Twinmold's Remains, freeing the final Giant who was trapped in Twinmold's body.[4] Twinmold's defeat lifts the curse on Ikana, causing the undead monsters brought to life by the curse to disappear.

In Majora's Mask 3D they are more powerful than their Nintendo 64 counterpart, the red Twinmold will shoot fireballs and summon Moldorm to attack Link. Link must also fight Twinmold with his bare hands while giant. He can also spin and then whip it to the ground to reveal an eye as its weak spot, but only after it has fallen to the ground from being weakened.

Etymology

Twinmold's name may be a reference to Moldorms, with "Twin" referring to the fact that there are two of them.

Trivia

  • Twinmold bears resemblance to the Lanmola from A Link to the Past.
  • In the 3DS version, this is the first Boss fight that rewards an Item during battle.
