Evil Eagle: Difference between revisions

Link can block most of the Evil Eagle's attacks using his [[Mirror Shield]]. Evil Eagle will fly back and forth across the screen at varying altitudes until Link hits him in the beak three times with any of the following weapons: the L-2 [[Sword]] (the L-1 Sword may also be possible), the [[Hookshot]], the [[Boomerang]], the [[Bow]], or the [[Magic Rod]]. After three hits Evil Eagle will hover to the side of the tower and either blow wind at Link and shooting little feathers (to combat this, Link should keep his shield up and walk towards the wind), or he will dive at him. If Link falls off the tower, he has to restart the entire battle. The Eagle is defeated with eight hits from the Hookshot and Boomerang, and six from the Bow and L-2 Sword.

The [[Magic Rod]] can be used to fight the Eagle, even though it is in [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]]. However, Level 7 is not yet finished. Even so, all that is needed is the Shield L-2 ([[Mirror Shield]]) and the [[Frog's Song of Soul]] (Song 3) to get into Turtle Rock.  Once the Shield is retrieved from Level 7, Level 8 is reachable and the Magic Rod obtainable. The Eagle goes down in three hits with the Magic Rod, and will not attack directly if it is used.  It is also possible to charge the L-2 Sword with a [[Piece of Power]] before the boss fight, which will allow Link to defeat the Eagle in three hits without leaving the dungeon.
