Template:Boss Template:Spoiler Onox (ゴルゴン, Gorgon) is one of two main antagonists from the game Oracle of Seasons. He calls himself "the General of Darkness"[1], and wishes to ruin the land of Holodrum in accordance with the wishes of his master, Twinrova. To do this, Onox has been tasked with the burden of capturing the Oracle of Seasons and submerging the Temple of Seasons. [2] Although Onox appears to be an armored being like an Iron Knuckle, his true form is that of a dragon, summoned from the Dark Realm.[3]

By capturing the Oracle of Seasons, Din (Oracle) and encasing her in crystal, Onox was able to submerge the Temple of Seasons[4] into Subrosia and throw the flow of the seasons into chaos, resulting in the damage of the land and the weakening of the Maku Tree[5]. To stop this, Link set out on a quest to obtain the Essences of Nature, which would allow him to enter Onox's Castle on the Northern Peak and battle him.[6]

After gaining each and every one of the Essences of Nature, Link made his way to the Northern Peak, where he used their power to break through the barrier Onox had put up before entering his castle to fight the tyrant. In their battle, Link was able to gain the upper hand even through Onox's tactics of using the comatose Din as a shield. Before Link could defeat Onox for good, however, Onox chose to reveal his true form to Link, the form of Dark Dragon[7]. Although larger and stronger than anything Link had fought in his journey, Link was still able to defeat the General of Darkness. However, rather than cursing his own fate, Onox chose to mock Link as he died, revealing that the Flame of Destruction had been lit, and Twinrova's grand scheme was one step closer to fruition.[8]

If Link has already saved Nayru from Veran's clutches in Oracle of Ages, when Link reaches Onox at the top of the castle Onox will reveal to Link that Zelda is already being prepared for sacrifice, so that Ganon can return.[9]

Strategy

Onox deals out massive physical damage with his attacks, so it is in Link's best interest to dodge. His armor also blocks normal attacks with the sword, so Link must use spin attacks to get through. Onox's range of attack normally doesn't reach beyond the Ball & Chain Trooper, but he is also capable of bringing down a barrage of rocks from the ceiling, and summoning multiple tornadoes. Partway into the battle, Onox will summon a frozen Din as his shield. The Rod of Seasons must be used to knock Din away, or Link will be electrocuted whenever he attacks Onox. Despite this, Din, will always drift back to Onox eventually. After Onox is defeated again, he will transform into Dark Dragon. From here, Link must jump onto Dark Dragon's hands, then attack the gem on Dark Dragon's head.
