By hitting its flaming body with [[Mystical Seeds#Mystery Seeds|Mystery Seeds]], Frypolar reverts to its ice state. [[Link]] can then plummet it with [[Mystical Seeds#Ember Seeds|Ember Seeds]], repeating the process until defeating it completely. While in its fire state, Frypolar can summon rings of flames to harass enemies, and when in ice form, the spirit is capable of summoning icicles out of the ground to impale foes. Link could also defeat him in his fire form by shooting his ice form's ice crystals with Mystery Seeds, then hitting Frypolar with Mystery Seeds. The young hero could then use his Power Bracelet to pick up an ice crystal and throw it at Frypolar.

Frypolar will regularly shift between the two elements of ice and fire during the battle. In its fire form, it is capable of shooting multiple fiery geysers that will harm [[Link]] upon contact. In its ice form, however, it will create pillars of ice from the ground, which also serve as a hazard to Link. Link may either shoot [[Ember Seed]]s when it is in ice form to inflict damage, or may alternatively sprinkle a [[Mystery Seed]] on an ice pillar to make them smaller. The latter can be picked up with the [[Power Bracelet]], and thrown at the boss to cause it massive harm. When it is in its fiery form, Link may also shoot a Mystery Seed at it to make it change element, making the process faster.

Frypolar is a spirit of ice and fire which serves as mini-boss of the Sword & Shield Maze in Oracle of Seasons.[2]

Characteristics

Frypolar will regularly shift between the two elements of ice and fire during the battle. In its fire form, it is capable of shooting multiple fiery geysers that will harm Link upon contact. In its ice form, however, it will create pillars of ice from the ground, which also serve as a hazard to Link. Link may either shoot Ember Seeds when it is in ice form to inflict damage, or may alternatively sprinkle a Mystery Seed on an ice pillar to make them smaller. The latter can be picked up with the Power Bracelet, and thrown at the boss to cause it massive harm. When it is in its fiery form, Link may also shoot a Mystery Seed at it to make it change element, making the process faster.

Trivia

  • Twinrova from Ocarina of Time, Gleeok from Phantom Hourglass, and Fraaz from Spirit Tracks are all similar to Frypolar in the sense that they use fire and ice attacks, and their own attacks can be used against them.
  • Frypolar is the only mini-boss in Oracle of Seasons to have an introduction; two beams of fire and ice assemble at the center of the room, before combining to create the boss.

Nomenclature
