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.

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.
