Grinexx is a boss that appears in A Link Between Worlds. It is the Lorulean counterpart of Trinexx, and like Trinexx in A Link to the Past, it is the boss of Turtle Rock. It shares quite a few similarities with Trinexx, such a long neck, a stone shell, and rock like skin. It guards Sage Impa's painting.

Appearance and Weaknesses

Grinex begins the fight swimming in the lava underneath the arena, and attacks Link by erupting lava from its volcano-like back, which can go through the floor since it is a grate. During this phase, Link must use the Ice Rod to hit Grinexx as it passes under the holes of the arena, while also taking care not to get hit by the naturally erupting bursts of lava. Grinexx will occasionally retaliate by erupting lava and chasing Link around, but a hit from the Ice Rod will calm it down. After sustaining enough damage, Grinexx will jump onto the main arena and attack Link more directly. Link's swords and other weapons can now damage it's head in this phase, though he will often shoot out his head with his long neck and try to bite Link. Grinexx will occasionally curl up into a boulder, and release a devastating explosion. This attack is extremely damaging, so it is advised to run away from Grinexx as soon as it curls into its shell. It can also spin around while tucked in to its shell. Eventually, the boss will fall, revealing Impa's painting.
