Ganon's puppet form is marionette-like and reminiscent of his boar-like beast form from {{ALttP}} and {{FSA}}. Puppet Ganon's movement is restricted; his appendages hang from the ceiling by cords. Puppet Ganon damages Link by spinning his tail and flailing his arms. He releases [[Keese]] during the battle as a distraction. Link must cut the cords with the [[Boomerang]], similar to the battle with [[Kalle Demos]] in the [[Forest Haven]]. After Link cuts all blue cords attached to Puppet Ganon, he hangs suspended on the central red cord, dragging the ground. Link must shoot a [[Light Arrows|Light Arrow]] at the blue ball at the end of Puppet Ganon's tail to damage him. After three hits, Puppet Ganon changes form.

The final form of Puppet Ganon is reminiscent of the many iterations of [[Moldorm]] throughout the series. Puppet Ganon moves erratically around the room, gaining speed each time Link strikes the blue ball at the end of his tail with a Light Arrow. Puppet Ganon is stunned whenever Link attacks his face with the [[Master Sword]], [[Bomb]]s, or the [[Skull Hammer]], and becomes distracted at the sight of [[All-Purpose Bait]]. When the bait is thrown, Puppet Ganon quickly moves towards it, damaging Link if he is in the way. Link may best Puppet Ganon if he uses the [[Hookshot]] to reach high platforms in the room. With this method, Link may snipe Puppet Ganon without fear of damage.
