The first phase of the battle involves protecting Princess Zelda from the fireballs.
Malladus will shoot out numerous large fireballs at Zelda. The first few will be direct
shots that are easy to deflect, but then hell start shooting fireballs that trail off to
the side and come around from the right or left to hit Zelda. Be ready to move around and
hit the fireballs before they hit Zelda. Its a good idea to swing a bit earlier to get the
timing down perfectly.
As the fireballs become a bit more elaborately planned, they are much harder to avoid.
Malladus will jump to the left and the right, shooting multiple fireballs out at once.
Using the spin attack works well when there are more than one fireball coming at you. At
one point Malladus will shoot four fireballs at once! If you have the great spin attack,
this is precisely the time to use it. If not, stand as close to Zelda as possible, and if
you perfectly time a spin attack, you can deflect all four fireballs. This can be quite
frustrating and will take a lot of trial and error to get the timing down perfectly.
Once Princess Zelda has full charged up her power, she says she needs to combine her
sacred power with power of the Spirit Flute. Princess Zelda will then teach Link a very
challenging song on the Spirit Flute that goes, Orange, Purple, Yellow, Turquoise, and
Orange. There are two jumps between notes in this one, so it can be really challenging to
learn. Upon successfully playing it, Link and Zelda will be joined by all five of the
music playing Locomos that we have met earlier in the game. Playing the song reveals a
shining weak spot on the back of Malladus!
Link now needs to distract Malladus so that its back is facing Princess Zelda. Princess
Zelda takes control of the Bow of Light. Run around the room with Link and slash at the
lands of Malladus. The top screen will show the over the shoulder view of Princess Zelda.
Keep using Link to run around Malladus until you have a clear shot of the weak spot of
Malladus. When the cursor on Malladus turns yellow, Tap the arrow at the bottom of the
screen to deliver a Light arrow shot. Repaet this process until youve hit Malladus three
times, sending it falling to the floor. Run over and slash at the gem that is on its
forehead. Attack it enough times and part of its horn will fall off.
Malladus is a bit more aggressive once it awakens and will even shoot fireballs out
towards Link once again. However, much of this time around is exactly like last time. Just
distract Malladus and then deliver a Light Arrow when the cursor turns yellow for Zelda.
After Malladus is stunned a second time, sword slashes will cut off his second horn.
Repeat this for a third and final time.
Once Malladus falls to the floor again, run over and jam your sword into the gem on its
forehead. Quickly rub the stylus back and forth and Princess Zelda will run on over as
well and together finally will deliver the final blow to Malladus!
Yayz! You win! :D
