Another spoiler folks, so be warned! If you don’t want to ruin anything in this game then stop right now! If you don’t mind getting a sneak peak of what Zelda Twilight Princess has to offer, then view on!

The neat thing about this fight is that you get to use the Spinner weapon/device that you acquired in the same temple. The Giant Skull appears to be dead at the beginning of the first encounter, but then a spirit appears and stabs a magical sword in the skull - giving him life!

He begins to move and situates himself in the center of a sand-fill environment. The key is to attack his spin (which is sticking out of the sand) with your Spinner device! This will take some great maneuvering between the dead skeleton descendants that appear throughout the sand. You’ll have to kill the ones blocking your passage to the spin by using the Spinner tool.

Once you have done this three times, the boss will appear to be dead…but not for long! After you use the Spinner device int he center of the platform, this will raise the ground very high!

In this battle sequence, only the Skull is facing you which floating around. The idea here is to use the Spinner tool to grind up to the top of the platform. Once at the top, you have to jump from wall to wall, dodging the fireballs! When you come in close vacinity to the skull, be sure to strike with the Spinner! The skull will fall all the way down to the ground which gives you an opportunity to slash the sword stuck in his skull.

Do this two more times and you will earn your victory! For a quick demo, enjoy this video:

A very cool mini boss fight is one against an opponent you can not see! I will admit that it took me a while to figure out how to expose the invisible boss. During the first half of the fight, I was trying everything possible to attach the massive sword (thinking that was the boss).

After trying everything, I realized that I couldn’t hurt the boss and needed to find a solution. I then turned into the wolf as he could sense things that are mysterious or hidden and the boss appeared! After one attacked, he appeared permanently and I face him as Link again.

He’s quite simple to defeat once you figured out the strategy behind it. A series of arrow attacks and sword slashes should put him in his grave! A fight well worth it, as you get a new item! The Spinner!!
