  • Kholdstare
rdfs:comment
  • Kholdstare is the boss of the Ice Palace, the fifth dungeon of the Dark World in A Link to the Past. He begins as a pink puffy eye encased in a block of ice. Link uses the Fire Rod to break him out, at which point he splits into three identical parts that can be hit with the Fire Rod or with the Sword. Occasionally, ice chunks fall down from the ceiling, breaking up into multiple pieces and dropping magic power when the Magic Bar is empty. Upon defeating Kholdstare, Link receives another Heart Container and the crystal containing the fifth imprisoned maiden.
  • At the outset of the battle, Link must destroy Kholdstare's protective ice barrier, while dodging chunks of ice falling from the ceiling. The ice barrier can be destroyed by being hit with multiple blasts from the Fire Rod, or be destroyed instantly if exposed to the fire magic of the Bombos Medallion. Since executing the latter tactic drains a lesser amount of magic power from the Magic Meter, it allows for greater mileage with the Fire Rod in the battle's second phase.

  • At the outset of the battle, Link must destroy Kholdstare's protective ice barrier, while dodging chunks of ice falling from the ceiling. The ice barrier can be destroyed by being hit with multiple blasts from the Fire Rod, or be destroyed instantly if exposed to the fire magic of the Bombos Medallion. Since executing the latter tactic drains a lesser amount of magic power from the Magic Meter, it allows for greater mileage with the Fire Rod in the battle's second phase. After its protection is gone, Kholdstare splits into three and moves diagonally about the arena, while ice continues to fall. Link can then begin to attack Kholdstare directly, hitting each of the three monocled clouds about six times with his sword. However, using the Fire Rod causes more damage.
