Replaying this game after - don't know - 15 years? Can't remember having trouble with this guy back then, but now he was driving me insane. Finally beat him with this method so thank you, kind Sir!
I thought it was hard. Turns out it's quite simple: stand on the top right corner and throw bombs when he turns purple. Should land when he goes red. Collect bombs when necessary, and a heart each time you get red. Don't use the rotating platforms.
Very frustrating, combined with the fact that after you die, you'd have to go reset and ride the tracks while avoiding the enemies along the way back to the boss room. Very unpleasant.
Time varies. Sometimes it takes me a minute. Other times it’s an hour. The randomization of when the bombs blow up on the faces that cause this fight to vary in time.
Pretty tough boss for just a level 2 dungeon. Getting the blue face (I think it was) awards you a real clusterfuck of tiny fireballs swirling in on you but as long as you avoid that it's fairly easy. And you get a totally rad christmas tree at the end!
Snap i just got both oracle game and started with ages today and i switched it off at thwomp after sooo many attempts... But after watching this awesome vid i reckon i can do it will start again tomorrow morning..Thanks again for the awesome vid that was badass boss beating:]:]:]
Always remember that the boss ALWAYS stops in COMPLETE turns. Which means that the color face you see right when the bomb goes in, that's the color it's going to stop on. For example, 0:23 See how it was on red when the bomb was in and 0:31 it stopped on red? That's a complete turn. This is NOT based on luck, but on timing and it will take some practice. Also, the Peace Ring really helps here.
😊 thank you so much showing me how to kill this boss I was throwing bombs out and I just didn't know when I have to throw it now I see thank you so much
purple: it will pound the ground and cause an earthquake blue : it will shoot small fire ball that spin aroud the room green:it will shoot larger fire ball from the top of its head red : it will give you a heart
Boss stragedy: He will throw boulders frequently. But he does it at the same times. Don't move and throw a bomb into him until no more boulders. So throw bombs outside those times to avoid getting hit. What you wanna do is two things: Throw a bomb from the ledge requires more good timing but reduces damage greatly. Jump on the rotating platform and throw a bomb and you get better timing but you get hit more. Now the tricky part: what you wanna do is: throw a bomb in him when his face is red. But the bomb needs to be inside him and once it does, the color that it was before he spin was the color he will do.
When i was younger, my friend and i had this game. We would play together and help eachother out and i remember getting to this boss and killing it immediatly, but my friend was having trouble with it so i tryed to do it for em and it took me a half an hour lol. good times...
I'm glad it only took me twice to beat this boss, but I agree if this is any indication of the bosses to come then I'm excited but nervous. I love this franchise. I have the original game boy color cartridges, but have had nothing to play them on, until this year I bought a Nintendo SP. But then I heard they were coming on the 3DS so I just bought them on that system :). Amazing game soo far
@zDallasCowboys008z Yeah exactly i dont know if im going to get it right away. I might just borrow it off a friend and see how it is before investing money into it. it looks underwhelming thus far.
@fireice2037 Smog and Head Thomp had me ripping out my hair. I think I finally beat them both on flukes though. I was certainly disappointed by Plasmarine, Octagon, Gleeok and Medusa Head, since they were all pitifully easy bosses on the hardest dungeons.
Ahh.. this boss was very annoying for me and my sister years ago... The ring that let's you throw bombs farther is a big help is this fight, no risk of fireballs and trouble with the moving platforms, so aiming is easier.
this one took me a couple tries. I never thought to throw the bomb from the top of the ladder!! *facepalm* I kept throwing it while on one of the circling platforms!
This boss just takees forever. because it it is up to chance to hurt him. took me about20 mins to kill it. there were Goombas in Link awakening i think, i havn't play awakening in ages.
@fireice2037 Don't hold your breath... I don't think that tradition is changing anytime soon sadly. I was disappointed as a kid with a lot of these Zelda bosses (mainly really disappointed with the GBA/GC bosses). I have to say the worst Zelda boss of all is that one in LA who is a fireball that dies from a fire rod.... how pitiful..
FFS!! I was trying to drop it into the fucking guy. I forgot you could throw from the ledge. I spent ~2hr 30 mins on this damn boss(die, heal, redo the bridge, get there, die, etc.) ily :)
Crap. Where was this info YEARS ago?! I think I can speak for everyone when I say that this was the MOST FRUSTRATING boss in Ages! I spent HOURS on that beast!
@CinnabonChan Thats the downfall of zelda games. Most of the final dungeon bosses are easy to figure out i sure hope skyward sword breaks that tradition.
I had nightmares of this bastard when I first played this game. I beat him on my first try since this was released on the eShop. Not really sure how I feel about this. :l
@fireice2037 Yeah, that's exactly what i felt when I saw the Skyward Sword "romance trailer".... ugh. That game is looking more and more like a turn off to me.
my god i cannot STAND this boss. i just, ARGH. he gets me so mad ._. i throw bombs in him, and he NEVER TURNS TO RED ._. and and and then if i don't get red, you get some stupid other thing like the walls shake or fire thorws around. s5jctgjerg7yjhtbjvchj !!!!!
This is hands down my least favorite Zelda boss.
Aw man, I had such a hard time with this guy when I was a kid. He's definitely a lot harder than the hack 'n slash bosses later in the game. Nice vid!

Don't use the rotating platforms.
thanks, finally beat this boss with that tip.
Very frustrating, combined with the fact that after you die, you'd have to go reset and ride the tracks while avoiding the enemies along the way back to the boss room. Very unpleasant.
man do you know how long it took me to beat this guy!?
i envy u bro
Time varies. Sometimes it takes me a minute. Other times it’s an hour. The randomization of when the bombs blow up on the faces that cause this fight to vary in time.

Matthew Howse I
It a Super Mario enemy that got converted into a boss for Zelda Ages lol.

Thank you so much man I’ve been trying to beat him for at least three years and was actually considering getting a game shark
Thanks I was ready to rage quit, playing on switch
I've always hated basketball.
😊 thank you so much showing me how to kill this boss I was throwing bombs out and I just didn't know when I have to throw it now I see thank you so much
You're a lifesaver. Thank you so much for this. This boss is terrible.
I’d love to see a remake of the Oracle games in the style of the Link’s Awakening Remaster. Head Thwomp would be so cool to see in 3D.
@CinnabonChan I didnt have much problem with smog actually it was sort of a fluke that i got him on the last part so it only took me a few minutes
And the award of shttiest programmed boss in history of video gaming goes to...
purple: it will pound the ground and cause an earthquake
blue : it will shoot small fire ball that spin aroud the room
green:it will shoot larger fire ball from the top of its head
red : it will give you a heart
Boss stragedy:
He will throw boulders frequently. But he does it at the same times. Don't move and throw a bomb into him until no more boulders. So throw bombs outside those times to avoid getting hit.

@zDallasCowboys008z Angler fish blah yeah that one is up there too. but i miss these older style zelda games :(
blue makes fire sphere shield,green shoots flames,purple drops rocks,red screams
Best way to avoid the fireballs from the blue face is to stand directly under it iirc,
When i was younger, my friend and i had this game. We would play together and help eachother out and i remember getting to this boss and killing it immediatly, but my friend was having trouble with it so i tryed to do it for em and it took me a half an hour lol. good times...
While i was playing emulator and facing this boss
Had 5 hearts
I did not know how to beat it so i looked up a video on the boss

IVE BEEN STUCK ON HIM FOR MONTHS I CANT BEAT HIM IT IS SOO FRUSTERATING
I can´t believe it. I always tried to jumpf on the blocks and got killed all the time x)
He has]Thwomp in his name. What do you think?
I don't get it, aren't thwomps soppiest to be in the Mario series? so what's Link doing with it?
@fireice2037 Smog and Head Thomp had me ripping out my hair. I think I finally beat them both on flukes though.
I was certainly disappointed by Plasmarine, Octagon, Gleeok and Medusa Head, since they were all pitifully easy bosses on the hardest dungeons.
Imagine a boss like this in ToTK
Ahh.. this boss was very annoying for me and my sister years ago...
The ring that let's you throw bombs farther is a big help is this fight, no risk of fireballs and trouble with the moving platforms, so aiming is easier.
It's resemblence is that it's a blue Thwomp there. Otherwise, the facial expression is different.
This boss is the craziest ever!
blue is an evil smiley
@Sumokurt1
Well he IS a thwomp.
@zDallasCowboys008z I know it seems they care more about flashy effects and all that "fluff" rather then actual quality gameplay. agh lol
This level is much easier with the toss ring. Unfortunately, to have that ring on this level, it needs to be password linked.
@fireice2037 Oh while I was typing that I forgot about another candidate for worst boss ever... Angler fish definitely might be the worst boss ever.
thwomp change and podoboos live in him O.O
@fireice2037 Same... they were so much fun.
@golbezchaoslord YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS CORRECT
not really i ment as a boss in some game
I must say, credit where credit is due as its hard as balls to get red on 3 out 4 hits on your first try without landing at least one other colour.
Thanks! But it was actually just really lucky! lol
the red face is scary.
this one took me a couple tries. I never thought to throw the bomb from the top of the ladder!! *facepalm* I kept throwing it while on one of the circling platforms!
You never thought people will be experience same problems you deal with 11 years ago *facepalm*
it throws fireballs every 9 sec.
@fireice2037 For me it was this one and Smog. The Ancient Ruins boss was horrible as well.
that was a really hard boss
i luv this game
LIKE A BOSS!
@Razorgabo bloody hell this boss took me 3 days to finarly kill its a real bitch to kill
u got the christmas tree!!!
lol thomps the movie mentioned this boss
The eyes on the red face creep me out. shudder
Even though he's a boss from the Super Mario games, I hated fighting the Thwomp Head on this game.
This boss just takees forever. because it it is up to chance to hurt him. took me about20 mins to kill it.
there were Goombas in Link awakening i think, i havn't play awakening in ages.
is it really that easy to defeat? wow. thanks for the video
Head thwomp looks like the thwomp from Mario
u could get a gameboy emulator on your computer
@fireice2037 Don't hold your breath... I don't think that tradition is changing anytime soon sadly. I was disappointed as a kid with a lot of these Zelda bosses (mainly really disappointed with the GBA/GC bosses). I have to say the worst Zelda boss of all is that one in LA who is a fireball that dies from a fire rod.... how pitiful..
thats rather scary in a really odd sort of way....
took me like 15 mins, sooooooooooo frustrating. It's hard to die, but sooooooooooo frustrating
I know, this was totally rigged but eventually, I managed to defeat this boss
TLOZ ORACLE
FFS!! I was trying to drop it into the fucking guy. I forgot you could throw from the ledge. I spent ~2hr 30 mins on this damn boss(die, heal, redo the bridge, get there, die, etc.) ily :)
Boss looks pretty hard, yet he reminds me of Super Mario 64... XD!
i finally beat him yesterday and my bro turned the gameboy off
that took me 5 tries to kill ;; waa
a powered up thwomp XD
lol if mario saw that thwomp and fought him he would wet
awesome :o
this one was very hard
Crap. Where was this info YEARS ago?!
I think I can speak for everyone when I say that this was the MOST FRUSTRATING boss in Ages! I spent HOURS on that beast!
@CinnabonChan Thats the downfall of zelda games. Most of the final dungeon bosses are easy to figure out i sure hope skyward sword breaks that tradition.
This is the worst boss in any Zelda
I beat this boss today. not easy...
This boss and the ancient runins boss in seasons the two i hated the most!!
This boss is annoying enough, but having to re-do two tedious puzzle sections of the dungeon each time you die to reach it again is the worst.
I had nightmares of this bastard when I first played this game. I beat him on my first try since this was released on the eShop.
Not really sure how I feel about this. :l
lol imagine if mario meets link.........its possible..........but link would kik his ass
Zelda thwomps anyway...
Hardest boss ever.
I HATE THIS BOSS!!
@fireice2037 Yeah, that's exactly what i felt when I saw the Skyward Sword "romance trailer".... ugh. That game is looking more and more like a turn off to me.
man
its already happened, play some smash brothers :P
my god i cannot STAND this boss.
i just, ARGH.
he gets me so mad ._.
i throw bombs in him, and he NEVER TURNS TO RED ._.
and and and then if i don't get red, you get some stupid other thing like the walls shake or fire thorws around.
s5jctgjerg7yjhtbjvchj !!!!!
lool
it looks like a rip off of the mario thing
This boss is freld ! I hate it !
what an annoying boss
I'm sorry but the video didn't help to defeat this f------ boss.
Thwomps are Mario ripoffs
this boss was really frustrating to me
