Characteristics and Weaknesses

The Master Garo's suicide ritual

He will rush to Link with his sabers outright, but shielding or sidestepping can force back his blows. To kill him, Link must stun him with the Hookshot, Deku Nut, or any other projectile, and then attack him with his sword. Another strategy is to just avoid his attacks and strike him when his guard is down. He has the habit of disappearing sometimes after an attack. When this happens, it is advised to run away as he will drop from the ceiling and attack. If Link strikes him, he must immediately guard since he will launch a lightning-fast counter-attack. When defeated, he will pull out a bomb and commit a form of seppuku, blowing himself up. He is fought in three places: Stone Tower Temple, in the Secret Shrine, and in the Twinmold area of the Moon.

Trivia

Before the battle with Garo Master in Stone Tower Temple, he jumps down from a hole in the ceiling. This hole is also the hole in which Link jumps into to face Twinmold while the temple is inverted.
Only in the Stone Tower Temple, the Garo Master gives Link a tip on something before dying. When fought elsewhere, he kills himself without any talk whatsoever.
