Changes: Arrghus

Revision as of 06:35, 28 February 2014

This article or section is out of date.

It needs to be updated with information from A Link Between Worlds.

It has been suggested that the portion of this page concerning Wart should be made into its own page. Should the target page already exist, this content should be merged into it where appropriate. Discuss this on article's talk page.

Template:Boss Arrghus is a recurring Boss in the Legend of Zelda series. It serves as the guardian of the second Crystal in the Swamp Palace in A Link to the Past and the Eastern Temple in Four Swords Adventures. Arrghus protects the portrait of the Sage, Oren, in the Swamp Palace in A Link Between Worlds. Arrghus is also a mini-boss, known by its Japanese name Wart, in the Great Bay Temple and the Secret Shrine in Majora's Mask.

Characteristics

Arrghus is a large, one-eyed jellyfish which is surrounded by several miniature polyps named Arrgi. These Arrgi and the creature's ability to float make it invulnerable to attack. Its method of attack is to send the Arrgi swirling outwards. The Arrgi must be pulled away using the Hookshot, and then destroyed with the Master Sword. When all of the Arrgi are gone, Arrghus launches itself into the air and attempts to crash straight down upon Link, then it speeds across the shallow water of the room. It will also shoot needle thin lasers at the ground, which will create huge explosions, throwing columns of water into the air. In this state, it is unprotected and can be attacked with Link's Sword or other weapons. After each hit, it attempts to crush Link from above again, or shoots more lasers at him, but persistence leads to its defeat. After its destruction, in A Link to the Past, it leaves behind a Heart Container and Link is presented with the second Crystal in which one of the Seven Maidens is imprisoned. In A Link Between Worlds, it will leave a Heart Container as well as the portrait of sage Oren.

Varieties

Orange Arrghus

An orange Arrghus is the guardian of the Green Four Sword fragment in the Game Boy Advance version's Palace of the Four Sword. Instead of Arggi, this Arrghus is surrounded Bari, like Barinade in Ocarina of Time, which will sometimes shock Link when he pulls them away from their host. This Arrghus is also stronger, faster, and sturdier, and once the Bari are removed, it is able to both change direction while skating around, as well as summon swarms of Kyameron.

This Argghus reappears in A Link Between Worlds as the boss of the Swamp Palace, but is covered in Arggi like the original. It is able to fire lasers which boil the water underneath Link.

Stone Arrghus

Stone Arrghus

The Stone Arrghus appears as the boss of Eastern Temple in Four Swords Adventures, with a look more similar to its Majora's Mask counterpart. To defeat this stone version of the boss, Link must use his Boomerang to pull the rocks to him and then hack them with the sword. Once all the small rocks have been destroyed, the large, gigantic eye attacks Link. Once it has been hacked at enough, it disintegrates and leave Link with the Yellow Maiden.

Wart

Arrghus, known by its Japanese name Wart, is a huge eye mini-boss that rolls around trying to hit its enemies in the Great Bay Temple and the Secret Shrine in Majora's Mask. It attacks and is defeated like its previous incarnations. At the start of the battle, Wart is hovering slightly above the ground, completely surrounded by a mass of bubbles, rendering it immune to any damage. It is a time-consuming enemy. The sheer amount of bubbles on it make it a long struggle to pierce its shield, as it is constantly moving, along with Wart, which will differentiate from retreating to trying to press itself against Link in an attempt to cause damage. The bow is not a good idea at this point, as there are simply too many bubbles. Any offensive weapon is capable of removing the bubbles, although the best is the bomb, which knocks many bubbles off at once. Using the Hookshot is another way of removing the bubbles, although it is a time-consuming way. Another great way is to use deku nuts, which not only destroy many bubbles in one shot, but also damage the Wart too. The bubbles are incapable of being destroyed while on Wart, only knocked off, which makes them even more of a pain. When an opening is finally made, and Wart's eye is no longer blocked by bubbles, the bow is the way to go. However, any projectile will work. After enough shots, Wart will enter stage two, forcing its surviving bubbles off its body and begin rolling around wildly. First finishing off any bubbles, then attack Wart with the Bow. After a few more shots, Wart will be finished.

Non-canon Appearances

Non-Canon Information

A Link to the Past comic

A creature resembling Arrghus is featured in Chapter 9 of the A Link to the Past comic. Fought in the Swamp Palace just like in the game, the monster is shown as a bright red jellyfish that attacks with tentacles, but no eyeballs are shown. In the comic, as Link makes his way to the imprisoned Maiden, a large, tentacled monster attacks him. He thrusts the Master Sword into the monster and defeats the creature, which spits out Link from inside and gives him a chance to destroy the floating Crystal where the Maiden is.

Trivia

It is likely that the name "Arrghus" is a reference to Argus Panoptes, an all-seeing hundred-eyed giant from Greek mythology.
Arrghus and Moldorm are the only dungeon bosses in A Link Between Worlds that are the same species as one from A Link to the Past, rather than being a variation or a different species.

-The orange Arrghus is the guardian of the [[Four Sword|Green Four Sword]] in the [[Palace of the Four Sword]], an additional dungeon created for the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''A Link to the Past''. Unlike the original Arrghus, this alternate version is surrounded by [[Bari]] in much the same way as [[Barinade]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. As well as being more resiliant and able to deal more damage than the original Arrghus, the Bari sometimes unleashes their electricity when Link pulls them away from the monster, causing him damage as he attempts to destroy them. After the Bari have all been destroyed, Arrghus attacks in much the same way as before, but this time he travels faster and is able change direction and summon swarms of [[Kyameron]], making him arguably the most difficult of the bosses that guard the elements of the Four Sword.

-*A frog-like character named [[smw:Wart|Wart]] also appeared in ''[[smw:Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic|Doki Doki Panic]]'' (or, ''[[smw:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]]''). This character differed drastically from the Wart of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. Interestingly, this Wart made a cameo appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', with his Japanese name [[Mamu|Mamu Mamu]].
-*The [[Deku Toad]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' bears some similarity in the way it acts to Wart. Like Wart, it has many eye-like objects on its body (though these are actually its eggs),{{fact}} but not nearly as many as Wart did. It also starts the battle on the ceiling, like Wart. Interestingly enough, as mentioned above, the final boss of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' is a giant toad named Wart.
