Blaaz, Master of Fire (火焔幻術師 ブレイズ Flame Magician: Blaze?) is a boss from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. He serves as the boss of the Temple of Fire, the first dungeon of the game.

[edit] Battle

When the battle begins, Blaaz splits into three smaller forms. The triplets chase Link around the room and periodically shoot fireballs at him. In order to successfully defeat Blaaz, Link must first force it back into its original form using the boomerang. In order to successfully combine the three, however, Link must combine them in a certain order.

On the map screen of the Nintendo DS, each Blaaz will have a different number of horns, the key to combining them correctly. Once all three are fused together, Blaaz reverts to its original form and becomes vulnerable to the Sword. After being reverted twice, Blaaz begins to drop flaming rocks from the ceiling. After enough hits, Blaaz is destroyed.

After defeating Blaaz, Link is awarded with a Heart Container, the first ten minutes of the Sands of Hours, and Leaf, one of three spirits.

[edit] Etymology

Blaaz is likely a pun on the word blaze.
