Twilit Ice Mass Blizzeta (覚醒大氷塊 フリザーニャ Kakusei Dai Hyoukai Furizānya?, Awakening Giant Ice Block Freezernya) is the boss of the Snowpeak Ruins, the fifth dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Blizzeta is "created" when Yeta, in possession of one of the Mirror of Twilight shards, becomes corrupted by its effects and grows into a Twilit Ice Mass. Interestingly, Blizzeta is the only boss in the game that Link cannot use his sword to defeat.
[edit] Battle
During the first phase, Blizzeta will simply slide around the room similar to a Curling Stone, at which time she can only hurt Link by sliding into him. By using his newfound Ball and Chain, Link can break off pieces of Blizzeta's icy shell. After a few hits, Blizzeta will scatter Mini Freezards all around the room. The Spinner, found in the previous dungeon, can prove helpful when Link must move around since Blizzeta usually cannot hit him while he's standing on it.
During the second phase, Blizzeta will summon enormous icicles by freezing the moisture in the air. She will then try to drop these on Link. By keeping an eye on the highly reflective floor, Link can easily avoid these by simply running away. When all icicles have been thrown, Link should try to destroy at least one with his Ball and Chain. During her next attack, Blizzeta will use the remaining icicles to form a barrier around Link. After doing this, she will attempt to crush Link with her own icicle-shaped shell. If Link destroyed at least one icicle, he can avoid the attack and smash Blizzeta with the Ball and Chain. After three hits, Blizzeta's shell breaks, and she returns to normal after being exposed to the warm sunlight shining through a window.
