Giant Hardhat Beetle, sometimes referred to as Turtalfos or D. Poon is a boss from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. It is the boss of the Color Dungeon, which appears only in the DX version of Link's Awakening.
[edit] Strategy
Despite Giant Hardhat Beetle's warnings for Link to take his time, Link must strike with his sword quickly and successively to change its orb coloour from green to red. Another effective approach is to use Arrows or the Magic Rod if Link has obtained them. After it is defeated, Link can enter the next room to change the color of his Tunic.
