The Stone Hinox,^[1] also known by its Japanese name Dekudon,^[2] is a giant golem that appears exclusively in the Game Boy Color version of Link's Awakening, as a boss in the Color Dungeon.

Strategy

His appearance is somewhat similar to that of a Hinox, although its behavior is quite different. It moves slowly in predictable patterns and attacks with a powerful earthquake that it causes by jumping and slamming into the ground. When it hits the ground, Boulders will drop from above and tumble towards Link. The Stone Hinox will often cause multiple earthquakes in a row, leading to a torrent of rocks for Link to avoid. Not only this, but the arena where the battle takes place is littered with floor spikes, making it hard for Link to reach the boss to connect with his sword. The Stone Hinox is also one of the few bosses in the game that causes Link to bounce back when he connects with his blade, which may send him flying into the aforementioned spikes.

Like its namesake, the Stone Hinox has a weakness to Bombs, and can be destroyed with as little as two of them.

Trivia

Despite the English name given by Zelda.com, this monster's Japanese name is "Dekudon" and therefore may not be related to a Hinox at all. The Deku in its name is usually a term used for forest creatures, but in Japanese it can also mean a type of wooden doll or puppet, which is probably where this monster got its name.

-==Biography==
-Luda is first seen when Link visits the Sanctuary as a [[Wolf Link|wolf]] and sees her along with Renado, Barnes, and the Ordon children, hiding from the Shadow Beasts. She informs Barnes that the Sanctuary cellar has been infested with several [[Shadow Insects]].<ref>{{Cite|...I...would not do that. When Father instructed me to secure the cellar, I saw insects like the beasts outside...|Luda|TP}}</ref> Later on in the game, when Link rescues [[Colin]], Luda and [[Beth]] take care of the boy together inside the [[Elde Inn]]. Once Link brings the injured [[Prince Ralis]] to Kakariko, the Zora prince will be taken to the inn to rest, where Luda and Beth also take care of him until his recovery. Luda and Colin will then be the only ones inside the Elde Inn from that point on.
+==Strategy==
-After Prince Ralis returns to [[Zora's Domain]], if Link talks to Luda, she will reveal that although she is happy that everyone is better now, she will be sad when the Ordon children return to their home, since Kakariko will be much lonelier.<ref>{{Cite|Ralis and Ilia and everyone else are all better now!

-It is evident that Luda seemingly becomes good friends with Beth: during the ending credits, they can be seen hugging goodbye as Beth leaves to go back to her home.
