Due to his speed, scoring a hit can be difficult - attacking his face with the [[Master Sword]], [[Bombs]], or the [[Skull Hammer]] will stun him for a few seconds - however, this method requires Link to put himself directly in the puppet's line of fire. The hero can also distract Puppet Ganon with [[All-Purpose Bait]]. However, the boss will quickly move toward the bait the moment Link throws it down, often damaging him in the process. This makes it difficult for the hero to get away and attack the tail. A third, lesser-known strategy is to use the [[Hookshot]] to reach one of the various platforms at the higher parts of the arena - this keeps Link safe from sustaining damage and can provide a clear shot at the boss. |

Link can't quick-dismount them the same way he can Epona, and cannot use items while riding them. A Bullbo's charge is different to Epona's as well and, interestingly, when a Bullbo has the charge engaged, it shakes so violently that Link is only attached to the reins. Charging bullbos cannot jump and are more difficult to steer than [[Epona]] although the charge works for longer and is faster than Epona's. Just before sprinting, a Bullbo will stand on its hind legs and roar just like a horse rearing. When they are up to speed, they are impossible to stop when charging and only stop when they want to or when rammed into a wall. Finally, when sprinting, Bullbos can smash wooden fences and Bulblin Towers which are otherwise indestructible (Bulblin Towers can be broken with the use of the Ball and Chain). When spurred or attacked with a weapon, Bullbos will run off and eventually fall over but will get up to be ridden again.

Template:Enemy Bullbos are the boar-like creatures in Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracks. They are frequently used as mounts by Bulblins.
Appearances
Twilight Princess
Link fights on Epona against a group of five Bulblin Archers riding on Bullbos
Bullbos are considerably tough and can only be killed by running them off a cliff or repeatedly attacking them with a sword. An easy way to stop them while riding Epona is to shoot them with a Bomb Arrow which will make quick work of them. They are nearly impossible to stop once provoked. A rider must either wait for them to calm down on their own, or guide them into a solid wall.
Bullbos are usually ridden by Bulblins. There are two Bulblins to each Bullbo, a rider and an archer. If the rider is knocked off the Bullbo, the Bullbo will begin to go out of control, knocking the remaining Bulblin off its back. The beast will continue to go on a rampage, until it crashes into a solid structure or runs off a cliff.
After knocking the Bulblins down, Bullbos can be ridden in a similar way to Epona. However, the brutish creatures are far less intelligent than Link's horse (they are one of the few animals that do not speak to Wolf Link when prompted). They don't seem to have the sense to stop before running into solid objects or even right off of a cliff. Link can't quick-dismount them the same way he can Epona, and cannot use items while riding them. A Bullbo's charge is different to Epona's as well and, interestingly, when a Bullbo has the charge engaged, it shakes so violently that Link is only attached to the reins. Charging bullbos cannot jump and are more difficult to steer than Epona although the charge works for longer and is faster than Epona's. Just before sprinting, a Bullbo will stand on its hind legs and roar just like a horse rearing. When they are up to speed, they are impossible to stop when charging and only stop when they want to or when rammed into a wall. Finally, when sprinting, Bullbos can smash wooden fences and Bulblin Towers which are otherwise indestructible (Bulblin Towers can be broken with the use of the Ball and Chain). When spurred or attacked with a weapon, Bullbos will run off and eventually fall over but will get up to be ridden again. One unmountable and massive Bullbo is Lord Bullbo, the mount of King Bulblin.
Bullbos are also used for meat, as seen in the Gerudo Desert. A dead, hairless Bullbo is seen over a fire tied to a spit. If Link slashes the roast Bullbo, recovery hearts will appear, and repeated attacks will slash it open to reveal a Piece of Heart.
Spirit Tracks
Bullbos make a similar appearance in Spirit Tracks. They can be found following and ramming into Link's Spirit Train in areas of the Forest Realm, Snow Realm and Fire Realm. Some Bullbos are once again mounted on by Bulblins who fire Bomb Arrows. They can be defeated with two shots from the cannon.
