[edit] Appearances

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Mothula is a giant moth which poses as a boss. It is found in the third dungeon of the Dark World, Skull Woods. Mothula shoots lasers in groups of 3, tries to run into Link and makes the floor shift and objects move. The Fire Rod is very effective against Mothula, though Link is not required to use it to defeat Mothula.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

Mothula serves as the boss of Poison Moth's Lair, the third dungeon in the game. It flies around the dungeon and shoots out fireballs and tiny moths at Link in an attempt to knock him out of the arena. Link has to use Roc's Feather to dodge these attacks, and attack Mothula when it lands. If Link is knocked out of the arena he has to restart the battle.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

The Mothula from the Forbidden Woods

Mothula is the mini-boss of the Forbidden Woods. Mothula uses an odd ability to jet through the air at Link, (which can be parried) and envelopes him in minions, called Morths, that slow him down significantly. When Link defeats the creature, he obtains the boomerang. There are also wingless Mothulas that can only send out Morth and charge at Link when their single eye is red. Winged and wingless Mothulas also appear in the Savage Labyrinth and in the small forest on Outset Island. Some are later found as common enemies. Wingless Mothulas can be killed with a quick parry, winged Mothulas can be killed with a single Fire Arrow.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Mothulas spit bubbles at Link, which can be deflected with the use of the Whirlwind.
