Trinexx is a boss from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It is a three-headed turtle-like beast found in the seventh and next-to-last dungeon of the Dark World, Turtle Rock, located on Death Mountain. Its heads are red, gray, and blue, with the red and blue heads being able to spit fire and ice respectively.

[edit] Battle
To defeat Trinexx, Link must wait until one of the colored heads tries to attack. He must then combat the colored heads by shooting the Fire Rod into the blue head's mouth, and the Ice Rod into the red head's mouth. Link then attacks these heads with his sword. Once the red and blue heads are both destroyed, Trinexx's shell falls off. Link then must attack the orange center part of Trinexx's body to defeat it.

[edit] In the manga
Non-canon warning: This article or section contains non-canonical information that is not considered to be an official part of the Legend of Zelda series and should not be considered part of the overall storyline.
In the manga adaption of A Link to the Past Trinexx is really Link's friend Ganty, who was turned into Trinexx by Agahnim in an effort to stop Link. After Link defeated Trinexx Ganty was returned into her original form and helped Link to defeat Ganon.
In the manga incarnation, Trinexx head and body does not have rock-like compositions. Instead, they have a more beastly look to each of them. The red-fire head now looks more like a wolf, the ice-blue one looks like a dragon, and the middle one looks like a snake.
Non-canon warning: Non-canonical information ends here.
[edit] Etymology
The name "Trinexx" is a play on "three necks", as in the three necks of Trinexx's three heads.
