Template:Boss Evil Orb,[1] also known as D. Poon,[2] is the boss of the Color Dungeon in Template:LADX.

Strategy

Though it continually warns Link to take his time, he must strike it successively for it to change colors from blue to red, indicating loss of health. Evil Orb is capable of healing himself, so Link must defeat it quickly or else it will change back to blue. An often used approach is the use of Arrows or the Magic Rod if Link has obtained any yet. Another method is to equip Roc's Feather and use it to jump over its attacks and strike it multiple times with Link's Sword. Defeating it will give Link access to a Great Fairy that will offer him the Blue or Red Clothes.

Trivia

  • In the Link's Awakening DX guide by Prima Games, Evil Orb is named D. Poon.[2] This is a translation of its Japanese name, ド・ポーン (Do Pōn). Given that "Pōn" is the Japanese name for Hardhat Beetle, Evil Orb may have been inspired by the A Link to the Past version of this enemy since they also resemble each other.
  • Despite its appearance closely resembling a Hardhat Beetle, its German name refers to it as an Octorok.
