- Agahnim (First Time)

Location: Upper Hyrule Castle
Effective Weapons: Master Sword, Bug-Catching NetAttacks: Agahnim has three attacks. The first one is a large red fireball. This is the only attack that can be deflected to make him take damage. The second is a smaller blue fireball. This fireball will shatter into even smaller fireballs when you try to deflect it or it hits the wall. These even smaller fireballs can be blocked with the Magic Shield. The last attack is lightning. This attack cannot be deflected or blocked and does a lot of damage. It should be avoided at all costs.
Strategy: Agahnim will teleport around the room during this fight. If you try to attack him directly (using your sword) you will be electrocuted. The only way to make him take damage is to deflect his own attacks using the Master Sword. Watch where Agahnim goes by watching the black shadow that moves around the room. When Agahnim appears he will begin casting a fireball. If it is a red fireball then quickly swipe at the fireball to deflect it. If you hit it correctly, Agahnim will take damage.
The closer you are to Agahnim, the more likely you are to hit him with the fireballs. You can stay on the opposite end of the room and still win the fight, but you may find that you occasionally deflect the fireballs at an angle so that they don’t hit anyone at all.
If Agahnim shoots a blue fireball, your best option is to simply walk out of its path and then try to block the smaller fireballs with your Magic Shield.
The last attack, his devastating lightning, can be spotted before he casts it. If Agahnim teleports to the top center of the screen then you need to move to the top of the screen and stay to the left or right of Agahnim. The lightning attack can take away several hearts if you are hit by it and you cannot block it in any way.
Continue deflecting the large red fireballs until Agahnim speaks to you again. He will then disappear and pull you into the Dark World.
Other Tips:
- If you are looking for a laugh, or a challenge, the Bug-Catching Net will also deflect Agahnim’s fireballs.
