Odolwa

Click here for a table of damage values.

As soon as you enter the boss room you can perform a jumpslash into the intro cutscene (making sure not to store Deku Stick damage as Odolwa is immune to Deku Sticks) to store damage for Power Crouch Stabbing on the Japanese version.

It is easiest to stun Odolwa with an arrow, but it can be fast to stun Odolwa with a jumpslash, especially if bow isn't equipped already. From the beginning of the fight, this can be done by standing on the green stripe and listening to the two syllables Odolwa speaks: Jumpslash after hearing the first syllable for the third time. This is demonstrated in the videos below. There is a chance Odolwa will delay its first attack; in this case, jumpslash again after hearing the second syllable for the fourth time.

Jumpslash stun

Arrow stun

Standard Fight Strategy/One Cycle (English Version)

Discovered by FullGrownGaming

Due to Power Crouch Stabbing being patched in the English version, a slightly different strat is used. Leave space after the third quickspin so that Odolwa doesn't jump away during the fourth.

Odolwa with Deku Sword

Stand behind Odolwa to avoid letting Link fall off the flower.

Odolwa as Goron

This is useful in a situation where Link has no sword.

with bomb flower (faster)

This method is only slower than the Kokiri sword fight by the amount of time it takes to transform to Goron.

1. Roll to and pick up the bomb flower
2. Shield drop the bomb flower shortly after starting to run back towards Odolwa
3. Run, then time beginning to roll to the right side of Odolwa to ensure it slashes its sword (its sword swaying can be used as a cue; getting too close to Odolwa may cause it to dance)
4. Punch Odolwa twice
5. Roll back to the bomb flower to lure Odolwa to it

If Odolwa dances instead of slashing, the bomb flower will explode to soon to be useful. In this case, the 10 punch strat below can be used as a backup.

with 10 punches (slower)

Pound to stun Odolwa, then time 10 punches to stunlock.
