Kholdstare in Ice Palace

For The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords on the Game Boy Advance (GBA).

Kholdstare

Where to find it

From the official guide

Your plunge into the final Ice Palace pit takes you into Kholdstare's lair. The monster at first will shield itself in ice while chunks drop from the ceiling. Melt the protective ice with Fire Rod blasts. Three cloudy eyeballs will whirl around the room as chunks continue to fall. Finish off the eyeballs to gain a Heart Container—and another crystal!

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords, The Official Nintendo Player's Guide (Nintendo of America, 2002), p. 73

After the fight

Link, thanks to you, I was able to escape the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! They say the Hylian people mastered mysterious powers, as did the seven sages. But the blood of the Hylia has grown thin over time. And we who carry the blood of the sages do not possess our ancestors' powers, either. But our power will increase if we mix the courage of the knights with the wisdom of the sages! Perhaps there is still a way in which we can help you. But there is little time before the gate at the castle linking the worlds opens completely. If you defeat Ganon, this world will vanish, and the Triforce will wait for a new master. I believe in you... Good luck!
