Mothula in Skull Woods

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

Mothula

Where to find it

From the official guide

Mothula is an abomination—and so is the room in which you must defeat it. The entire floor acts as a conveyor belt, moving in one direction for a while then moving in another. Furthermore, the walls are covered with spiked balls that hurtle across the room. If you defeat Mothula, you'll get a Heart Container and another magic crystal!

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords, The Official Nintendo Player's Guide (Nintendo of America, 2002), p. 61

Although you can use the Fire Rod against Mothula, chopping it with the sword is a faster road to victory. When it spews energy down the screen, race above it to find less-lethal floor space.

After the fight

Link, thanks to you, I was able to escape the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! ...Do you know the prophecy of the Great Cataclysm? This is the way I heard it... If a person with an evil heart gets the Triforce, a Hero is destined to appear... ...and he alone must face the person who unleashed the Great Cataclysm. If the evil one destroys the Hero, nothing can save the world from his wicked reign. Only a member of the Knights of Hyrule, who protected the Hylian royalty, can become the Hero... You are of their bloodline, aren't you? Then you must rescue Zelda without fail!
