Helmethead is an armored knight boss who originated from the 1988 (1987 in Japan) NES game Zelda II: the Adventures of Link. He attacks by shooting fireballs out of one of his two helmets or eye, depending on what is upon his torso. His weak point is his head: eventually, the two helmets can be knocked off his shoulders, at which point they begin floating around the air, shooting fireballs at the player.
In Mushroom Kingdom Fusion, Helmethead serves as the boss in Fortress of Doom. He has two flying Freelancers assisting him in battle and is invincible as long as he is wearing his helmet, forcing the player to figure out how to get him to remove his helmet and revealing his weak spot. After revealing Helmethead's weak spot, which is his head, the player can stomp on the head to deal some damage. There are also vegetables from the ground, which can help the player.
Trivia[]
- Helmethead was also fought as the boss in the now-scrapped level Midoro Palace, which was based on Zelda 2, the game Helmethead originated from.
