Upon reaching the bottom of the mine, a rather special boss fight awaits the players. Link will have to fight Master Kohga as he will attempt to sacrifice his life for the Demon King. The boss fight is relatively easy as Link will face Master Kohga on a mechanical robot.

You will be able to destroy the robot's helmet as Master Kohga will fall from his machine, where you can strike him a few times. Maintaining distance is advisable as Kohga will hop into his machine again and attack you. You can rinse and repeat this process until this health bar depletes completely.
