'''Volvagia''', also known as '''Barba''' | '''Volvagia''', also known as '''Barba''', is a recurring boss in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games. It is a lengthy [[lava]]-dwelling dragon styled after typical {{wp|Japanese dragon|Japanese depictions of dragons}}. | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', Volvagia (titled '''Subterranean Lava Dragon: Volvagia''') is depicted as an ancient dragon that loves to eat [[Goron]]s. Many years before, an ancient Goron hero used the [[Megaton Hammer]] to kill it, but [[Ganondorf]] resurrected it following his rise to power. He intended to feed the Gorons to it as a warning to the other races, though an additional danger is Volvagia escaping [[Death Mountain]] and ravaging the rest of [[Hyrule]]. All the Gorons are imprisoned in the [[Fire Temple]] for Volvagia to eat, though Link frees each, obtaining the Megaton Hammer in the process. Before this, [[Darunia]] goes to fight it without the hammer, but is not seen again until appearing in the [[Chamber of Sages]] after Volvagia is defeated. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', Volvagia (titled '''Subterranean Lava Dragon: Volvagia''') is depicted as an ancient dragon that loves to eat [[Goron]]s.

When Link reaches its room, Volvagia will fly into one of the nine holes on the platform in the center of the room. Volvagia will poke its head out of one of the holes (akin to {{wp|Whac-A-Mole}}), indicated by a rumbling in the ground, using its burning hair as a weapon. Link must use the hammer to stun it, and can then continue to attack it using the hammer or certain other weapons, like the [[Master Sword]] or [[Biggoron's | When Link reaches its room, Volvagia will fly into one of the nine holes on the platform in the center of the room.

Link must use the hammer to stun it, and can then continue to attack it using the hammer or certain other weapons, like the [[Master Sword]] or [[Biggoron's Blade]]. The more damage it takes, the more Volvagia will move around before appearing again. Sometimes, Volvagia slowly flies out of a hole to the ceiling, where it will drop [[Lava bomb|rocks]] on Link before focusing on the hole it will re-enter. While flying, Volvagia is vulnerable to [[arrow]]s as long as it is visible. | ||
Once Volvagia has been defeated, it will fly out shakily and screech several times, as its body starts disintegrating starting with the tail, leaving behind only the spine and the mask. These then crumble, with the mask landing on the ground, remaining for a few seconds (while still being targetable) before revealing the [[Heart Container]]. Link then warps away while Death Mountain bursts violently and its clouds clear up, signifying it has now become dormant with the evil gone. | Once Volvagia has been defeated, it will fly out shakily and screech several times, as its body starts disintegrating starting with the tail, leaving behind only the spine and the mask.

In the future, Volvagia has been brainwashed by [[Ganondorf]] into attacking the Gorons, infuriating Link. Link tries to get the now-giant Volvagia to remember who he is, but is unsuccessful, forcing him to fight it. Eventually, he manages to cut off his head. In its dying moments, Volvagia regains its lucidity and weakly says Link's name while crying. Link cries as well as Volvagia's head turns to ash. Volvagia makes one more appearance in the desert as an illusion, likely manifested from Link's guilt over having to kill his friend. | In the future, Volvagia has been brainwashed by [[Ganondorf]] into attacking the Gorons, infuriating Link.
