Boss Strategy
Video Guide: Windblight Ganon Boss
Windblight Ganon takes the form a floating enemy with a large canon for one arm, and floats about the stage.
He doesn’t like to play fair, and will try to keep his distance whenever possible, alternating between firing several cannon shots in rapid succession that you’ll need to sprint away from, or causing giant tornado gusts that need to be avoided.
You can also make use of the many turbines here to get into the air and out of harm’s way - but also set yourself up for a bow shot into his face for critical damage. This is especially important when he teleports up high, where it’s harder to reach him.
If he stays low to the ground, try to close the distance, and if you can, get under his cannon shots as they have a minimum range making him vulnerable to multiple melee strikes. Otherwise, keep moving, and use your bow shots wisely with whatever arrows you can muster.
At half health, Windblight Ganon will teleport back to the middle while creating several small floating turrets which he’ll use for several new attacks. The worst of which is when he teleports up high and sends them floating in a circle. He’ll then shoot at them, ricocheting his blast off each turret to form even more shots that will rain down from above, making things very hectic. He can also use them to focus his cannon into a large direct tornado blast, or create multiple bigger tornados.

To combat this, you’re going to need to take out his turrets. The best way to do this is use the updrafts to get up high and wait for them to stop darting about before slowing down time to take them out with arrows. The more you take out, the less effective his attacks will be, and he’ll be forced to return to the ground to use his standard tornado attacks, letting you dodge them and get in close for melee attacks. If he tries to activate his eye laser like a Guardian, stun him by hitting his eye to make him stop.
