The fight, step by step

  1. Barinade starts anchored to the ceiling by three cords. Lock on to each one and throw the Boomerang until all three snap.

  2. Keep circling the room the whole time so its electric bolts miss you.

  3. Freed, it hides behind a spinning ring of Bari jellies. Hit its body with the Boomerang to stun it, which stops the ring.

  4. Pick off the jellies with more Boomerang throws. Don't slash them, because their charge shocks you.

  5. With every jelly gone, Barinade darts around the room. Stun it with the Boomerang and run in with the Kokiri Sword.

  6. Repeat the stun-and-slash until it bursts.
