This is the boss of the Ancient Cistern and also the fifth boss in the game. He looks like a giant idol with multiple arms. The way to win is to use the whip to pull his arms off and then attack his heart. After some damage, he'll grow legs and draw multiple swords to attack you; rip off his arms and use his own blades to cut his legs off and attack his heart.
After the battle, Link powers up his Goddess Sword and notices that the Triforce of Courage is resonating on his hand.

He sits around waiting for you to make an entrance just so he can tell you he's too busy to fight you. Villain logic.
-
Koloktos: The only Zelda boss smart enough to protect his weak point.
-
i think its kinda cool how the first game in the timeline still has "ancient" things
-
0:18 Link: "Umm... how long have you been waiting there?" Ghirahim: "About 4 hours and in the mean time, I was playing candy crush" Link: " And I'm persistent?" Ghirahim: ". . ."
-
I swear, this menacing zoom-sound Koloktos does whenever he's about to attack. It does so much for the vibe of this fight. And the music. URGH <3
-
Smashing him with that big sword is so damn satisfying.
-
One of the best zelda bosses of all time
-
Practically everything about the Ancient Cistern is based on Buddhist mythology. The statues of Buddha throughout the level, the climbing of the spider's thread out of the hellish basement level (representing the short story "The Spider's Thread) and Koloktos is based on the Asura (Lower ranking deities with three heads with three faces and six arms who have become corrupted by the evils of the world including envy, wrath, lies, vanity and aggression)

4:00 "oh my god, HE HAS A SWORD!!" "You IDIOT! We ALL HAVE SWORDS!!"
-
There is hardly a thing in video games as satisfying as killing a boss with their own weapon ^^
-
I think it's safe to say Koloktos is a fan favorite in the Zelda series! Good job Koloktos, you made a name for yourself despite only being a regular boss!
-
How it moves and the sound it makes before attacking are so memorable
-
Dat creepy child-like laugh at the end.
-
My theory about the child laugh Koloktos make is that Ghirahim somehow trapped a soul in the armor of Koloktos and the soul was the energy to power up Koloktos and after Koloktos is defeated, the soul is released from its prison and laughs at Link as a sign of gratitude for being free from Ghirahim's grasps.
-
The whole ancient cistern dungeon, in my opinion, is one of the best developed dungeons of the recent zelda games. From the new tool you get all the way down to the design (and of course the boss fight) were all very well done and super enjoyable
-
Let's face it. That moment at 4:00 was the part where Skyward Sword bosses stopped being great and turned downright epic.
-
Just killing a boss with its own weapon makes it ten times more fun. Like the tennis matches with Phantom Ganon or chopping Koloktos's legs off with its giant blade and then slicing open its metaphorical ribcage and proceeding to slash its heart repeatedly. Good fun, that is.
-
This is my favourite boss in the entire Zelda series
-
My thought process with this boss: Beat his first phase: ok so one more time and its dead I guess... Puts hands on the ground: wait what? Pulls itself out: what Cages its weakspot: WHAT?! Pulls out 6 massive blades: WHAT THE FUCK?!
-
Taking an ennemy's weapon,a fucking giant sword,just to proceed to open his ribcage and destroy him with repeated assaults of epic slashes. MOST SATISFYING BATTLE EVER!!
