Malice Naydra is Naydra, who has been corrupted by Malice. She has glowing eyes covering her body, which Link must shoot at while she is in flight to dispel the Malice.

At the beginning of the fight, Naydra curls up at the Spring of Wisdom. Link must shoot one of the large eyes to send Naydra flying into the air around Mount Lanayru. A second shot will cause Malice Naydra to fly down the mountain, where Link can pursue her and attack the remaining eyes to destroy the Malice. This will cure Naydra and allow her to roam freely across Hyrule, much like Dinraal and Farosh.

Trivia[]

  • During the fight with Malice Naydra, a corrupted version of the Dragons' theme plays.[2]
  • During the fight, Naydra makes no effort to attack Link directly. This may mean that she still has some control over her body and mind.
