This was exactly the truth. He had completely taken over [[Hyrule Castle]] and was sending the seven maidens (including [[Zelda]]) into the [[Dark World]], one by one. He had nearly completed his task when [[Link]] rescued Zelda and hid her away in the Sanctuary. Soon enough, however, Agahnim tracked the princess down and had her brought back. Shortly after sending Zelda away, Link arrived in Agahnim's chambers. The wizard teleported into the room behind him. When Link followed, Agahnim decided to exterminate him. Using the [[Master Sword]], Link repelled Agahnim's attacks at him. Rather than accept defeat, Agahnim drew Link into the Dark World and vanished.

After Link had rescued the seven crystalized maidens, he climbed Ganon's Tower (Agahnim's Tower in the original ALttP) to face the wizard. Although his attack was the same, this time Agahnim created two shadow versions of himself capable of attacking. Link was able to defeat Agahnim. It was revealed at this point that Agahnim was in fact the alter-ego for [[Ganon]], who transformed into a bat and fled to the Pyramid of Power.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', the second form that [[Dethl]], the Final Nightmare, took was that of Agahnim. He was composed entirely out of shadow and fought identically to his ''A Link to the Past'' counterpart.
+
Agahnim made a small appearance in [[Oracle of Seasons]] as a mini-boss in the [[Dancing Dragon Dungeon]]. His attack was a bit different, but once again he came with two shadow versions of himself. The only way to tell the difference was to light the lanterns in the room so you could see the real Agahnim's shadow. He fired energy balls that could not be repelled, but simple sword attacks were enough to harm him.

==A Link to the Past==
 
 
 
Agahnim fights by throwing energy balls at his opponent, using a technique that would be repeated by characters like [[Phantom Ganon]] and [[Ganondorf]] in later games. These energy balls can only be deflected by using the Master Sword, or as an easter egg, the [[Bug Catching Net]].
 
 
 
Agahnim will also sometimes throw a group of four balls that can't be reflected, as well as a concentrated bolt of lightning that effects most of the screen Link is on. In Agahnim's second battle, he creates two transparent clones who cannot be hurt by reflected beams - however any of their energy balls can be deflected back at the real Agahnim.
 
 
 
==Link's Awakening==
 
 
 
The Final Nightmare takes this form second. He fights identically to his version in ''A Link the Past'', but does not use the lightning attack or his two phantom forms.
 
 
 
==Oracle of Seasons==
 
 
 
Agahnim fights differently this time and now has three phantom clones of himself. The only way to tell who the real one is to light the torches in the room and look for his shadow. His energy beams this time cannot be deflected, but he is vulnerable to simple sword attacks so long as the real Agahnim is being attacked.

*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Aagahnim appeared as an Advanced Primary [[Spirit]] who also boosted magical attack power. When fought as a Spirit, his Spirit possessed two copies of [[Robin]] who mostly utilized magical attacks. However, reflective attacks were also enhanced during the battle, in order to replicate Aganhim being defeated by his own magic blasts being reflected back at him.

*Agahnim was one of the many forms that [[DethI]] took at the end of [[Link's Awakening]].
*Agahnim's attack pattern from ''A Link to the Past'' and the method of bouncing his energy balls back at him s the first occurrence of what would later be dubbed 'dead man's volley' in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. This type of battle would be repeated by various bosses throughout the series, most commonly by [[Ganon|Ganondorf/Ganon]] and [[Phantom Ganon]].  
+
*Agahnim's attack pattern (from ALttP) was used by every version of [[Phantom Ganon]] and the first battle with Ganondorf in [[Ocarina of Time (game)|Ocarina of Time]].
*In ''A Link to the Past'', his energy balls could be repelled by swinging the [[Bug-Catching Net]], as well as the Master Sword. This also became a running gag in which mundane items such as the Bug-Catching Net, Empty Bottles or fishing rod could be used to help in final battles.
