Jalhalla is a fictional ghost from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Description
Jalhalla is the king of Poes (and apparently Ghinis as well), and so is very large, as is with most of the series' rulers. Jalhalla resembles a gigantic version of the Poes from Wind Waker, but has a differently shaped mask and a horribly bloated stomach.. Jalhalla's name is probably based on Valhalla, the Norse heaven for heroes and home of Odin. Jalhalla himself was probably based on Boolossus from Luigi's Mansion, as both are several ghosts merged together. The battle music when fighting Jalhalla is reminiscent of a French accordion.

Battle
Jalhalla is the boss of the Earth Temple. He was sent by Ganondorf to destroy the Earth Sage and last of the Zoras, Laruto. He also attempted to destroy Link and Medli when they tried to infiltrate the temple. Jalhalla could be beaten by reflecting light off of the Mirror Shield onto him, in which he would solidify. Once solid, Jalhalla could be thrown at a spiked pillar. On this occasion, Jalhalla would pop into tons of Poes, all running frantically. After a while, the Poes would merge back into Jalhalla. If all the Poes were to die, then Jalhalla would be powerless (Jalhalla himself was simply the cursed mask; the Poes were his body). When finding that his body's Poes were gone, Jalhalla attempted to escape through the roof, but a ray of light turned him solid as he was in the air. Jalhalla was destroyed when he crashed back into the ground and shattered.

He returns in Four Swords Adventures and is fought twice. The first time is just his mask which shoots fire and spins around, and is defeated by utilising the torches to reveal itself and then attacking. In his second attack he has his whole body. He attacks now with gusts of wind and with his lantern. Once again the torches must be lit to unmask it, but after attacking the body the ghost would swallow the unfortunate Link. Inside the Game Boy Advance the swallowed Link(s) must attack Jalhalla's soul. After that is destroyed he blows up for good.
