About Master Kohga
Master Kohga is the bumbling leader of the Yiga Clan who serves as a recurring comedic boss enemy across four separate Depths encounters. Having survived his BotW defeat, Kohga has reinvented himself as a Depths explorer, building increasingly elaborate Zonai Device contraptions to challenge Link. Each encounter features a unique Zonai-themed puzzle that must be solved to damage him — he inadvertently teaches Link advanced Zonai techniques with each fight. His exaggerated villain posturing and dramatic defeat animations make him one of the most beloved characters in TotK despite being an antagonist. He drops valuable Zonai materials on each defeat.

Tips
- Kohga encounters are found at four specific Depths locations — complete them in order for the intended difficulty curve
- Each fight requires you to use the Zonai Device he introduces against him — observe his setup before attacking
- His drops on defeat include Large Zonaite and occasionally Kohga's Mask (cosmetic item)
- The final Kohga encounter is significantly harder than the first three — prepare with endgame equipment
- Despite being a villain, his humorous dialogue makes players root for him slightly — the writers clearly had fun
