Hey, how do I defeat the Flare Dancer in the Fire Temple?

You have to use your hookshot on him when he is spinning, then he will come down and run away around the fire square thing. Don't run after him, run the opposite way so that you meet him.

Hit him with your sword. Keep doing that. He will go back into the fire so you will have to use the hookshot again.

Use a hookshot and a hammer or you're sword.First with the hookshot lock-on the flare dancer and shoot.Now you will notice that you have pulled out of the flare dancer's body,a little ball shape dude,next he will start to run around,that is you're chance to strike with either you're sword or hammer.I hope this help's you with the problem.

To beat the Flare Dancer you must do two things.
Firstly hookshot onto the bomb in the centre of it (the balck part) when it is starting to light flames. The bomb should pop right out and then run around the room. Run in the opposite direction it is running in to trick it and slash it (or using your newly aquainted prize the Megaton Hammer is a better idea). Or you can hookshot it again and drag it towards you and slahs or hammer it. Running into ti is better. Once you have done this a few times it will set fire again but this time into blue flames. Repeat and then it will come back for a third time into green flames. Once you do it this time you should beat it.
Always remember to watch out when:
It flies around the room when it's on fire. It's hard to evade it's attacks.
Wen you are about to hookshot it when it is standing still it can shoot small flames out that chase you, but they're not so fast but still a threat.
Also you must beat the Flare Dancer twice in the Fire Temple. Good luck

Use your hookshot to get the black thing out.

Keep slashing untill he Puts his fire t shirt.

Keep doing this.

Throw a bomb at it when it is spinning then use your sword to hit it.
