Kohga is revealed to have survived his fall, and now seeks the power of the Zonai so he can construct a weapon to win Ganondorf's favor. He is fought on four different occasions, using a different vehicle in each battle. The first battle is fought at the Great Abandoned Central Mine, after the player attains the Autobuild ability. Master Kohga appears, and then recognizes Link, challenging him to a battle. Master Kohga uses a giant truck with spikes attached to the front to ram Link. The player must dodge the vehicle and either board it to melee attack him or shoot Master Kohga with arrows to stun him. After being defeated, Master Kohga retreats in a Fanplane, leaving Link with a Huge Crystallized Charge. 
He is next encountered at the Abandoned Gerudo Mine, futiley trying to activate a Steward Construct before noticing Link behind him, then brings out a Fanplane complete with Cannons. To defeat Master Kohga this time, Link must shoot him with an arrow to knock him out of the air, then attack him. Having been beaten again, Master Kohga gives up on trying to acquire the power Link possesses and flies on to the Abandoned Lanayru Mine, leaving behind another Huge Crystallized Charge. 
During the fight at the Abandoned Lanayru Mine, Master Kohga conjures a boat and summons two Yiga Footsoldiers armed with Duplex Bows to assist him. Link must fuse a Rocket to one of his shields to fly high into the air, then shoot Kohga from above, or try to land on the boat and attack him. Kohga and his lackeys then disappear and reappear on another boat; during this phase, Master Kohga summons boulders to hurl up at Link. At the end of the battle, Master Kohga reveals that his troops have found Ganondorf, and that he has sufficient Crystallized Charges for his weapon, then heads for the Abandoned Hebra Mine, forking over yet another Huge Crystallized Charge. 
Upon reaching the Abandoned Hebra Mine, accessible from a chasm beneath Rito Village, Link finds Master Kohga sitting in the center of the mine, and, after some taunting, he brings out his Zonai Construct, vowing to take Link down for good this time. This battle will be easier if the player has already awakened Mineru and has her construct at the ready: Master Kohga's construct fights fairly similarly to the Seized Construct. Link must use Mineru's construct to punch Kohga into the wires surrounding the arena, stunning him, and then attack him. Once half of his health is depleted, Master Kohga starts attacking with huge spiked metal balls, that can be sent back at him via Recall. Upon defeat, Master Kohga laments on the destruction of the weapon he worked so hard on, then attempts to destroy Link with his brand new Kohga Rocket, which backfires again, sending him flying out of the depths to the sky while vowing to get revenge.
