Usually a Biri is only electrified for short periods of time, though in Ocarina of Time it will always shock Link if he attacks it with a metal weapon - they can instead be safely attacked using a Deku Stick, Boomerang, or by stunning them with a Deku Nut. In A Link to the Past, red Biri will split into two smaller Biri if attacked, and in Oracle of Ages, Biri will split if attacked with a sword. It is usually easiest just to knock them into a nearby pit, but in A Link to the Past they can be defeated by sword attacks, in Oracle of Seasons they can be crushed with iron balls, and in Four Swords Adventures they can be defeated either by stunning them with a boomerang and then using sword-attacks, or using the Roc's Feather to perform a Down-Thrust attack.īiri are electrified jellyfish that can live in or out of water, and appear in A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Oracle of Ages. If Link hits them with a weapon, they will be knocked back instead, but Link will still be bounced back a little bit. Hardhat Beetles have elastic carapaces covering their body that they use to knock Link away. They are invulnerable as long as they are upright, but if the player blocks their charge with his shield, they will be flipped over, exposing their vulnerable undersides. Spiked Beetles have spiked carapaces on their topside, and will race at Link if he is within their line of sight. In Ocarina of Time, Beamos can fire both a beam that knocks Link back and a beam that inflicts damage. The beam can generally be reflected with the Mirror Shield.

In A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, Oracle of Ages, and Oracle of Seasons, it is invulnerable, but in Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, Four Swords Adventures, and Twilight Princess, it can be defeated by setting explosives or by firing an arrow into its "eye". If the Beamos spots an intruder it will fire a beam while the target is in view, and will either continue to rotate or track the target to keep it in view. The Beamos is typically a type of pillar-mounted mechanical eye that rotates 360 degrees in search of intruders. In Twilight Princess Skull Fish reappear in the Lakebed Temple.īeamos are one of the more common enemies in The Legend of Zelda series. In Majora's Mask two undead fish-like monsters appear, one called Skull Fish and a bigger, stronger version called Desbreko, appear in the Great Bay Temple and the Pirate's Fortress. Like certain other enemies in The Adventure of Link, they sap experience points on contact. When a target is sighted, they swoop out of the water at incredible speeds and seem to spit a type of rock at it. They reside in liquid until they have found suitable victims to attack. Some Armos statues do not attack and can be moved like blocks.Ī skull-like enemy found in watery and lava filled regions in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. They typically pose as statues or suits of armor, but attack when approached.

According to The Minish Cap, they were created to guard the Wind Tribe, and there is a Minish-sized chamber inside them where they can be turned on or off. They look exactly like Shy Guys from the Mario series.Īrmos are living statue enemies. Similar to the Arm-Mimics, Mask-Mimics are the mask-wearing copycats found in Link's Awakening. They are only vulnerable to fire.Īrm-Mimics are robed creatures found in Link's Awakening. They are named after the Egyptian god Anubis, and will mirror all of Link's movements, and will shoot fire at him if he swings his sword. However, I'm ashamed to admit, the two moments that scared me the most were not the ReDeads, but the first time Night Fell over Hyrule Field & without warning Stalchildren popped out from under the ground, It sent me into a terrified panic & for my entire first play through, if I ever got caught out in Hyrule Field at night in the Child Era, I would book it to the nearest body of Water, jump in and stay there until dawn.Anubis are hovering, jackal-faced mummies that appear in Ocarina of Time. I didn't turn 10 until August of 99', OOT was my first serious encounter with the Horror genre (yes, I know it is definitely not a horror game, but, like all High Fantasy franchises, there are some serious dives into genuine horror eg Bottom of the Well, Shadow Temple & arguably, The Forest Temple (still the most scared I've ever been playing a Temple in Zelda, & the aforementioned ReDeads).Īnd I must say, while I'm an absolute Horror & Dark Fantasy tragic nowadays, I was NOT ready for Ocarina of Time's Horror Elements.

I got OOT for Christmas 1998 & being young. The first time I heard that scream, in the tomb that has the Hylian Shiled, It genuinely chilled me to the bone.
