Enemy Strategies




Armos-



Found in Stone Tower Temple. Touch the statue to make it come to life. Slash it with your sword, then MOVE! It blows up!


Beamos-

Found in Stone Tower Temple and Rockville. Blow it up with a bomb or the Blast Mask. This machine has a rotating eye that will shoot an extended laser beam if it sees you.


Big Poe-

Found in Stone Tower Temple, Ikana Graveyard and Ghost Challenge mini-game. Use your shield to block its attacks, then use arrows or your sword on it.


Black/White Boes-

Found in Snowhead Temple, Woodfall Temple and Stone Tower Temple. Slash them with your sword.


Blue/Red Flame Bubbles (skulls)-



Found in Termina Field. Don't let them touch you or you'll lose your sword ability for a little while! Shoot them with arrows.


Blue/Green/Red Chuchus-

Found in Termina Field, Stone Tower Temple and Great Bay Temple. Chuchus are bubbles. Red ones leave a heart behind, green ones leave a magic bottle behind and blue ones (clear) can be used as ice blocks when hit with an Ice Arrow. Use your sword on them.


Blue Tektite



Found in Mountain Village. A couple of sword slashes or other hits will beat them easily.


Deku Baba-



Found in Termina Field, Woodfall Temple, Great Bay Temple and Southern Swamp. Plants that come in three forms: small (the top sticks out of the ground), tall (stays tall and sits there) and attack (ones that charges at you.) There are also ones that sit on lily pads in Great Bay Temple. Use your sword or arrows on them.


Dexihands-

Found in Great Bay Temple and Stone Tower Temple. They grab you and throw you away from them if you get too close. Use arrows or Zora Link's boomerang on them.


Dodongo-



Found in Termina Field. Big but dumb fire-breathing dragons. Slash them with your sword, bomb them or shoot arrows at their tail. Don't let them see you or you'll get torched.


Dragonfly-



Found in Woodfall and Woodfall Temple. These guys use an electric shock on their tails when they see you. Shoot them with arrows or bubbles (as Deku Link.)


Eeno-



Found in Termina Field and Snowhead Temple. A snowy creature that throws snowballs at you. Use your sword or fire arrows.


Floormaster-

Found in Stone Tower Temple. These hands stay on the ceiling and grab you when their shadow lands on you. If you hear a windy sound and see a shadow under you, MOVE! Slash them with your sword or use the Mirror Shield, reflecting light on them. Sometimes they can break up into three small hands, so quickly get rid of those new hands before they grow bigger!


Freezard-

Found in Snowhead Temple. They blow icy breath at you. Slash them with your sword or use Fire Arrows.


Gold Skulltula-



Found in two Skulltula Houses (one in Southern Swamp and the other in Great Bay.) These spiders are now found in houses by the dozens! Use your hookshot or sword to get rid of them, then collect the token they leave behind. Collect all 30 in both houses to get two good prizes. This time, the spiders move a bit faster and don't stay in the same spot all the time.


Guay-

Found in many areas. They are annoying birds that swoop down to hit you. Pretty harmless. They only take one hit before they're defeated.


Hiploop-

Found in Woodfall and Stone Tower Temple. These guys are annoying because they're fast. It's easier to use your sword on them. In the temple, these guys wear a white mask, so bomb them first to knock it off.


Keese (normal, ice and fire)-

Found in many areas. Keese are bats but they can be just plain bats or carry fire or ice to harm you. Use arrows to shoot them down.


Leever-

Found in Termina Field near Great Bay's entrance. These guys are fast! Use your shield to block them or just ignore them and run away!


Like-Like-

Found in Great Bay. These guys are gross! They're big globs looking for you as their main course. Don't get too close or they'll eat you, possibly taking an item before they spit you back out! Slash them with your sword when their mouth isn't pointing at you. If they steal an item, just defeat them to get it back.


Mad Scrub-

Found in Woodfall and Deku Palace. These plants shoot nuts at you. Slash them with your sword or, in the palace, shoot them with bubbles since they're further away from you.


Octorok-



Found in Great Bay Temple and Ikana Valley. Octoroks are water-based creatures that shoot rocks at you (hence their name.) Shoot them with arrows to get rid of them or, in most cases, you need to shoot Ice Arrows at them to freeze them and use them as stepping stones.


Poe- (see Big Poe.)


Real Bombchu-



Found in Stone Tower Temple and the road leading to Ikana. They look like dogs with a bomb on their backs. When they see you, they chase you down, then blow up. Use your shield to make them fall back and explode (thanks Gary for the tip). Also, if you're riding Epona, they will run into you and explode without hurting you.


Skulltula-



Found in many areas. These guys are bigger than Gold Skulltulas. Slash their back when they turn around or use arrows on their front.


Snapper-

Found in Woodfall Temple and Woods of Mystery. These guys move fast, but, oddly enough, are actually turtles! Use your shield to block them. Bomb them out of their misery!


Stalchild-

Found in 2nd Skulltula House and Ikana Graveyard. They don't harm you at all. You can talk to them while wearing the Captain's Hat.


Takkuri-

Found in Termina Field near Milk Road entrance. These birds steal your items if you get too close. Shoot them with arrows from a distance to gain a Gold Rupee. Also, you can wear the Stone Mask so you can stand close by, but they won't see you. Six fire/ice/light arrows does it every time while wearing the Stone Mask (*thanks David for the tip*).


Wolfos-



Found in Snowhead Temple, Mountain Village and Southern Swamp (at night.) These guys appear when you walk near their spot and they chase after you, taking swipes. Slash them with your sword and use your shield to defend.
