Enemy List

 
Enemy: Amy
Tatl:
"It's Amy, youngest of the four
ghost sisters. Target her when
she appears! You got that?"
 
Found:
- Ikana Canyon Ghost Hut
 
Attacks:
 - Spins towards you.
 

 - The green ghost of the sisters, she will become invisible, thus, invulnerable. Keep her Z targeted and your shield to her until she attacks.

 - When she becomes visible and isn't spinning at you, she will be vulnerable. Either smack her with your sword or shoot her with Arrows. I suggest using a Jump Attack to inflict lots of damage.
 
 
Enemy: Armos
Tatl:
"You know about the Armos, right?
Shhhh! Don't touch it! Blow it up
before it wakes, please!"
 
Found:
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Jumps towards you.
 - Spins towards you, blinking, then explodes.
 

 - Some of the statues around with a sword and shield will come alive when you touch them. They will then come towards you in bursts for a little bit before returning to their resting place.

 - Throw a Bomb at it or use a Fire Punch to damage them. After that, they'll spin towards you, blinking rapidly. In a moment, they will explode. Either avoid them or damage them again.
 
 
Enemy: Bad Bat
Tatl:
"It's a Bad Bat. If you don't do
something before it swoops down
on you...Well, just don't come
running to me!"
 
Found:
- Lots of places...
 
Attacks:
 - Swoops down at you.
 

 - This is your typical bat enemy. It's the same as the Keese in every regard, except for Tatl's info. If you know what it does different, please tell me!

 - It can be killed with just about anything.
 
 
Enemy: Beamos
Tatl:
"What?! You don't know about the
Beamos? Don't let its beam
scare you. Just give it a good
blast!"
 
Found:
- Stone Tower
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Shoots energy beams at you.
 

 - These statues just look around in a circle. If they catch sight of you, they will shoot their beam at you through their eye. You can defend against this attack with the Mirror Shield, but it's better to just avoid it altogether.

 - Use Bombs or the Blast Mask to kill it. It will then explode, and the head will pop off, which will also explode after a moment.
 
 
Enemy: Beth
Tatl:
"It's Beth, third of the four ghost
sisters. Aim when she appears!
Hurry up! There are still more!"
 
Found:
- Ikana Canyon Ghost Hut
 
Attacks:
 - Spins towards you.
 

 - The red ghost of the sisters, she also can become invisible and invulnerable. Z targeting her will make her invisible, so don't do it. Either use your shield or run out of the way when she comes at you.

 - When she becomes visible and isn't spinning at you, she will be vulnerable. Either smack her with your sword or shoot her with Arrows. I suggest using a Jump Attack to inflict lots of damage.
 
 
Enemy: Big Octo
Tatl:
"Don't tell me you don't know about
the Big Octo! If you don't want
to be sucked in, keep your
distance. Aim from afar!"
 
Found:
- Southern Swamp
 
Attacks:
 - Sucks you up and shoots you out when you get too close.
 

 - These pesky obstacles guard the entrances to continue through Southern Swamp.

 - Just about any projectile attack will take them out in one shot. At the beginning, you'll have to kill them using the boat ride from Koume.
 
 
Enemy: Big Poe
Tatl:
"You know about the Big Poe
right? Knock it back to stop it,
then take your shot!"
 
Found:
- Grave in Ikana Graveyard
- Ikana Well
 
Attacks:
 - Appears behind you and swoops in at you.
 

 - This ghost repeatedly appears behind your camera view, tries to take you out.

 - Turn around when you hear it appear, Z target it, then use A to jump out of the way. Now shoot it with an arrow! After a few hits, it will bite the dust and you'll be able to put it in a bottle.
 
 
Enemy: Bio Deku Baba
Tatl:
"Bio Deku Baba...
Just calm down and aim carefully!
And don't blame me if one hit
doesn't get rid of it!"
 
Found:
- Great Bay Temple
 
Attacks:
 - When connected to a lily pad, flips over, knocking you off.
 - Chomps at you.
 

 - These Deku Babas will often hang on the bottom of lily pads. When they are disconnected, they will crawl around very quickly on land or underwater, searching for prey. These things make lots of interesting noises.

 - Separate them from the Lily pads first by shooting them with arrows or Fins. After that, use any attacks that will work underwater.
 
 
Enemy: Black Boe
Tatl:
"It's a Black Boe...
Just calm down and attack it!
Look, there are just a lot of them,
that's all."
 
Found:
- Woodfall Temple
- Mountain Village
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Jumps at you.
 

 - These small black fuzzies with two orange eyes blend into dark places and usually appear in swarms. It seems as though they often appear one at a time.

 - The best way to kill them is to either stand still and swipe your sword (horizontally), run in circles with some Deku Spins, or use a few well timed Goron Stomps.
 
 
Enemy: Blue Bubble
Tatl:
"That's a Blue Bubble!
Quick! Run! Don't let it curse
you! If it comes after you, defend
yourself to block it!"
 
Found:
- Termina Field
- Road to Ikana Canyon
- Ikana Canyon
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Flys towards you.
 - Jinxes (curses) you, making you unable to draw your sword.
 

 - These floating skulls surrounded by blue flames will wander about and fly towards you if they see you.

 - To kill them, you can attack them with pretty much anything. If it is a weak attack, however, their flames will go out and they'll bounce around on the ground instead. Attack them once more in this state to defeat them. If they charge at you, use your shield to block them, which will make them bounce around as well.

 - Also, you can shoot them with Light Arrows for lots of Rupees! =D

 - If they touch you, you will become Jinxed, meaning you blink blue and cannot draw your sword for about one minute. Play the Song of Storms if you have it to blow the curse away, or wear one of the Transformation Masks in the meantime.
 
 
Enemy: Blue Chuchu
Tatl:
"Blue Chuchu...
This doesn't have anything inside
of it, so it's really just a blob of
water..."
 
Found:
- Great Bay Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Jumps at you.
 

 - These blobs of water are just like every other type of Chuchu. They can be defeated with pretty much anything and grow back after a time.

 - You can also shoot them with an Ice Arrow to freeze them into a block, which you can then move around and use.
 
 
Enemy: Blue Tektite
Tatl:
"You don't know about the
Tektite? Use Z Targeting to follow
it as it bounces!"
 
Found:
- Road to Mountain Village
- Road to Goron Village
- Goron Village
- Snowhead Temple
- Great Bay Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Jumps at you.
 

 - These crab-like enemies have four hairy legs and a single red eye. They will jump towards you whenever possible. They can float on the surface of the water and hide under the snow, so, be prepared for those traits.

 - The easiest way to kill them is to use a vertical slash in their direction.
 
 
Enemy: Death Armos
Tatl:
"Death Armos, a temple guard...
Look at that red mark on its
chest! I know you've seen
something like that before..."
 
Found:
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Tries to stomp on you.
 

 - These guards look like they belong on a Chess board. They're blocky and hold a sword and shield in their hands. When they see you, they will fly towards you very quickly and slam down at your position. Just run (and roll) to avoid them.

 - To kill them, you must shoot them in the chest with a Light Arrow. This will flip them upside-down. Next, trick them into slamming the ground. They'll land on their head and explode.

 - They can also be avoided altogether by simply wearing the Stone Mask.
 
 
Enemy: Deep Python
Tatl:
"It's a Deep Python. Get close to
it and stun it. If you fail, it'll
getcha!"
 
Found:
- Pinnacle Rock
 
Attacks:
 - Lunges out of its cave and tries to bite you.
 - Sways back and forth.
 

 - It's the Zelda version of those things from Banjo-Kazooie! These giant pythons live in Pinnacle Rock in giant holes in the walls. If you come close, they'll come out very quickly. If they touch you at all, it will end up biting you and spitting you out, similar to Morpha from Ocarina of Time.

 - You can either use your Electrical Barrier (swimming + R) or stand on the ledges near the opening and use shoot your fins at it. I prefer the latter myself.
 
 
Enemy: Deku Baba
Tatl:
"Don't tell me you don't know about
the Deku Baba! Cut it down when
it has extended its body and Deku
Nuts or Sticks will come out."
 
Found:
- Termina Field
- Southern Swamp
- Woodfall Temple
- Sakon's Hideout
 
Attacks:
 - Chomps at you.
 

 - These things are about four or five feet tall and resemble a venis fly trap. When you get close, they try to nip at you.

 - Wait for a gap in their attack and go in for the kill with anything you got. If you use a weak attack, it will only stun them and you'll have to hit them again.
 
 
Enemy: Deku Baba (Withered)
Tatl:
"Isn't that a Deku Baba?
But it looks a little withered...
Just cut it. You should at least
get a Deku Stick out of it."
 
Found:
- Termina Field
- Southern Swamp
- Woodfall Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Spins around... Oh no...!
 

 - These Deku Babas don't have enough water or something, they just spin around in a tiny circle. They also grow back after a few moments, so stock up on the Deku Sticks they drop.

 - They can be killed with just about anything.
 
 
Enemy: Desbreko
Tatl:
"It's a Desbreko.
Once it bites you, it's not gonna
want to let go. I haaaate this
thing!"
 
Found:
- Pirates' Fortress
- Great Bay Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Swims after you and bites on for a long time.
 - Smaller fish swarm around you.
 

 - These large skeleton fishes have other, smaller skeleton fishes swimming around it. When killed, the smaller fish will die too.

 - There are two ways to kill these. From far away, using either Arrows or your charged up Fin Attack, or swim into them and use your Electrical Barrier (Zora + swimming + R).
 
 
Enemy: Dexihand
Tatl:
"It's a Dexihand.
Just be careful...
Look, it's not my fault if you get
too close and it grabs you!"
 
Found:
- Great Bay Temple
- Stone Tower Temple
 

 - These blue hands that stick out of the walls will grab you and throw you a short distance if you get too close. You will often need to use them to your advantage.

 - They can be killed with pretty much anything. If it's underwater, I suggest just swimming through them with your Electrical Barrier (swimming + R).
 
 
Enemy: Dinofol
Tatl:
"What?! Don't you know about
the Dinofols? Use targeting
methods while defending. And
watch out for its fiery breath!"
 
Found:
- Woodfall Temple
- Snowhead Temple
- Secret Shrine
 
Attacks:
 - Slashes at you with its sword.
 - Jumps at you with a slashing attack.
 - Breathes fire at you.
 

 - These walking dinosaurs with metal plating on their heads come equipped with a sword and shield. Don't fight them as a Deku Scrub or Zora because you'll be vulnerable to fire.

 - Use your shield to defend against their attacks. When they jump at you or they're about to breathe fire, use A to jump or roll out of the way. When you see a gap in their defenses, stab them. They're not too hard in Goron Form e ither.
 
 
Enemy: Dodongo
Tatl:
"What?! Don't you know about
the Dodongo? It moves slowly, so
you can circle around to its
backside. Got that?"
 
Found:
- Termina Field
 
Attacks:
 - Spins around quickly.
 - Breathes lots of fire at you.
 - Explodes after it dies.
 

 - These massive lizards with only two legs will crawl around very slowly and blow fire at you if you get too close.

 - They're only vulnerable at their tail, so sneak around to the back and attack them with whatever you like. Using Jump Attacks (Z + A) works the best. After being hit, they'll circle around quickly, so jump out of the way and get behind them again.
 
 
Enemy: Dragonfly
Tatl:
"Isn't that a Dragonfly?
As long as you stay away from
its tail, it's no big danger."
 
Found:
- Southern Swamp
- Woodfall
- Woodfall Temple
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Lunges at you and tries to impale you with its tail.
 

 - This odd looking dragonfly enemy has a tail equipped with an electrical charge. Very strange. Use Z target methods of defending.

 - To defeat it, either shoot it with projectile attacks or jump out of the way when it attacks and smack the tail with any close range attack.
 
 
Enemy: Eeno
Tatl:
"That's an Eeno.
It's persistent!
...And it's susceptible to heat!"
 
Found:
- Termina Field
- Snowhead Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Throws snowballs at you.
 

 - These mounds of snow live in... well... snow, and will throw snowballs at you when you're within range. There are large ones as well, which will split into three regular ones when attacked.

 - They can be killed pretty easily with just about anything. Use lots of shielding or running when getting near them. Fire does take them out fast, but not necessary.

 - Shoot the ones in Termina Field with Light Arrows for a pleasent surprise.
 
 
Enemy: Eyegore
Tatl:
"It's an Eyegore.
Simply attacking it is no good.
I say you should pay attention to
the subtle changes in its eye."
 
Found:
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Shoots laser beams at you from its eye.
 - Smashes the ground with its arms when you get close.
 

 - This large statue with an enourmous eye for a head will walk slowly towards you, smashing the ground occasionally. It is invulnerable most of the time.

 - To defeat this foe, run up to it, then quickly run back. This will cause it to send out a barrage of laser attacks. These can be deflected with the Mirror Shield, but not very successfully.

 - While its eye is still yellow, shoot it with an arrow. It will then run back to the start very quickly. Do this four times to kill it.
 
 
Enemy: Fire Keese
Tatl:
"Don't tell me you don't know about
the Fire Keese! Defeat it before
it swoops down on you.
I do not want to roast!"
 
Found:
- Ikana Well
- Stone Tower
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Swoops down at you.
 

 - When a Keese touches fire, it will carry flames with it. If it touches you at this point, it will pass the flames onto you, making you take additional damage.

 - Kill it with just about anything. Be careful to not let it touch you though.
 
 
Enemy: Floormaster
Tatl:
"You know the Floormaster, right?
If you don't do something about
its pieces before they can
reunite..."
 
Found:
- Ikana Castle
 
Attacks:
 - Large hand rams into you.
 - Small hands grab you and take you back to the beginning.
 

 - These giant undead hands crawl around in dark places. If they "see" you, they turn green and float towards you very quickly.

 - Either sneak up on these things or wait for them to charge you, then either dodge or use your shield. Smack them with your sword a few times to cause them to break into three smaller hands.

 - The smaller hands walk around very quickly, but if they grab you, they'll suck your life away. Kill them quickly to ensure that they don't combine to create a large one again. If they touch you as a large one, they'll take you back to the beginning of the area.

 - Floormasters can be killed very easily by shining light on them.
 
 
Enemy: Freezard
Tatl:
"Don't tell me you don't know about
the Freezard! Watch out for its
icy breath! I hate the c-c-cold!"
 
Found:
- Snowhead Temple
- Ikana Well
 
Attacks:
 - Breathes a blast of icy cold air that will freeze you on contact.
 

 - These jaggedy man-sized ice statues attack in short bursts and some follow you whenever they can.

 - To kill them, just wait for a gap in their attack and run in for the kill. Using the Hookshot for the first strike is very effective and brings you to them. Use a Fire Arrow for a one hit kill.
 
 
Enemy: Garo
Tatl:
"It said that it's a Garo...
Just concentrate on blocking and
dodging those sharp swords!"
 
Found:
- Ikana Canyon
- Ikana Castle
 
Attacks:
 - Lunges towards you with both blades.
 - Surrounds the fighting area with fire to prevent escape.
 

 - These robes with two beedy eyes and two little swords sticking out will appear when you wear the Garo Mask. They are killed quite easily and give useful pieces of information before disappearing.

 - Wait for it to come at you, then either defend, then stab, or dodge then stab from behind.
 
 
Enemy: Giant Bee
Tatl:
"That's a Giant Bee.
Don't ask me!
You can either fight or run...
It's up to you."
 
Found:
- Swamp Skulltula House
- Mountain Village
 
Attacks:
 - Hits you with its stinger.
 

 - These wasp-like enemies are very weak and will come out if you attack a bee hive. They're very quick, so they can be hard to hit.

 - Just about anything will kill them, such as rolling as a Goron not even charged up!.
 
 
Enemy: Gibdo
Tatl:
"It's a Gibdo.
You won't be able to move if it
glares at you, so be careful!
Got it?"
 
Found:
- Ikana Canyon
- Ikana Well
 
Attacks:
 - Climbs onto you and bites you for a little bit if you get too close.
 - Makes you unable to move for a moment due to fear.
 

 - These mummy enemies wander around the Ikana area. Not much to say about them really, they're a little more interesting than in Ocarina of Time.

 - The best way to kill them is to sneak up behind them and slash them with your sword.

 - Wear the Gibdo Mask and they'll no longer be hostile to you. You can then talk with them, or kill them free of charge.
 
 
Enemy: Gold Skulltula
Tatl:
"You got a Gold Skulltula Spirit!
This is your ????
One."
 
Found:
- Swamp Skulltula House
- Great Bay Skulltula House
 

 - In the Skulltula Houses, you will find these harmless Skulltulas that, when killed, drop Tokens. When all are collected, something special will happen.

 - Follow the sounds of the Skulltulas to find them and kill them with just about anything. You'll need the Hookshot to get some of the Tokens though.
 
 
Enemy: Green Chuchu
Tatl:
"That's a Green Chuchu.
It's nothing to be afraid of...It
usually has something in its
stomach that's of use."
 
Found:
- Termina Field
- Road to Southern Swamp
- Great Bay Temple
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Jumps at you.
 

 - These blobs of water are just like every other type of Chuchu. They can be defeated with pretty much anything and grow back after a time.
 
 
Enemy: Guay
Tatl:
"It's a Guay. You don't know about
this one? Just attack it before it
swoops down on you. That's
all there is to it."
 
Found:
- Termina Field
- Road to Goron Village
- Great Bay Coast
- Ikana Canyon
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Swoops down at you.
 

 - It's a crow that acts the same way as the Keese and Bad Bats do.

 - Play a song for the one in Termina Field to make it drop Rupees for about a minute.
 
 
Enemy: Hiploop
Tatl:
"It's a Hiploop. Quickly dodge it
if it charges at you. But can't you
first do something about that
mask it's wearing?"
 
Found:
- Woodfall
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Charges at you.
 

 - These giant yellow beetles have a temper, and for some reason, they sometimes come with metal helmets to protect themselves. If that's the case, use the Hookshot, Bombs or the Blast Mask to take it off.

 - When they have no mask, these things take one to two hits to kill. However, they do hit you quite hard when they charge you and have a tendancy to knock you off ledges.
 
 
Enemy: Ice Keese
Tatl:
"You know about the Ice Keese,
right? Destroy it before it
swoops down on you. I hate the
c-c-cold!"
 
Found:
- Road to Snowhead
- Snowhead Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Swoops down at you.
 

 - When a Keese touches blue fire, it will carry flames with it. If it touches you at this point, it will freeze you, making you unable to move for a few moments.

 - Kill it with just about anything. Be careful to not let it touch you though.
 
 
Enemy: Iron Knuckle
Tatl:
"You know about the Iron
Knuckle, right? Stay away from
its ax attack, then look for a
chance to retaliate."
 
Found:
- Graves in Ikana Canyon
 
Attacks:
 - Swings its mighty axe, dealing heavy damage.
 

 - These deadly enemies are slow moving heaps of armor that will cause massive damage if you are careless. They can take out several Hearts in a single swing, so keep your distance.

 - Because they turn slowly as they move, you can Z target them and walk around them from afar, then come in for the kill once you're behind them. This can be difficult and doesn't always work.

 - The more conventual way to take them out is to inch forward, then move or jump back once you see them make hostile action. Run forward after they've attacked, as they will take a moment to recouperate. use this to your advantage and take a hit, then get back to a safe distance.

 - After several hits, some of its armor will fall off. This allows it to suddenly move much faster. Be warned as well that now they will also lunge forward when they attack, giving it extra range of sorts. Just keep the process up a bit longer and it will perish soon enough.
 
 
Enemy: Jo
Tatl:
"It's Jo, second of the four ghost
sisters! Aim when she appears.
Hurry up! There's no time!"
 
Found:
- Ikana Canyon Ghost Hut
 
Attacks:
 - Spins towards you.
 

 - The blue ghost of the sisters, she also can become invisible and invulnerable. Z targeting her will make her invisible, so don't do it. Either use your shield or run out of the way when she comes at you.

 - When she becomes visible and isn't spinning at you, she will be vulnerable. Either smack her with your sword or shoot her with Arrows. I suggest using a Jump Attack to inflict lots of damage.
 
 
Enemy: Keese
Tatl:
"What?! Don't you know abou
the Keese? Use Z Targeting when
it gets close. Even if it flies off,
I'll follow it for you."
 
Found:
- Ikana Well
- Stone Tower
- Stone Tower Temple
 
Attacks:
 - Flies into you.
 

 - These are the typical bats of the Zelda series. Unlike the Bad Bats however, these ones can enhance their attack. If they touch a red flame, they become Fire Keese, if they touch a blue flame they become Ice Keese.

 - To kill it, you can use just about anything. Arrows, vertical sword slashes, and Deku Spins work the best in my opinion. The latter is particularly true for large groups of them.
 
 
Enemy: Leever
Tatl:
"You know about the Leever, right?
It actually moves pretty fast.
That's not exactly good news,
is it?"
 
Found:
- Termina Field
- Great Bay Coast
 
Attacks:
 - Spins towards you.
 

 - Another classic Zelda series enemy, these cone-like enemies live in the sand and will rise to the surface, spinning in your direction, then sink back into the sand. They're very large in this particular game.

 - Any attack will do to defeat them. The sword is easy enough.
 
 
Enemy: Like Like
Tatl:
"You know about the Like Like,
right? It eats whatever you're
carrying. You'd better defeat it if
you want your stuff back."
 
Found:
- Great Bay Coast
- Zora Cape
 
Attacks:
 - Tries to suck you up, then chew on you for a bit before spitting you out.
 

 - These huge gooy masses are another classic Zelda enemy. They inch around very slowly. If you get too close, they will swallow you, spit you out, but keep your shield. Eep! They can't take the Mirror shield though.

 - To defeat them, just about any attack will work. Those with further range and are sharp work the best, mainly your sword.
 
 
Enemy: Mad Scrub
Tatl:
"That's one Mad Scrub!
Even though it's weak, it sure
likes to attack!"
 
Found:
- Deku Palace
- Woodfall
 
Attacks:
 - Spits Deku Nuts at you.
 

 - These particular Deku Scrubs aren't friendly and will attack you if they see you. They will burrow within their Deku Launchers between attacks, making them invulnerable for a short time.

 - Wait for them to pop up and hit them with either a projectile or any close range attack. When flying at them as a Deku yourself, try swerving back and forth to avoid their fire, then land beside them and use a Deku Spin to take them out.
 
 
Enemy: Meg
Tatl:
"It's Meg, eldest of the ghost
sis
