Red Daira are powerful crocodilian soldiers from The Adventure of Link. They are one of two variants of the Daira that appear in the game, along with Orange Daira.

The Adventure of Link

Dairas are hybrids of Hylians and alligators that wield powerful axes that can easily slice through Link's shield. They can be found in Western Hyrule, being one of the more prominent enemies that appear in Death Mountain.

Red Daira are the stronger of the two variants of Daira, and don't appear as often. Instead of charging forward, they throw a limitless stream of axes at Link. As with the Orange Daira, Link's shield cannot block the projectiles, except with the Reflect Spell.

In order to defeat this formidable foe, a well-timed jump, leaping over the fly axe, followed by a quick sword attack can deal damage. After each hit, just step back and be prepared to leap over another axe attack. Recklessly charging without paying heed to the Daira's attacks is almost always fatal.
