Keese are | Keese are found in every dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. In fact, some dungeons have rooms with nothing in them besides large numbers of Keese. Additionally, Keese appear once a [[Vire]] has been damaged, at which point it will split into two Keese. One method of attack against the Keese are simple [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|sword]] slashes, but that is not recommended as coming too close to them could result in contact, which will deal damage. The recommended method of attack is to use the [[Boomerang]] or [[Magical Boomerang]], which defeats them in one shot and doesn't require [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] to come close to them. | ||

It also has the ability to shoot fireballs at Link. | |||
==''Link's Awakening''== | |||
[[File:Keese-Oracle-Sprite.png|left]]As usual, Keese in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' only appear in caves and dungeons. They can be encountered as early as [[Tail Cave]] and behave in almost the exact same way as previous incarnations. | |||
[[File:Keese-Oracle-Sprite.png| | |||
==''Ocarina of Time''== | |||
[[File:Mm and oot keese.png|100px|left|Keese from ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask''.]] | |||
Keese are found in just about all dungeons within the game and are the basic enemies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. They can be defeated with a wide variety of weapons, but projectile weapons, including the [[Slingshot]], [[Boomerang]], [[Fairy Bow]], or the [[Hookshot]] work best. Every single weapon that [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] has will defeat a Keese with a single shot, with the exception of [[Deku Nut]]s, which will only stun the enemies. In addition to regular Keese, Link will also encounter both [[Fire Keese]] and [[Ice Keese]]. | |||

===Fire Keese=== | |||
{{Main|Fire Keese}} | {{Main|Fire Keese}} | ||
If a Keese has contact with flame, it will encase its outer body with fire, thus making it a [[Fire Keese]]. If Link has his [[Deku Shield]] equipped, and tries to defend against the Fire Keese, the shield will burn up. Fire Keese are commonly found throughout [[Dodongo's Cavern]] and the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]], but are also seen in places like the [[Spirit Temple]]. | If a Keese has contact with flame, it will encase its outer body with fire, thus making it a [[Fire Keese]].

===Ice Keese=== | |||
{{Main|Ice Keese}} | {{Main|Ice Keese}} | ||
These bats are a bit more annoying than [[Fire Keese]], as well as more scarce. If Link comes in contact with an Ice Keese, it will freeze his body, slowly draining hearts. Link can easily defend against it with his shield, however, making them significantly easier. | |||
==''Majora's Mask''== | |||
Keese in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' are almost exactly the same as the ones in ''Ocarina of Time''. Following the trend, both Fire Keese and Ice Keese appear. They can be found in [[Beneath the Well|Ikana Well]], [[Stone Tower]], and the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. If Link wears the [[Stone Mask]], he is invisible to Keese, making it handy for avoiding large groups of them. | |||
In addition, ''Majora's Mask'' features [[Bad Bat]]s — large bat creatures similar to Keese that can be found pretty much everywhere and deal a bit more damage than their smaller counterparts. | |||

== | ==''Twilight Princess''== | ||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Keese look much more bat-like than in previous titles, which is likely due to the more realistic graphics of ''Twilight Princess''. Just like their role in other ''The Legend of Zelda'' titles, Keese are more annoying than any actual danger (the exception being large groups of them, of course).

{{Main|Fire Keese}} | {{Main|Fire Keese}} | ||
Fire Keese are usually found in fire-type areas, such as the [[Goron Mines]]. Fire Keese are exactly like normal Keese, the only difference being they are engulfed in fire constantly. Because of this, if one comes in contact with [[Link]] while he is using the [[Ordon Shield|ordon]] or [[Wooden Shield]], it will burn up due to their wooden material. However, they will have no effect on the [[Hylian Shield]], so it is recommended to have that shield equipped when traveling to fire-based areas that may contain Fire Keese.

Ice Keese are the third variation of Keese | Ice Keese are the third variation of Keese in ''Twilight Princess''. Similarly to a Fire Keese, the only thing that differentiates these guys and normal Keese is the fact that Ice Keese are engulfed in frost. Because of this, they are mostly found in cold areas, like the [[Snowpeak]] mountain range. They are easily one of the most annoying enemies in the game because they freeze Link upon contact, dealing a quarter heart of damage for every second Link is frozen. They can be pretty difficult in large groups. If they are, it is a bit easier handling them with Wolf Link, because he is so much faster. Link can stun them with the [[Gale Boomerang]], making them significantly easier to defeat. | ||

==''Breath of the Wild''== | |||
[[File:Keese-botw.jpg|right|175px|thumb|A regular Keese]] | |||
Keese are found roaming the overworld at night or can be found in small caves. They are among the most common monsters in the game, and they will attempt to charge at [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]], while their eyes glow red. They have just 1 HP and tend to drop [[Keese Wing]]s and/or [[Keese Eyeball]]s. Sometimes they will attack in [[Keese Swarm]]s in open fields at night, but only normal Keese will flock in such a way. | |||
All Keese are immune to the effects of [[Kilton]]'s monster masks, [[Majora's Mask#Breath of the Wild|Majora's Mask]] and other monster and Stal imitating effects from armor, so they're the most inconvenient monsters to encounter when wearing those, as their attacks alert other monsters of the ruse and blow Link's cover. | |||
===Fire Keese=== | |||
{{Main|Fire Keese}} | |||
Fire Keese are the variant of Keese found in the Eldin region, specifically Death Mountain. They are engulfed in flames and will charge at Link to try and set him alight, which can cause his equipment to burn. | |||
===Ice Keese=== | |||
{{Main|Ice Keese}} | |||
This type of Keese makes their home in the cold regions of Hyrule, such as the [[Gerudo Highlands]]. They will charge at Link and freeze him solid, which leaves him vulnerable to other attacks. | |||
===Electric Keese=== | |||
{{Main|Electric Keese}} | |||
Electric Keese are found at night in the [[Gerudo Desert (Breath of the Wild)|Gerudo Desert]], but also make their home in forests such as the Faron Woods. They will charge at Link, which may cause a devastating shock, causing Link to drop his metal weapons. | |||
==''Age of Calamity''== | |||
Keese in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'' appear in similar fashion as their ''Breath of the Wild'' counterparts. These weaker enemies can be taken out with a single attack and will occasionally drop a Keese Wing or a Keese Eyeball. After each Keese is defeated, the player will receive a [[Keese Trophy]], which can be used to complete [[Age of Calamity Quests|quests]] or upgrade weapons of the various warriors. | |||
Elemental variants of Keese are very common, with their being Ice Keese, Fire Keese, and Electrical Keese, often in locations with other similar elemental based enemies. | |||

{{quote|The unpredictable flight pattern of this nocturnal, bat-like species can make fighting them a nuisance, but they're weak enough to fell with a single strike. Sometimes they like to form packs, and they have been seen swarming out of caves together.|In-game description}} | |||
Three Keese appear in the prologue [[Beneath Hyrule Castle]] and are easily dispatched with one hit from the [[Master Sword]]. | |||
They are common across [[Hyrule]], appearing at night and in [[Cave]]s. They often attack in packs or in swarms when Link enters a Cave. | |||

They usually travel in packs and will try to fly right into Miis. Miis can defend themselves using their shield, or do a well-timed sword attack to defeat a Keese in one strike.

Keese appear in the same fashion as they do in ''[[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon|The Wand of Gamelon]]''. | |||

Keese are found mostly inside of caves and other indoor areas. Much like other enemies, their attacks can be devastating as the short recovery time could make a simple attack take several hearts of damage. In most cases, even after defeating a Keese, more will come from the sides of the screen. Unfortunately, Keese often come from various angles and it can be tough to judge where Zelda needs to attack. It is advantageous to get rid of Keese if they are directly in Zelda's way, but it is preferable to avoid them if at all possible. | |||
