'''Sand Crabs''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. These aggressive land crabs are often found on the shores of lakes, rivers, and beaches.


==Appearances==
==''A Link to the Past''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Sand Crabs are found in the [[Light World]], along the shores of [[Lake Hylia (A Link to the Past)|Lake Hylia]], the [[Waterfall of Wishing]], and the river that connects the two bodies of water. They are incredibly fast in a sideways motion but slow when moving vertically. They are easy to defeat and can be defeated with a single slash from the [[Fighter's Sword]].


===A Link to the Past===
Despite appearing like relatively harmless creatures, they do a considerable amount of damage. If a crab comes into contact with [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]], it will do two full hearts of damage, so be cautious when fighting these creatures.


Sand Crabs are found in the [[Light World]], along the shores of [[Lake Hylia]] and around [[Zora's Lake]]. They are incredibly fast in a sideways motion, but slow when moving vertically. They are easy to defeat and can be killed with a single [[Sword]] blow. However, they deal a significant amount of damage. So they must be treated with caution, especially early in the game before Link has obtained many Heart Containers.  
They are also an answer for the second riddle ("The scissors by the water...") in the [[Riddle Quest]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] port of ''A Link to the Past''.

==''Link's Awakening''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', Sand Crabs are only found on [[Toronbo Shores]]. For an enemy, they are pretty basic; they just move around the screen and do not do much damage to [[Link (A Link to the Past)#Link's Awakening|Link]] at all. However, since it takes two hits with the [[Sword#Link's Awakening|Level 1 Sword]], and the fact that their movements are random, it makes them a somewhat difficult enemy to defeat.


===Link's Awakening===
==''Oracle of Seasons''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', a few Sand Crabs can be found on the [[Western Coast]]. Like their ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' counterparts, they just move around the screen and do not do much damage to [[Link (Oracle Series)#Oracle of Seasons|Link]] at all. It can be defeated with a single slash.

==''Oracle of Ages''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', Sand Crabs are found around a few places in [[Crescent Island]] and they are not too difficult at all. They randomly scuttle around at fast speeds, not provoked by them sighting [[Link (Oracle Series)#Oracle of Ages|Link]]. Just run up and slash them once and it will be over quickly.


===Oracle of Seasons===
==''Four Swords Adventures''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', Sand Crabs sometimes appear on [[The Coast|The Coast of Hyrule]]. In this game, they do not move vertically, but simply move left and right at high speeds. They are weak and can be destroyed easily with the [[Four Sword]].

===Oracle of Ages===
Sand Crabs are first found when Zelda enters the [[Jabul Waters]] region, just west of [[Seesyde Village]]. Sand Crabs are enemies that will move horizontally, moving along the sand and into shallow waters. They have pincers on the sides of their body that will deal damage if they run directly into Zelda or an echo. After Zelda defeats a Sand Crab, she can learn a [[Sand Crab Echo]].
