'''Rats''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are mindless, and thus will mostly run around randomly. They don't cause much damage and are more of a nuisance than a threat.

===Link's Awakening===
==''Link's Awakening''==
The Rats of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' are not enemies. Instead, they are taken care of as pets by [[Crazy Tracy]] and [[Syrup]]. Crazy Tracy owns two pet rats, which can be seen at her [[Crazy Tracy's Health Spa|Health Spa]]. Syrup has only one at her [[Witch's Hut|hut]]. Link cannot interact with the rats in any way, but they roam around the room while he is there.

===Twilight Princess===
==''Twilight Princess''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Rats are a very common enemy that appear in various regions and dungeons. They can most commonly be found in the [[Arbiter's Grounds]]. Rats in this game will initially leave Link alone, but once Link approaches them they may attack Link. They deal minimal damage and can easily be defeated with one slash from the [[Master Sword]]. In groups, however, they can be much more dangerous. [[Spin Attack]]s or [[Hidden Skills#Jump Strike|Jump Strike]] are the best bet against groups.

{{Main|Ghoul Rat}}
{{Main|Ghoul Rat}}
A special kind of Rat also makes an appearance in ''Twilight Princess''. These Rats are called ''Ghoul Rats''. These critters can only be seen by [[Wolf Link]] if he is using his senses. Otherwise, they are invisible. Ghoul Rats will run away the room/area, and once Link comes near them, they will latch onto his skin. They will stay there, not dealing damage, just hanging on to Link. The more Ghoul Rats that attach to Link causes him to walk slower and slower. They can be knocked off by doing a Spin Attack as Wolf Link with his senses on.

===Phantom Hourglass===
==''Phantom Hourglass''==
Rats in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' are small, purple rodents that can be defeated with a single slash of either [[Oshus's Sword]] or [[Phantom Sword]]. They are non-aggressive, and will often run away from Link. Some rats also hold small keys and other items like them.
 
==''Spirit Tracks''==
These pesky creatures are usually found in caves and dungeons that have small holes. They will run in and out of the holes, often with small keys dangling from their tails. There are occasionally puzzles in which Link needs to push a block in front of a hole to prevent the rat from entering or exiting a cave.
 
When the spirit of Princess Zelda takes control of a Phantom, she will still be afraid of these rats. If a rat runs near the phantom, the phantom will stop in its place and will not move until the rat runs away or Link defeats the rat.
 
==''A Link Between Worlds''==
Rats in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'' appear much like their predecessors in ''A Link to the Past''. They appear mostly in caves and various dungeons, but can be defeated with relative ease.

==''Tri Force Heroes''==
