In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Keese will remain dormant and leave [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] alone until he moves close to it.{{Ref|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150722213853/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/k.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]|Keese prefer to peacefully hang from the ceiling in dark places, but they can quickly sneak up on anyone who doesn't keep a sharp ear out for the chilling sound of their flapping wings. They move constantly, which makes them very difficult to defeat.}} As Link approaches a Keese will start to fly around, with its only to attack being to fly right into Link. Keese do not take much damage and are easily defeated with a wide variety of weapons. The [[Fighter's Sword]] and [[Boomerang]] will defeat a Keese with just one hit. Keese first appear within the [[Secret Passage]] as Link is escorting [[Zelda (A Link to the Past)|Princess Zelda]] to the [[Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|Sanctuary]]. Beyond this early appearance, Keese mainly appear in the dark tunnels on [[Death Mountain]]. The [[Dark World]] counterpart to a Keese is a [[Chasupa]].

[[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.

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.

[[File:Keese-Oracle-Sprite.png|left]]The Keese in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' are similar to the ones found in ''Link's Awakening''. This is due to the fact that Flagship used certain data from ''Link's Awakening'' when programming these games. They do, however, move more erratically than those found in ''Link's Awakening''. Fire Keese also appear in both ''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''Oracle of Ages''. [[Big Keese]] sometimes accompany the Blue [[Stalfos]] located in the [[Ancient Tomb]].

Keese will make an attempt to fly into any of the Four Links. Any weapon found will easily defeat them.

[[File:IceKeese.png|100px|right|thumb|Ice 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.

Keese appear as a relatively simple enemy in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. They are found in almost every cave, and are easily defeated with a hit from any weapon. Their design is similar to the Keese in ''The Wind Waker''.

Fire and Ice Keese appear as well, burning and freezing Link upon contact. Because of this, they can't be defeated with the sword.

Keese in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'' are identical to their ''Phantom Hourglass'' counterpart. As one of the weakest enemies in the game, Keese will do a ¼ heart of damage if they attack Link and they can be defeated with a single sword slash.

Keese reside in the overworld and within dungeons. When they swoop low enough to be within reach, [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] can use a sword slash to defeat them, though Keese can be defeated with almost weapon in Link's arsenal. For example, Link can defeat multiple Keese at once with a single crack of the whip.

Dark Keese are an enemy in ''Skyward Sword''. If Dark Keese touches Link he becomes cursed and will not be able to use any of his items or equipment including his sword. Because of this, be extra careful when facing them.

Fire Keese can be found around [[Eldin Volcano]]. They can still be defeated with the sword, but if they touch Link he will catch on fire.

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.

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.
