Ice Keese: Difference between revisions

'''Ice Keese''' are a variation of [[Keese]], encased in ice. Usually they freeze [[Link]] upon contact.

Given their icy nature, it is best to defeat Ice Keese with projectiles, including the Hookshot or Bow and Arrow. If there are multiple Keese attacking Link at once, Din's Fire also works well.

 

Ice Keeses behave the same as they do in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', however, if they touch Link, then they become normal Keeses.

In ''Phantom Hourglass'', Ice Keese are found exclusively in the [[Temple of Ice]]. They can be defeated with any projectile or explosive weapon, including the [[Boomerang]], [[Bow]] and Arrow, or [[Bomb]]s.

Ice Keese are found in the [[Snow Temple]] and other locations in the [[Snow Realm]]. Ice Keese behave in the same way as regular Keese, but if there is a frozen torch in the area, a Keese may run into it and become an Ice Keese. Touching one will result in Link being frozen, so a long-range weapon is recommended when fighting these enemies.

Ice Keese in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'' appear in similar fashion as their ''Breath of the Wild'' counterparts. They are weak enemies and will be defeated with just a single attack. They will occasionally charge an ice attack, which can freeze the warrior on contact. Upon being defeated, they may drop an Ice Keese Wing or a Keese Eyeball. After each Ice 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.

Ice Keese commonly appear in the coldest regions of Hyrule, such as the [[Hebra Mountains]] and [[Mount Lanayru]]. If [[Link]] makes contact with one, he will freeze for a short period of time. Ice Keese drop [[Ice Keese Wing]]s and [[Ice Keese Eyeball]]s. As with other ice enemies in the game, Ice Keese will sublimate into thin air when struck with fire weapons. Also, unlike normal [[Keese#Breath of the Wild|Keese]] and much like other elemental Keese, they do not flock.
