Pols Voice: Difference between revisions

In ''The Legend of Zelda'', Pols Voices are quite dangerous. They hop around the screen causing two hearts of damage anytime they touch [[Link]]. Their jumps could take them over blocks and water making them even more dangerous. The easiest way to defeat them is by shooting an [[arrow]] at them with the [[Bow]]. They can also be destroyed with ten sword slashes with the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|original sword]], but it is much faster to use the Bow.

Pols Voices are referred to as a "ghost" in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda Instruction Manual|Instruction Booklet]]'' of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'',{{Ref|name=LoZManual|pg. 36|A ghost with big ears and a weak point - he hates loud noise.|''[[The Legend of Zelda Instruction Manual|The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet]]''}} as well as in [https://web.archive.org/web/20150913013404/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/ The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia].{{Ref||Pol's Voices are mysterious ghosts found only in dungeons.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150913013404/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/p.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]}} They can be found within two dungeons of the game: [[Level 5: The Lizard]] and [[Level 8: The Lion]]. In the [[Second Quest]], they can be found in [[Level 2 (Second Quest)|Level 2]], [[Level 4 (Second Quest)|Level 4]], and [[Level 7 (Second Quest)|Level 7]].

Pols Voices hop around the screen trying to attack Link by bashing into him. Unlike most enemies, they are invulnerable to Link's sword. The easiest way to defeat them is to play the [[Ocarina]] near them. Playing the [[Ballad of the Wind Fish]] with the Ocarina will instantly defeat them on the screen. If Link does not have the Ocarina yet, they can be defeated by shooting an arrow or throwing something at them, such as a nearby pot or rock. Though Link's sword cannot harm them, it can push them back, allowing him a bit of time to grab something to throw at them. [[Bomb]]s can also harm them, but it may be hard to time the hits.

Like the previous games, Pols Voices hop around the room that they inhabit in an attempt to bump into Link. They are fairly fast whenever they jump, so it is sometimes best to keep moving around the room whenever they are present. They can be defeated with the Flute that Link obtains from either [[Moosh]], [[Ricky]], or [[Dimitri]].

Pols Voices are identical in appearance and behavior to their previous appearance in ''Oracle of Seasons''. With one play of the [[Harp of Ages]] or Link's animal friend's [[Flute]], he can defeat them easily.

In ''Phantom Hourglass'', Pols Voices look very much like the original concept art for the Pols Voice. There are only a few in this game. They are all found in the [[Temple of Courage]], and must be defeated to progress through the temple. The trick to attacking them is first to blow into the mic. They will cover up their large ears, allowing Link to whack them with his [[sword]]. After being defeated, they will drop a [[Small Key]], and Link will then be able to continue.
