'''Ice Keese''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are a variant of [[Keese]] that is encased in ice, which freezes [[Link]] upon contact.

==''Ocarina of Time''==
{{Navi}}
Ice Keese in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' inhabit the [[Ice Cavern (Ocarina of Time)|Ice Cavern]]. They behave very much like the [[Fire Keese]], flying around until they see [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]], in which they will fly down to try to freeze him. When they come into contact with Link, they will freeze him momentarily, potentially doing up to two hearts of damage if he does not escape fast enough.

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 will also work well.

==''Majora's Mask''==
{{Tatl}}
Ice Keeses behave the same as they do in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', however, if they touch [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]], they will become normal Keeses.

==''Twilight Princess''==
Once again, Ice Keese are found in frozen areas, such as [[Snowpeak]] and its [[Snowpeak Ruins|ruins]]. There are also some found on floors 21, 35, and 38 of the [[Cave of Ordeals]].

==''Phantom Hourglass''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|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.

==''Spirit Tracks''==
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 (Spirit Tracks)|Link]] being frozen, so a long-range weapon is recommended when fighting these enemies.

==''Tri Force Heroes''==
{{TFH-Stub|section}}

==''Breath of the Wild''==
These Keese appear exclusively in the colder regions of Hyrule, including the [[Hebra Mountains]], [[Gerudo Highlands]], as well as the areas around [[Mount Hylia]], [[Mount Lanayru]], and the peaks of the [[Crenel Hills]]. They have 1 HP like all other Keese that appear in the game. If [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] comes into contact with one, he will freeze up for a short period of time. They drop [[Ice Keese Wing]]s and [[Keese Eyeball]]s. [[Ice Wizzrobe]]s and [[Blizzrobe]]s are able to summon one during combat.

As 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.

==''Age of Calamity''==
Ice Keese in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'' appear in similar fashion as their ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|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.

==''Tears of the Kingdom''==

{{quote|The intense frost that engulfs the bodies of these bat-like Keese makes them more dangerous than the standard type. They're capable of freezing anything they touch.|Hyrule Compendium entry}}

Ice Keese commonly appear in the coldest regions of Hyrule, such as the [[Hebra Mountains]] and [[Mount Lanayru]]. If [[Link (Breath of the Wild)#Tears of the Kingdom|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.
