'''Ropes''' are nimble snake enemies that only cause minimal damage when you touch them. They usually attack by dashing forward when you're in sight. Use the sword on them and they'll disappear. They have the honor of being in every 2D Zelda title as well as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. Although Ropes don't appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', despite appearing in the prequel, the [[Whip]] resembles them.

==''The Legend of Zelda''==
===The Legend of Zelda===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', there are two types of ropes: Red and Flashing, and they can be found in various dungeons. When ropes see Link they rush towards him quite quickly in an effort to injure him. They can easily be defeated with the Sword, but Flashing ropes found in the [[Second Quest]] are four times as strong as the red variation.

===The Adventure of Link===
==''The Adventure of Link''==
In ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', Ropes act in a similar fashion to [[Octorok|Blue Octoroks]], often spitting [[Boulder|rocks]] at [[Link]]. Some slither along the ground and shoot projectiles both high and low. Red Ropes, only found in the [[Great Palace]], spit fireballs that can only be blocked by the [[Reflect Spell]].
{{main|Aneru}}
In ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' a similar looking enemy appears known as [[Aneru]]. These are snake like monsters that will shoot either rocks or fireballs out towards Link.

{| class="wikitable" style="float:left; text-align:center; width:500px;"
Unlike in ''The Legend of Zelda'' and ''The Adventure of Link'', there is only one type of Rope, and they are usually found within various dungeons. When a rope catches sight of Link, it rushes towards him very fast in an effort to injure him. They take approximately two hits to defeat with the regular sword, and they can easily deplete Link's hearts quickly in the beginning of the game as they move very quickly. One of their most iconic appearances takes place early in the game when Link is given two switches to choose between. One will open the door to the Sanctuary, the other will cause Ropes to fall from the ceiling.

==''Link's Awakening''==
These snake-like enemies are constantly moving around the room looking for their enemy. When they see Link, they will dart at him in a straight line. Ropes may be frustrating at first, but they are very easy to predict once used to them. Wait in one spot in the room, near the edge of the wall, or in the corner of the room. When a Rope is darting at Link, face towards it and be ready to give it a single slice with the sword.

Ropes are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series. They usually attack by dashing forward when Link is in sight. A sword is an effective weapon to use on them, which in turn causes them to disappear. They only cause minimal damage when touched. Although Ropes do not appear in Spirit Tracks, despite appearing in the prequel, the Whip resembles them.

The Legend of Zelda

In The Legend of Zelda, there are two types of ropes: Red and Flashing, and they can be found in various dungeons. When ropes see Link they rush towards him quite quickly in an effort to injure him. They can easily be defeated with the Sword, but Flashing ropes found in the Second Quest are four times as strong as the red variation.

The Adventure of Link

Main article: Aneru

In The Adventure of Link a similar looking enemy appears known as Aneru. These are snake like monsters that will shoot either rocks or fireballs out towards Link.

A Link to the Past

Unlike in The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link, there is only one type of Rope, and they are usually found within various dungeons. When a rope catches sight of Link, it rushes towards him very fast in an effort to injure him. They take approximately two hits to defeat with the regular sword, and they can easily deplete Link's hearts quickly in the beginning of the game as they move very quickly. One of their most iconic appearances takes place early in the game when Link is given two switches to choose between. One will open the door to the Sanctuary, the other will cause Ropes to fall from the ceiling.

Link's Awakening

These snake-like enemies are constantly moving around the room looking for their enemy. When they see Link, they will dart at him in a straight line. Ropes may be frustrating at first, but they are very easy to predict once used to them. Wait in one spot in the room, near the edge of the wall, or in the corner of the room. When a Rope is darting at Link, face towards it and be ready to give it a single slice with the sword.
