==''The Adventure of Link''==

Aches are mostly found in caves, swooping down to attack whenever [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)#The Adventure of Link|Link]] goes beneath them.{{Ref|pg. 22|They swoop down from the shadows of deep caverns.|''[[Nintendo Power]] Issue 004''}}{{Ref|Ache|Similar to Keese, Aches are a slightly different species of bat which hide in cave ceilings and swoop down on their prey.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150722213853/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/index.jsp#Ache The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]}} There are two variations of Ache.

===Blue Ache===

Usually, it hangs upside down from trees or in caves.|''The Adventure of Link US Instruction Manual''}} When Link is near, they dive down in an attempt to attack him before retreating to treetops or cave ceiling. They deal a small amount of damage and can be killed with a sword slash. Link gains 3 [[Experience Point|experience points]] for defeating the Blue Ache.

===Purple Ache===

Purple Ache can only be found in the [[Water Town of Saria]] and the [[Mountain Town of Darunia|Darunia]]. This Ache is called "Eyes of Ganon" by townsfolk because they can disguise themselves as ordinary villagers.{{Ref|AoL|30|Man in [[Water Town of Saria]]}} After Link talks to certain villagers of the town, they may transform back into their Ache form. While slightly weaker than their blue counterparts, they cause much more damage. Link gains 3 experience points for defeating one.
