Rover[1], also known as Smasher, is a mini-boss from Link's Awakening. It appears twice, both times with its signature ball that it throws at its enemies.

Battles

Face Shrine

Rover's first appearance is in Face Shrine. Link must use a bomb on a wall in order to find Rover's room. Once inside, Link finds a closed door at the north of the room and Rover within.

Rover's main attack is to throw a round black ball at Link. In order to defeat him, Link must manage to pick up the ball before Rover can retrieve it after a throw. When he does so, Rover begins running around the room. Link can throw the ball at Rover to deal some damage. If he is quick enough, he can pick the ball back up before the mini-boss recovers and throw it a second time, or possibly even a third or fourth. It usually takes around four hits before Rover is defeated. After, a portal appears that leads back to the entrance of the dungeon, and Rover turns into a fairy. The door at the north of the room is also opened.

Turtle Rock

Like many of the other mini-bosses in the game, Rover is found once again in Turtle Rock, this time in the east of the dungeon. Its room has three doors—Link enters from the southern door, and he opens the western and northern doors upon Rover's defeat. The battle is nearly identical to the encounter at Face Shrine: Rover's weakness still lies within his own weapon, which Link must throw back at him four times in order to win. As before, a fairy appears when Rover is killed.
