Arm-Mimics are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] They move by mirroring Link in opposite directions, in the same way as Shy Guys. A sword slash does nothing but push one back. To defeat them, Link must use spin attacks or charge through them with his sword using the Pegasus Boots.
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, Arm-Mimics are found exclusively within Dream Shrine, Turtle Rock and the cave where Link obtains the Magnifying Lens. Arm-Mimics found in this cave are invisible and can only be seen with the Magnifying Lens. It is easiest to defeat them by using a Spin Attack or Charge Attack making it easier to defeat these enemies. Arm-Mimics deal three hearts of damage, making them the strongest enemies in the game.
Oracle of Seasons & Oracle of Ages
The Arm-Mimics in Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages look and act exactly the same as in Link's Awakening. The differences are, they can withstand more damage, they cause only one heart damage, and they can be defeated with a normal sword slash. They are found in various dungeons.
To defeat them, Link must first either back them into a wall or move carefully so that they will slowly move towards him, and then slash away at them a few times with his sword.
