Fire Keese are a variation of the standard Zelda enemies, the Keese. They are basically the same thing, the only difference is a Fire Keese is encased with fire, therefore harming Link upon contact.

Appearances

A Link to the Past

While very similar to the Fire Keese, the Blazing Bats are seen in A Link to the Past and are summoned by Ganon in the battle against Link for the Triforce.

Link's Awakening

Like previously, while not known as the Fire Keese, the Blazing Bats play the same role as the previous game in Link's Awakening where they are summoned by Nightmare's Ganon form.

Ocarina of Time

		Fire Keese Destroy it before it flies into you! If you don't, its flames will burn up your Deku Shield!

Fire Keese make their debut in Ocarina of Time and are first encountered within Dodongo's Cavern. If they attack Link, their fire will go out, turning back into regular Keese. They can then dive into another torch to reignite. If they attack Link while he has the Deku Shield equipped, the shield will burn up. It is recommended that Link use the Hylian Shield to avoid having his Deku Shield burned up.

As with regular Keese, projectiles work best in defeating them, with the Slingshot in particular working very well.

Majora's Mask

		Don't tell me you don't know about the Fire Keese! Defeat it before it swoops down on you. I do not want to roast!

Fire Keese act the same as Ocarina of Time.

Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages

Fire Keese appear in the Sword & Shield Maze and Skull Dungeon in Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, respectively. Due to their higher flight path, Roc's Feather or Roc's Cape may be necessary for Link to defeat Fire Keese.

The Wind Waker

Fire Keese behave as in most previous games. They first appear in Dragon Roost Cavern, but also appear in Caves and various other areas throughout the Great Sea.

Keese
	Habitat: Dragon Roost Cavern Least Favorite Thing: Projectiles These bats fly around dark places and attack anything that moves. Great care should be taken around Fire Keeses that appear during times of volcanic activity.

Twilight Princess

Fire Keese in Twilight Princess appear fairly often. They can be found in the Goron Mines, and in some dark caverns that can be accessed in the overworld. They are easily defeated with a swing of Link's sword. Like in Ocarina of Time, if Link has the Ordon Shield or the Wooden Shield equipped when he gets hit by them, it will burn up and he will lose it. This won't happen with the Hylian Shield.

Phantom Hourglass

Fire Keese are first encountered in the Temple of Fire and must be defeated with a ranged weapon such as the Bow or Boomerang.

Spirit Tracks

Fire Keese must be defeated with a ranged weapon such as the Bow, Boomerang or Whip. Fire Keese respawn infinitely by some fire pits.

Skyward Sword

		Target lock: Fire Keese Found near volcanoes, these monsters are attracted to dark places, such as caves. Constantly under combustion, they will burn anything on contact. They often gather in colonies, are active at night, and sleep in the day. Those who come too close and awaken them often fall victim to attack.

Fire Keese are a fiery variety of Keese and act similarly to their ordinary counterparts. If they get too close, they will burn Link and damage his Wooden Shield.

Breath of the Wild

This type of Keese can be found in the Eldin region of the game, and are easy to spot due to their bright flames. They will hover around Link for a short amount of time before charging at him, potentially setting him alight. If Link is holding any wooden based weapons, shields, or bows, they could light on fire. When defeated, a Fire Keese may drop a Fire Keese Wing or a Keese Eyeball.

Fire Keese will die under rainy conditions, dropping dead when their fire is extinguished. Also, unlike normal Keese and much like other elemental Keese, they do not flock.

Age of Calamity

Fire Keese in Age of Calamity appear in similar fashion as their Breath of the Wild counterparts. They are weak enemies and will be defeated with just a single attack. Upon being defeated, they may drop a Fire Keese Wing or a Keese Eyeball. After each Fire Keese is defeated, the player will receive a Keese Trophy, which can be used to complete quests or upgrade weapons of the various warriors.
