'''Keese''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are bat-like creatures, usually black-skinned, that attack [[Link]] by flying toward him and subsequently coming bumping into him, which deals damage. Keese are nimble creatures that prove to be more of a nuisance than a feared enemy. They are most often found in caves and [[dungeon]]s, but they can sometimes be found in the [[overworld]] as well.

They are most often found in caves and [[dungeon]]s, but they can sometimes be found in the [[overworld]] as well.


There are also many variations on Keese, such as the [[Fire Keese|Fire]] and [[Ice Keese|Ice]] versions. In the latest 3D ''The Legend of Zelda'' titles, even more variations have been shown, including the [[Shadow Keese|Twilit]], [[Thunder Keese|Thunder]], and [[Dark Keese|Dark]] variations.
There are also many variations on Keese, such as the [[Fire Keese|Fire]], [[Ice Keese|Ice]] and [[Thunder Keese|Thunder]]/[[Electric Keese|Electric]] variations.

Keese are found in every dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. In fact, some dungeons have rooms with nothing in them besides large numbers of Keese. Additionally, Keese appear once a [[Vire]] has been damaged, at which point it will split into two Keese. One method of attack against the Keese are simple [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|sword]] slashes, but that is not recommended as coming too close to them could result in contact, which will deal damage. The recommended method of attack is to use the [[Boomerang]] or [[Magical Boomerang]], which defeats them in one shot and doesn't require Link to come close to them.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Keese will remain dormant and leave Link alone until he moves close to it.{{Ref|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150722213853/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/k.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]|Keese prefer to peacefully hang from the ceiling in dark places, but they can quickly sneak up on anyone who doesn't keep a sharp ear out for the chilling sound of their flapping wings. They move constantly, which makes them very difficult to defeat.}} As Link approaches a Keese will start to fly around, with its only to attack being to fly right into Link. Keese do not take much damage and are easily defeated with a wide variety of weapons. The [[Fighter's Sword]] and [[Boomerang]] will defeat a Keese with just one hit. Keese first appear within the [[Secret Passage]] as Link is escorting [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] to the [[Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|Sanctuary]]. Beyond this early appearance, Keese mainly appear in the dark tunnels on [[Death Mountain]]. The [[Dark World]] counterpart to a Keese is a [[Chasupa]].

Keese are found in just about all dungeons within the game and are the basic enemies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. They can be defeated with a wide variety of weapons, but projectile weapons, including the [[Slingshot]], [[Boomerang]], [[Fairy Bow]], or the [[Hookshot]] work best. Every single weapon that [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] has will defeat a Keese with a single shot, with the exception of [[Deku Nut]]s, which will only stun the enemies. In addition to regular Keese, Link will also encounter both [[Fire Keese]] and [[Ice Keese]].

If a Keese has contact with flame, it will encase its outer body with fire, thus making it a [[Fire Keese]]. If Link has his [[Deku Shield]] equipped, and tries to defend against the Fire Keese, the shield will burn up. Fire Keese are commonly found throughout [[Dodongo's Cavern]] and the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]], but are also seen in places like the [[Spirit Temple]].

If a Keese flies through [[Blue Fire]], it will encase its body in ice, thus making it [[Ice Keese]]. These bats are a bit more annoying than [[Fire Keese]], as well as more scarce. If [[Link]] comes in contact with an Ice Keese, it will freeze his body, slowly draining hearts. Link can easily defend against it with his shield, however, making them significantly easier.

==''Majora's Mask''==
==''Majora's Mask''==
Keese in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' are almost exactly the same as the ones in ''Ocarina of Time''. Following the trend, both Fire Keese and Ice Keese appear. They can be found in [[Beneath the Well|Ikana Well]], [[Stone Tower]], and the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. If Link wears the [[Stone Mask]], he is invisible to Keese, making it handy for avoiding large groups of them.
In addition, ''Majora's Mask'' features [[Bad Bat]]s — large bat creatures similar to Keese that can be found pretty much everywhere and deal a bit more damage than their smaller counterparts.

This is due to the fact that Flagship used certain data from ''Link's Awakening'' when programming these games. They do, however, move more erratically than those found in ''Link's Awakening''. Fire Keese also appear in both ''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''Oracle of Ages''. [[Big Keese]] sometimes accompany the Blue [[Stalfos]] located in the [[Ancient Tomb]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', there are three variations of Keese. Normal Keese and Fire or Ice Keese. Normal Keese are just another enemy and can be defeated with most any weapon. Fire and Ice Keese, however, are dangerous to touch and could possibly freeze or set Link on fire, respectively.

Fire Keese are usually found in fire-type areas, such as the [[Goron Mines]]. Fire Keese are exactly like normal Keese, the only difference being they are engulfed in fire constantly. Because of this, if one comes in contact with [[Link]] while he is using the [[Ordon Shield|ordon]] or [[Wooden Shield]], it will burn up due to their wooden material. However, they will have no effect on the [[Hylian Shield]], so it is recommended to have that shield equipped when traveling to fire-based areas that may contain Fire Keese. Projectiles weapons are most effective against Fire Keese as they prevent Link from having to come close to them.

Keese in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'' are identical to their ''Phantom Hourglass'' counterpart. As one of the weakest enemies in the game, Keese will do a 1/4 heart of damage if they attack Link and they can be defeated with a single sword slash.

Fire and Ice Keese also appear as well, and these variants cannot be defeated with Link's Sword. If Link uses the [[Whirlwind]] on a fire or ice Keese, they will lose their ice or flame, then making them vulnerable to sword attacks. Fire and Ice Keese are usually found near a source of their respective element, and if they fly back into that element they will gain their coat again.

All Keese are immune to the effects of [[Kilton]]'s monster masks, [[Majora's Mask#Breath of the Wild|Majora's Mask]] and other monster and Stal imitating effects from armor, so they're the most inconvenient monsters to encounter when wearing those, as their attacks alert other monsters of the ruse and blow Link's cover.

{{quote|The unpredictable flight pattern of this nocturnal, bat-like species can make fighting them a nuisance, but they're weak enough to fell with a single strike. Sometimes they like to form packs, and they have been seen swarming out of caves together.|In-game description}}
Three Keese appear in the prologue [[Beneath Hyrule Castle]] and are easily dispatched with one hit from the [[Master Sword]].
They are common across [[Hyrule]], appearing at night and in [[Cave]]s. They often attack in packs or in swarms when Link enters a Cave.
[[Fuse]] Keese eyeballs to arrows to create homing arrows, and Keese wings to make normal arrows fly further.

Keese appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest|Battle Quest]]'' in a very similar fashion as their previous appearances. They usually travel in packs and will try to fly right into Link. Link can defend himself using his shield or he can place a well timed sword attack to defeat a Keese in one strike. They will also fall to one arrow from the archer.

Keese are found mostly inside of caves and other indoor areas. Much like other enemies, their attacks can be devastating as the short recovery time could make a simple attack take several hearts of damage. In most cases, even after defeating a keese, more will come from the sides of the screen. Unfortunately, Keese often come from various angles and it can be tough to judge where Zelda needs to attack. It is advantageous to get rid of Keese if they are directly in Zelda's way, but it is preferable to avoid them if at all possible.
