The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Enemies

The following page lists all of the enemies that Link faces in his travels. They are listed according to location.

Kokiri Village

 * Deku Baba (withered)
 * This plant poses little threat, since it has no real means of attack. However, if touched, it will cause damage.  A single blow will kill it, leaving a deku stick.  In the Kokiri Village area, these plants are only found around the Great Deku Tree beyond Mido.

Inside the Deku Tree

 * Deku Baba
 * A stationary plant that will bite you if you're not careful. Unlike the withered variety, this plant has a limit reach of attack.  Killing it while it is not attacking will yield a deku nut, whereas attacking it in its extended position will stun it.  Killing it in this stunned position will yield a deku stick.


 * Deku Baba (withered)
 * This plant poses little threat, since it has no real means of attack. However, if touched, it will cause damage.  A single blow will kill it, leaving a deku stick.


 * Deku Scrub
 * This creature pops up out of the ground and shoots deku nuts at you. Reflecting a deku nut back to the Deku Scrub will cause it to jump out of its hole.  If left alone, it will eventually take its place again in the hole.  However, if it is caught, it will either offer items for sale or information.


 * Skullwalltula
 * This small spider-like creature resides on the walls. It will knock you off the walls if it touches you while climbing.


 * Big Skulltula
 * This skulltula drops down suddenly, but does not seem to have any other form of attack. Attack it when its "soft belly" is exposed.


 * Gohma Larva
 * This enemy tends to attack by hopping at you when its eye turns red. It usually takes two hits to kill.


 * Gohma
 * Also known as Queen Gohma or Parasitic Armored Arachnid Gohma, she is the boss of the Deku Tree level. This large enemy attacks directly with her two upper appendages or indirectly by releasing Gohma Larva eggs.  If these eggs are not destroyed, they will hatch Gohma Larva.  Its weak point is its eye.

Hyrule Field

 * Peahat
 * This is a large, flying, spinning flower. As it spins, its roots will become visible.  Attack these roots to defeat this enemy.  This enemy does not attack at night.  However, if struck at night, it releases Peahat Larva.


 * Peahat Larva
 * This smaller version of the Peahat cannot be damaged by your sword. However, it can be blocked with your shield.  After attacking, it disappears.


 * Stalchild
 * This skeletal enemy erupts from the ground after night falls. A horizontal slice with your sword will remove its head.  Upon doing this, it has a harder time finding you.  A vertical slice does equal damage but does not remove the head.  Its slow movement makes it easy to avoid or defeat.

Lon Lon Ranch

 * Guay
 * This black bird comes out at night,but you can see its shadow on the ground.

Kakariko Village Graveyard

 * Poe


 * This is a lantern wielding ghost that disappears when L-targeted. After it's defeated, its essense can be captured in a bottle.

 * This is an restless undead creature. It moves slowly but has a paralyzing shriek.  The Sun Song renders them inert for a moderate amount of time.

Death Mountain Trail

 * Red Tektite
 * This four-legged creature's only method of movement and attack is a small jump.

Sacred Forest Meadow

 * Wolfos
 * This werewolf will block your attacks unless you time them correctly. Hitting him in the back causes more damage.


 * Mad Scrub
 * Like the Deku Scrub, but fires 3 Deku Nuts in succession. It will not sell you anything or give you any information.

Dodongo's Cavern

 * Beamos
 * This enemy stands stationary, its head continually rotating 360 degrees. If it catches sight of you with its single eye, it will send out a beam of light to attack you.


 * Baby Dodongo
 * A baby dodongo appears from the ground and wriggles toward you. It attacks you by jumping at you, and when defeated, it explodes like a bomb.


 * Keese
 * This is a black bat. Although weak, it will set itself alight if a fire is nearby.  If your Deku Shield is equipped when it hits you, your Deku Shield will burn up.


 * Lizalfos
 * This lizard-like humanoid fights with shield and sword. Wait for the opportunity to attack.  It will run away when it has been nearly defeated.
