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 you touch it while climbing.  Since it does not move, except to spin in place, it is generally easy to avoid.


 * 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 right and left appendages or indirectly by releasing Gohma Larva eggs.  If these eggs are not destroyed, they will hatch Gohma Larva.  Gohma's weakness is her eye, which can be hit with the Fairy Slingshot or a Deku Nut when it is red.  This stuns her, at which point you can attack with your sword.  If done quickly, multiple attacks are possible.

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.
