The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Enemies: Difference between revisions

===Kakariko Village Graveyard===

* '''Poe'''

:This is a lantern wielding ghost that disappears when L-targeted.  If L-targeting is held, however, it will reappear. After it's defeated, its essence can be captured in a bottle. Poes attack when their graves are disturbed or if you come up to their floating lanterns. The color of their eyes fortells how they will act. Green means they won't attempt to attack, yellow means you've angered them and they may attack, and red marks an incoming attack. They attack by wildly spinning their lanterns, even if they're visible.

:This is a black bat. Although weak, it will set itself alight if a fire is nearby, becoming a Fire Keese; if Blue Fire is around, it will become an Ice Keese.  Although a quick sword-swipe will kill them, they are best dispatched with the slingshot/deku seeds, or the Boomerang. They usually nest in a certain spot, and don't move unless startled, which will trigger an attack.

* '''ReDead'''

:This is a restless undead creature.  It moves slowly but has a paralyzing shriek.  The Sun Song renders them inert for a moderate amount of time.  These enemies are best avoided early in the game.  Their attack consists of jumping onto Link's back and "vampiring" life from him, taking away 1/4 of a heart per second.  Rapidly tapping a button is the only means of escape. If one of their bretheren dies, they go to where the body lies, ignoring Link. Some ReDeads may crouch, and those that do can't shriek until they get 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.

* '''Shabom'''

:This is a bubble that floats toward you in a somewhat random way.  If it pops near you, it will send you flying backward, damaging you.  Use deku nuts, which will cause all of the near by shaboms to pop, or the boomerang for individuals.  The Fairy Slingshot is ineffective against it. A jump slash with a Deku Stick will provide adequate range to avoid its explosion upon its defeat. As Navi will tell you, it will only bounce off your Kokiri sword, although the magical sword-slash works ok if the boomerang has not been found yet.

* '''Tailpasaran'''

:A very agitating adversary. Not only is it armored, it will shock you if you slash it. Use Z/L-targeting and throw the boomerang at it to destroy it, or use the magical sword-slash.

* '''Stinger'''

:This a rather irritating enemy. It attacks in the same manner that the Guay and Keese do. A simple jump slash will dispose of it, but the boomerang will obliterate it with a single hit.  

* '''Parasitic Tentacle'''

* '''Bio-electric Anemone: Barinade'''

:The boss of the dungeon. It is a very dangerous opponent. Watch out for its electric beams it will constantly fire at you. In order to defeat it you must first target the tentacles attached to the ceiling with the boomerang. Once they have been knocked from the roof, attack it.  It will begin to spin around attempting to run into you. Stun it with the boomerang and destroy the Jellyfish protecting its weak point. This will make attacking it easier. Even once its protectors have been vanquished, it will still fire electricity at you. Stun it with the boomerang and attack it repeatedly. Repeat these actions until it is slain.

===Forest Temple===

* '''Blue Bubble'''

: Hovering skulls surrounded by blue fire. They attack by flying into you. To defeat them, use your Hookshot or let them bump into your shield when they are covered in fire, and strike the skull twice with your sword once it starts bouncing on the floor (this is easier if you Hook/Longshot it before hand, which immobilizes it).  

: Large, armored skeletons wielding a sword and shield. It will attack you at close range with its sword, or it will attack you at a distance by using a powerful jump attack. Stalfos have excellent blocking skills, and they are only vulnerable when they are about to make an attack, or as soon as they land from a jump attack. Some Stalfos are capable of regeneration; if their bones remain in a pile once they have been defeated, move quickly to accomplish your objective in the room, or they will regenerate. You'll encounter more of these in other places throughout the game, and, even though you can't block with it, Biggoron's Sword is the best way to defeat these guys, especially if they regenerate, because it delivers such a powerful blow.

* '''Wallmaster'''

: Giant decomposing hands that hang from the ceiling. Quite possibly the most agitating and annoying enemy in the game. Its shadow will encircle Link when he  nears, and after a second, it will drop down, and pick up Link, sending him all the way to the beginning of the dungeon. To avoid getting assaulted by one, continue moving (it begins hovering above you when you have stopped). To kill one relatively easily (this is easier if you play with the sound on,) simply stay in place as the shadow grows around you and you begin to hear a sucking sound. As soon as the sound stops and the shadow starts growing (or just before, if you are being particularly cautious) run away, then turn around once you hear it hit the floor and rapidly attack it with your sword before it ascends to the ceiling. If you manage to defeat a Wallmaster, it will drop a lot of rupees, and it will be well worth the fight.

* '''Floormaster'''

: Giant decomposing hands that crawl on the floor. Quite possibly one of the most frustrating and annoying enemies in the game. If you near it, it will turn green and fly towards you. Avoid its barrage by blocking it with your shield, or else it will pick you up and send you to the beginning of the dungeon. Attack it swiftly with your sword, and three tiny Floormasters will spawn from its remains. This is where the battle gets dangerous, as if you allow any of the hands (and it is possible for more than one to do this at the same time) to latch on to you, it will suck a large amount of life away, before regrowing into a large hand. Each of the tiny Floormasters will grow into a full-sized Floormaster, if you allow them a few seconds to do so, so quickly ambush them with your sword. Quite possibly the best weapon against the Floormaster is Din's Fire. Unleash Din's Fire, and cast it again to defeat the three tiny Floormasters that spawn.  

===Fire Temple===

* '''Torch Slug'''

: A slug with flames all over its body. If it's hit by one of Link's weapons, the fire on its body disappears. The hookshot will also stun it. It must be destroyed before it can re-ignite.

: The most disgusting thing you've ever seen, kind of like a slimey loofah: A tubey, worm-like enemy that sucks up Link's tunics and shields. It can be killed with arrows (which will keep it at a distance so it can't eat your gear) or a sword. It will give back the items it ate when you kill it. Just don't leave the room or you'll lose your gear and have to re-purchase it.

* '''Door Mimic'''

: A deceiving enemy that poses as a door, but falls on you if you try to open it. It is distingiushed by the fact that it sticks out from a wall. A bomb will eliminate one.

* '''Subterranean Lava Dragon: Volvagia'''

: The boss of the Fire Temple. The dragon that was sealed away with the Megaton Hammer, and revived by Ganondorf. It can be defeated by hitting with the Megaton Hammer each time it pops out of a lava hole, then slashed with a sword. It eventually becomes unpredictable and will pop out randomly. It can also breathe fire and pummel you with rocks. To avoid being pelted with either attack, cling onto the edge of the platform during each attack.

{{-}}

===Ice Cavern===

* '''Freezard'''

: An enemy made entirely of ice. It has the power to freeze you with its cold breath. Din's Fire is very useful against it, but your sword works as well. Freezards pop out of the ground when they attack, which is distinguished by a sudden rise of fog, allowing you to predict where they'll appear.

: Pots that easily pose as harmless ones, but they fly at you when you get near them. They break once they hit the ground, or hit your shield if you block them.  They may have something inside that could be of use to you.

===Water Temple===

* '''Spike'''

: A metal ball with sharp spikes that rolls toward you. It is impervious to anything, but when it stops rolling or hits your shield, it becomes a vulnerable rock you can attack from a distance.

* '''Shell Blade'''

: A clam with teeth on its back. When you get near it, it will open its  vulnerable mouth. Use the Hookshot or Fairy Bow on its mouth to kill it. Use your shield to avoid its teeth.

: The boss of the Water Temple. It is a pink nucleus that swims through the waters of Lake Hylia it stole. It can manipulate water and form it into a tentacle. It can cause damage to Link if a tentacle hits him, but the damage is much more lethal if it is actually able to grab Link and thrash him around. If you latch onto Morpha with the now-upgraded Longshot, you can pull it out of the water and to you to hit it. After a while, Morpha creates two tentacles at once to avoid.

===Bottom of the Well===

* '''Giant Green Bubble'''

:A larger than normal Green Bubble that stalks the corridors of the well. It does not remain stationary like its normal kind and is harder to avoid. It is the only one you'll face.

* '''Gibdo'''

:Gibdos are very similar to ReDead, since they shriek if they make eye contact with you and go to any Gibdos with them that die, but are wrapped in bandages and do not crouch like ReDead. Gibdos attack anyone who bothers them, and are a lot more unforgiving than ReDeads when they drain the life out of Link, taking away 1/2 of a heart per second.  They freeze when you play the Sun's Song.

* '''Phantom Shadow Beast: Bongo Bongo'''

:An evil shadow spirit that hides his body in the shadows and attacks with his hands. You must first stun his hands, then use the Lens of Truth to see his body and quickly shoot him in the eye before he is vulnerable to sword attacks.

{{-}}

===Gerudo Training Ground===

: These beasts are Lizalfos that have evolved for battle. They take more hits to kill and cause more damage with their swords, and can be very elusive.

===Haunted Wasteland===

* '''Leevers'''

:Small creatures that burrow out of the ground and attack in one direction. Most of the time, you'll be attacked by a group of Leevers, which makes it hard to escape them all. It's simple to just run past them, but if you want to make it to safety without getting hurt, use Nayru's Love.

===Spirit Temple (Young Link)===

* '''Anubis'''

:A dog-like mummy that hovers around narrow space and shoots fire at you if you approach it. They move just as you do (if you move to the left, he will move to his left.) The only way to defeat it is to engulf it in flames. There is a puzzle in the  room based on this, but Din's Fire or Fire Arrows will also work.
