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

The following page lists all of the enemies that Link faces in his travels.  They are listed according to the time period and location in which they are introduced.

==Young Link==

=== Kokiri Village ===

* '''Deku Baba (withered)'''

* '''Deku Baba'''

:A stationary plant that will bite you if you're not careful.  Unlike the withered variety, this plant has a limited 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 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 often offer information.

* '''Skullwalltula'''

:This small spider-like creature resides on the walls.  It will knock you off the walls as you climb if it touches you.  If it's going to attack you, it'll turn purple.

* '''Big Skulltula'''

* '''Gold Skulltula'''

:Gold Skulltulas are a rare breed of Skulltula. They basically are collectibles. Shoot and kill them, and you will get Gold Skulltula Tokens.  There are 100 Gold Skulltulas in the game. Later on in the game, you can use these tokens to earn a series of prizes, such as the Adult's Wallet at 10 tokens, the Stone of Agony at 20, the Giant's Wallet at 30, some Bombchus at 40, a Piece of Heart at 50, and lastly, an infinite supply of Gold Rupees when you collect all 100. For more information on them, consult the [[../Gold Skulltulas|Gold Skulltula Mini-Quest Section]].

* '''Gohma Larva'''

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

* '''Parasitic Armored Arachnid: Queen Gohma'''

: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. Hit the eye with the slingshot to stun it and attack it with your sword repeatedly. Try to hit it in the eye while it is on the ceiling to prevent it from releasing larva and making it easier to slay.

=== 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. Once tired or far away from the Peahat that spawned them, they will go away or will die if they plow into the ground.

* '''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.  Defeating a series of them in a row causes a large Stalchild to appear that will drop a better rewarding item or Rupee when defeated. Stalchildren can't swim or stay out in the daytime. They will ignore you if you ignore them and run off from them. If you wear the bunny hood, they will not pop out. Just as well, they won't pop out if you remain on one of the dirt paths.

=== Lon Lon Ranch ===

* '''Guay'''

:This black bird comes out at night, but you can see its shadow on the ground. Simply hit it with a weapon to destroy it. If enough Guay are killed, a large Guay will swoop down and attack. Killing it will make a Red Rupee appear.

===Kakariko Village Graveyard===

===Royal Family Tomb===

* '''Keese'''

: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.

===Death Mountain Trail===

===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. To destroy it, blow it up with a bomb.

* '''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.

* '''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.

* '''Dodongo'''

:This creature breathes fire.  Its tail is its vulnerable point.  It explodes tremendously when it is defeated.

* '''Armos'''

:Unlike regular Keese, Fire Keese are very elusive. They will swoop down to release their flames onto you and then fly around constantly, making them hard to target. If your Deku Shield is equipped when it hits you, your Deku Shield will burn up. Fire Keese lose their burning ability after attacking and revert to normal Keese, but will re-ignite if a flame is nearby.

* '''Infernal Dinosaur: King Dodongo'''

:The boss of Dodongo's Cavern, this creature has a fiery breath and a devastating rolling attack. It is vulnerable when it is preparing for its fiery attack. Toss a bomb into its mouth and, when the ordinance detonates, it will be stunned. Slash it repeatedly until it curls up into a ball and rolls around. Make certain that you have the Hylian Shield equipped as it will protect from the monster's rolling attack. If you employ the Deku Stick and jump slash the creature, it will perish very quickly.

===Zora's River===

* '''Octorok'''

:This enemy resides in the water.  Its method of attack is to fire rocks at you, which can be deflected with your shield.  This creature will hide from you if you get too close.  It can be killed by deflecting its rocks back at it, or by using the boomerang.

* '''Blue Tektite'''

:This enemy is much like the Red Tektite, but walks on water. You can kill it with your light arrows for a purple rupee.

===Jabu-Jabu's Belly===

* '''Biri'''

:This jellyfish-like creature floats slowly through the air.  It may be easy to avoid, but it shocks you with electricity if you do not use ranged attacks. The boomerang is the best weapon to use against it. The Fairy Slingshot is ineffective against it. A combination of Deku Nuts to bring them down and hits with the sword to kill them can be used.  The magical sword-slash attack works, but the range and timing are of such critical importance that it's just easier to use the boomerang. It is also possible to kill biri by throwing Princess Ruto at them, but you will need to aim well.
