The Legend of Zelda Enemies

There are many enemies you will encounter in the Legend of Zelda. Without the proper know-how, they can make your adventure through Hyrule more than strenuous. Use this enemies guide if you need to know how to beat a certain enemy.

Zelda Armos Knight Sprite Armos Knight
Once you touch these statue like enemies, they will come to life. Some move very fast while others will move extremely slow. You can defeat these enemies with your sword.

Zelda Bubble Sprite Bubble
These guys are circular in shape and look to have a face on them. Once hit by them, you will momentarilly loose the ability to attack with your sword. You cannot destroy these enemies.

Zelda Darknut Sprite Darknut
These guys carry shields and can be a real pain in the you know what. You should attack its sides or from behind. Hiding behind these and popping out to attack usually gets the job done well, expecially if your low on life.

Zelda Gel Sprite Gel
These little blobs look alot like Hershey Kisses, and Ive always though Link should have an eating technique for these. Anyways, easy to defeat, its not rocketry.

Zelda Gibdo Sprite Gibdo
These mummies wander aimlessly around looking to kill you. A few hits should do em off, or you could try the candle.

Zelda Ghini Sprite Ghini
These can be found in the Graveyards, and certain other areas. You can only kill the original by sword. You can touch gravestones to make others appear.

Zelda Goriya Sprite Goriya
These are the boomerang throwing Moblins you will encounter from time to time.

Keese
These bat creatures will fly around their area. They are easy to fend off, use the boomerang or your sword, or maybe a bomb even.   There are very common enemies in any Legend of Zelda game.

Lanmola
These look like large centipedes. Keep attacking them to finish em off, or if you dont have to kill em pass them on up.


Leever
These guys will bury themselves in the ground and surface to attack. They are easily avoidable.

Like Like
This blob will work its way around the room in hopes to devour something tasty, like Link. Once eaten, he can take items from you, like your shield. Watch out.

 

Lynel
These look like half dog, half horse creatures. They will shoot a sword beam at you, so becareful of that.

Moblin
These look like bulldogs. They are very common, and easy to destroy. Some will shoot arrows, while others will throw boomerangs.  These are also very common enemies to the Legend of Zelda series.

Moldorm
These guys look like a group of fireballs stuck together. Keep attacking it to destroy it.

Octorock
This spiked creature has a long snout and will fire rocks at you. You can deflect them with the large shield.

Patra
This thing is weird looking. It is almost like a giant eye surrounded by other eyes. Patra likes to corner you. You must take out the eyes surrounding it to kill its center.

Peahat
These creatures fly around the screen. You can kill them once they have stopped with your sword.

Pols Voice
These rabbit head looking creatures will leap around trying to jump on you. Use the bow and arrow with some careful aim to kill them easily.

Rock
These will fall from the Death Mountain and various other places.

Rope
These snakes will rush at you if you get in its path. They are easy to kill. I recommend stunning them with the boomerang then rushing in for an attack.

Stalfos
These skeletons are really no threat. They are slow and easy to kill.  These are  common enemies to the Legend of Zelda.

Statue
These statues can be found in most all dungeons. They will fire projectiles at you which you can dodge with the Magic Shield.

Tektite
These spider-like creatures will jump around attempting to land on you. They will pause momentarilly, which you should take advantage of.

Traps
These are usually found in dungeon doorways. If you approach em, they slam shut. Walk up carefully, let them slam, and proceed as they open.

Vire
These will just jump around the room making them an easy kill. Time their landing right and attack them as they land.

Wall Master
These guys will come out of the walls in dungeons. If they grab Link, they will pull you back to the beginning of the dungeon. That can get annoying.

Wizzrobe
These wizzards are the most annoying creature in the game. They will move around the room and fire powerful magical shots at you. At times, they will disappear and reappear in other places.

Zol
These are beefed up Gel. They are really no threat.
