Anti-Fairy: A lone skull with red orbs rotating around itself. This enemy moves smoothly across a room in a very predictable manner. If it touches Link, then his Magic Power will be sucked away from him. There is no way to destroy an Anti-Fairy, but you can use magic powder to freeze it for a while.

Archer: This is a Castle Guard that has been trained vigorously with the Bow & Arrow. This is his primary weapon.

Armos: These are statues that stand still until you get too close. Then they will suddenly shake alive and start charging towards you!

Ball 'n Chain Trooper: This is also in the Boss Section, but you will encounter a number of these enemies when you return to Hyrule Castle to fight Agahnim for the first time.

Beamos: This is a statue that stands still, but has a rotating eye that scans the room that they are in. If they detect any movement, then a laser will shoot from their eye. It's really difficult when there are a few of them in a single room!

Big Octo: There is only one of these strange creatures that can be found in Hyrule. This creature explodes after a few seconds, projecting Mini Octos into the air.

Bouncer: This is a creature that is similar to those cactus enemies in Super Mario World, except these ones bounce. When you attack it, one of its cactus spheres will bounce around the room a few times. You destroy this enemy by getting rid of its head.

Bug: This is a small and nimble creature that floats on the surface of water.

Bull Knight: In the Dark World, this is the appearance of the Blue Soldiers. They charge at Link, until destroyed or distracted.

Buri: An electric jellyfish that floats in the air. After it is destroyed, it splits into Mini Buris.

Buzz Blob: This is a living amoeba made of green slime. If you attack it with your sword, it will electrocute you! You can attack these enemies safely with an arrow, or freeze them first with your Boomerang (then you can attack them).

Castle Guard: These enemies are a bit tougher than the Castle Soldiers.

Castle Soldier: Some of the first enemies you will encounter in the game. These are members of the Hyrulean Army that have been put under a spell by Ganon. Now they are after our hero, Link!

Centaur: These are half human, half horse creatures under the spell of Ganon. Atop Death Mountain in the Dark World, you will find these very strong creatures protecting Ganon's Castle! They are the strongest enemies you will find in the game!

Chu Chu: These enemies appear from under dungeon floors. They are blobs of goo that will bounce in your direction until you destroy them.

Cloud: This mysterious mist hovers above the ground. From within it, comes a small amoeba which will stay in a place for a short while. Attack the red amoebae to destroy both it and the cloud.

Crab: Among the field-dwelling creatures, this Crab is one that resides around water sources. It moves slowly vertically, but moves very quickly horizontally. Attack with your sword accordingly.

Crow: This crow will be found in many places among Hyrule's landscapes. The Crow will be pearched on a sign, tree, or cliff, and when you come near, it will begin to fly at you and attack. They are easy enough to defeat, but try to avoid flocks of them!

Cyclops: This is an enemy that has but one eye! There are two species of Cyclops. One is the red and blue species that you will find in Light World dungeons. These Cyclops will close their eyes until you approach them. Then they will open their eye and start to run towards you. Red Cyclops of this species can only be attacked with arrows. The other Cyclops species can be found among the fields of the Dark World. It is a tall, brown creature that has tough skin. So it'll take a few swings from the sword to finish him off. Be careful, this species of Cyclops is equipped with an unlimited amount of explosives!

Cyclops Fish: This is the Dark World form of the Zora. They poke their head out of the water and shoot an energy sphere at you!

Firro: This is an air-born Mushroom which drops bombs in the Dark World. It is commonly seen in swamp-like areas.

Flying Eye: Very similar to the Keese, they will fly around the room if you get too close!

Geldman: This is cursed sand which comes alive to attack you. They are found in the Desert and can appear out of nowhere!

Gibdo: Similar to mummies, these undead enemies are pretty strong. Try to attack them with your Fire Rod. That toilet paper is flamable!

Goryia: These strange looking creatures come in two colors. Both red and green ones follow every movement of yours. But the red ones, when you are in their direct path of view, will shoot a fireball at you. The only way to destroy a Goryia is to attack it with an arrow.

Helmasaur: These are odd creatures that have masks one, protecting the front of their bodies from any attacks. Use the spin attack!

Horse: This evil horse walks on two feet and will shoot an angry fireball from it's mouth!

Ice Man: This is an evil demon made up completely of ice! It has a quick vertical walk, but the best time to attack it with the Fire Rod is when it is moving horizontal (it walks much slower).

Keese: These bat-like creatures will begin flying around if you get too close!

Leever: These enemies dive under the sand and reappear right under your feet. When you know these creatures are around, keep moving your feet when they dive under the sand.

Like Like: This odd creature roams in the Dark World and sticks its tongue out to try and grab hard-earned items of yours!

Lizard: These creatures are the form of Rats in the Dark World!

Medusa: These weird creatures have many tentacles coming from the top of their bodies. They are really easy to destroy, so don't let their odd look dissuade you. They dwell in the Dark World. (They are the mirrors of the Serpents)

Mini Burri: After you destroy a Burri, two Mini Burris will come out of it.

Mini Moldorm: These are tiny worms that move in random directions. The best way to defeat them is to use a spin attack.

Pengator: This enemy, found in the Ice Dungeon, runs and slides across the icy floors with it's mouth open, trying to eat you!

Poe: These are ghosts that hover over the haunted graves of northern Hyrule. They take many strikes with the sword to destroy, so its best to avoid them.

Pterodactyl: This is the form in which the Crow takes in the Dark World.

Rabbit: This Field Rabbit jumps out of the high grass and tries to attack you.

Rat: Rats live in small, cramped places, or other damp areas. They move quickly, so when they stop to eat a little food, use your sword!

Reaper: This is the form of Poes in the Dark World.

Rhinosaur: These are triceratops-looking enemies which spit out flames of fire!

Serpent: This is a creature that has purple and gold tentacles waving in the air! This creature is only in the Light World dungeons.

Skeleton: These are living skeletons that are out to destroy Link. They roam in the dungeons of Hyrule and the Dark World. When you attack them, they jump away to try and dodge it. The red Skeletons even throw bones at you! It is best to walk up next to them with your sword charged up and perform a spin attack!

Snakes: These enemies sliver silently in dark areas. They attack you only if you are seen!

Snap Dragon: This creature actually looks scarier than it actually is, which is kind of a let down, but helps us as players! It hops around the Dark World, usually among other enemies, opening and closing its mouth. It only takes a few hits to destroy it. For such an odd-looking creature, it isn't much of a threat.

Spider: These are some odd looking spiders I tell you. They pulsate on the ground and try to bump you off of the floor and into holes. They are difficult to destroy, especially when they come in groups.

Spidoroc: This is the form of the Octorok in the Dark World. This creature looks more like a spider rather than an octopus. It still shoots rocks out of its mouth.

Squirrel: These creatures roam on top of Death Mountain. When you hit them with your sword, they temporarily turn to stone.

Stalfos: These creatures are overgrown skeletons equipped with a large sword. They jump down from the ceiling before attacking you. The only way to destroy them is to use bombs.

Swamola: This is a worm that lays stationary under the ground and pops up above the sand to shoot energy spheres at Link! Don't get sucked into its mouth!

Tektite: This is a bouncy spider-like creature that lives in Death Mountain. They are simple enough to defeat, as long as you can actually catch one- they dodge your sword very well!

Tile: In some rooms, the tiles will begin to rise into the air and fly towards Link! These tiles will crumble upon impact, so either destroy them by dodging, or hit them with your sword.

Turtle: These turtles take some technique to defeat. First off, you cannot attack these enemies as their shells will protect them from all oncoming attacks. You must use the Hammer and hit the ground near them. When you do that, they will flip over onto their backs for a short while. At this time, you can hit them with your sword. If you do not, they will turn back over.

Vulture: This creature is one of many that live in the Desert of Hyrule.

Wall Master: These enemies are similar to the Floor Masters of other Zelda games, except these enemies come down from the ceiling and snatch you with out you having much time to react. Once they grab you, they will bring you to the dungeon's entrance!

Water Beatle: These are insects which jump out of sewer holes of dungeons and swim through the water in random directions. They just need a tap with the sword to be killed!

White Skull: In the Dark World, the pots will appear as skulls. Some of these skulls will come alive and start attacking you if you aren't careful!
