Beetles are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] They are small bugs that are found crawling out of holes in certain games.

Link's Awakening

In Link's Awakening, Beetles are found crawling out of holes in Ukuku Prairie. They only appear on one screen, south of Kanalet Castle. They appear from a hole in the ground when Link gets close. They are very easy enemies to handle, and can be defeated with a single sword swipe. They will endlessly continue appearing from the hole until you leave this screen.

Oracle of Seasons & Oracle of Ages

In the Oracle games, Beetles appear when Link digs a hole using the Shovel. However, they do little damage to Link.

In Oracle of Seasons, the mini-boss of Snake's Remains, Facade, will cause Beetles to fall from the ceiling, which damage Link if he touches one. One attack with a sword is enough to do away with them.

The Minish Cap

Main article: Black Beetle,
Main article: Red Beetle

There are two different variants of Beetles found in The Minish Cap, including Black Beetle and the more uncommon Red Beetle. These pesky insects will attach themselves to Link, causing him to be unable to use his sword, and slowing him down until he shakes them off. They will not deal any actual damage to Link and can be defeated with a single sword slash. The Red Beetles will appear in the boss battle with Mazaal in the Fortress of Winds.

Echoes of Wisdom

In Echoes of Wisdom, Beetles are found in caves and sandy areas, such as those in the Gerudo Desert. They are often found in large groups with several Beetles appearing together in a pack. Beetles usually come from a Beetle Mound, which will endlessly create them until it is destroyed.

After a Beetle is defeated, Zelda can use the Shimmer to learn the Beetle Echo, which will allow her to create a Beetle at will.
