Appearances
The Adventure of Link
Boon are fly-like enemies that are only found desert areas of Eastern Hyrule. They are commonly found in grassy areas near the Town of Nabooru, within the swamps in southeastern Hyrule, and on Maze Island.
They will fly around the screen very quickly, occasionally dropping rocks down on Link[1]. They can be quite difficult to defeat because of their speed, but using the Upward Thrust is the best tactic to fighting them off.
Boon are usually found alongside Tektites and Zora, but unlike these two creatures the Fire Spell is not needed in order to defeat them. Link gains 50 experience points for defeating this enemy.

[Insert information]
Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon
Boon are bee-like enemies that fly around the desert areas of Ahitaru. They come swooping towards Zelda, simply trying to fly right into her. While they do come at various angles, their somewhat large size makes them fairly easy targets for Zelda's sword. A single sword slash will defeat them. Zelda must be careful though, as wherever she see a single Boon, many more are soon to follow. So Zelda must try to defeat them before they can gang up on her. Boon will also leave behind a single red ruby as a spoil once they have been defeated.
Trivia
- A similar enemy known as a Pesto can be found in The Minish Cap while Link in Minish size.
