Tektite: Difference between revisions

Tektites make their debut in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. They are spiderlike creatures that jump around randomly{{Ref|name=Quote1}} in the overworld and/or attempt to jump into Link. Tektites are common on [[Death Mountain]] and in areas of the eastern coastline. Tektites can be difficult to defeat because they jump out of the way when Link tries to attack them with his [[sword]]. They can be defeated by using the [[Sword]], bombs, wand,[[Bow]] and [[Arrow]], or candle. Link also can stun the Tektites with the [[Magical Boomerang]].  

Tektites come in two varieties in this game, red and blue. The red Tektites jump around more than the blue ones,{{Ref|pg. 29|Red [Tektites] move about a lot and blue ones move only a little.|''[[The Legend of Zelda]] Game Manual''}} However, they both have little attacking power,{{Ref|pg. 29|Tektites have little fighting power.|''[[The Legend of Zelda]] Game Manual''}} and can be defeated with a single hit from the original [[Sword]]. Once defeated Tektites commonly drop [[Rupee]]s and [[Clock]]s.

Tektites are common in the [[Tal Tal Mountain Range]] and Northern [[Koholint Island]]. Their appearance in this game looks generally square compared to other versions of Tektites. When they are on the ground, they will usually remain still for a few seconds before jumping again. While they aren't moving, Link can either shoot them with an arrow from a distance, or quickly walk up and slice at them with his sword. [[Water Tektite]]s also appear often in water areas, such as [[Catfish's Maw]].

The red variation is found on [[Death Mountain]]. Their only attack is to jump at Link. To defeat them, Link can use the [[Megaton Hammer]] to make a shockwave and flip them over, and the [[Hookshot]] and [[Longshot]] have the ability to stun them. This makes it easier for Link to attack with his sword.

Blue Tektites are found in the [[Great Bay]] region, and like the blue Tektites in ''Ocarina of Time'', they can also float on water. They can also be found in the [[Snowhead]] region where they can pop up from underneath the ground or are concealed in snowballs.

In ''Oracle'' series, Tektites come in orange and blue variations. Blue Tektites are just like their counterparts, the Orange Tektites. The only different is Blue Tektites have better defense. To defeat these enemies evade their jump and allow them to land and then run up for a quick strike. It is sometimes hard to land in both strikes without another Tektite hitting Link, as they tend to be in groups of both blue and orange tektites.

Like in previous games, Tektites jump around randomly and their only attack is simply jumping into Link. Use the [[Boomerang]] to stun them or simply try to strike them with Link's sword. Tektites come in three variations in this game; red, blue and gold. Red Tektites move around slowly and weaker. Blue Tektites move much faster and require more strikes to defeat. Red and Blue Tektikes appear in [[Mt. Crenel]].

The third variety, the [[Golden Tektike]] is much stronger, much quicker, and jumps higher than other tektites. It can only be found by fusing [[Kinstone]]s. Link will be rewarded with a 100 Rupees after defeating this golden Tektite.
