Tektite: Difference between revisions

'''Tektites''' are common enemies found in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Their appearance is very similar to that of a spider.{{Ref|name=Quote1|pg. 29|{{Color|Red|Tektite}}<br/>These spidery things jump about all over the place.|[[The Legend of Zelda Instruction Manual|''The Legend of Zelda'' Instruction Booklet]]}} Tektites jump around quite a bit,{{Ref|name=Quote1}} and deal damage if they come in contact with [[Link]]. Tektites generally appear in the Overworld, but in recent titles, such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', they have appeared in dungeons as well. They have appeared in every game in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series except for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.

Tektites make their debut appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. They are spider-like creatures that jump around randomly{{Ref|name=Quote1}} in the Overworld and 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 the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|Sword]]. They can be defeated by using the Sword, [[Bomb]]s, [[Magical Rod]], [[Bow]], [[Arrow]], and [[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'' Instruction Booklet}} However, they both have little attacking power,{{Ref|pg. 29|Tektites have little fighting power.|''The Legend of Zelda'' Instruction Booklet}} and can be defeated with a single hit from the original Sword. Once defeated, Tektites commonly drop [[Rupee]]s and [[Clock]]s.
