Leever: Difference between revisions

'''Leevers''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are sand-based enemies, and thus are usually found in deserts, like the [[Desert Colossus]] and the [[Gerudo Desert]]. However, they can also be found in [[Hyrule Field]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', Leevers can be found in many places across the Overworld, but can most often be found near the coastline or in sandy areas. Leevers, like most enemies, come in two different colors, Red and Blue.  

To attack, a Leever pops out of the ground, often directly under Link, and moves towards him to contact him. Red Leevers pop out of the ground in front of Link and move towards him until they reach the edge of the screen. They then disappear back into the ground and pop out in front of Link again a second later. Blue Leevers appear randomly on the screen and remain above ground for a few seconds, then hide underground for another few seconds before re-emerging. Red Leevers only take two hits to defeat while Blue Leevers take four hits to defeat.

Leevers only appear in the deserts of [[Eastern Hyrule (The Adventure of Link)|Eastern Hyrule]]. Like in ''The Legend of Zelda'', Leevers burrow underground and emerge to attack. A few sword slashes while squatting or a [[Downward Thrust]] eliminate them in short order.

[[File:Leever-Green-1.png|left]]Leevers first appear within the [[Desert Palace (A Link to the Past)|Desert Palace]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. Several Green Leevers can be found in the sand-filled area as soon as Link enters the dungeon. These creatures pop up from underground and spin toward Link. After a period of time, the Leevers then burrow underground, before then coming back up at another location closer to Link.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', Leevers appear on [[Toronbo Shores]] and [[Yarna Desert]]. Similar to in ''The Legend of Zelda'', they pop out of the ground randomly and move toward [[Link]].

Red Leevers pop out from under the ground at random locations on the screen. They usually appear above ground for a few seconds before returning underground and popping up elsewhere. Be careful as they usually appear with other enemies. They only travel in straight directions and try to bump into you. Just move out of the way and slash them a couple of times to defeat these enemies.   

Just like the red leevers these guys pop out from under the ground, but with a twist of coming out of the water too. Not only that, but instead of traveling in a straight direction they can move left and right and up and down at will. Be careful when moving around because these guys usually pop up around places where you're bound to go. Just run up and place a couple swift slashes.   

In ''The Minish Cap'', Leevers can be found in the [[Wind Ruins]] and [[Veil Falls]]. They come in two varieties, red and blue. They are easily defeated with sword strikes.

In ''Twilight Princess'', Leevers are small, green monsters that pop out of the ground in packs. They attack by ramming into Link simultaneously. Leevers can be defeated by running over them while on horseback, or shooting them with a long-range weapon. It is also quite effective to perform a [[Spin Attack]] when a group closes in on Link. They are fairly simple enemies, and act more as an obstacle rather than a threat. This is the most recent appearance of Leever in the series.

Leevers are first found in the [[Hyrule Field]] of the [[Eldin Province]] after Link has completed the [[Goron Mines]]. Additionally, they are later found in the [[Gerudo Desert]] and the gigantic fifty-floor dungeon, the [[Cave of Ordeals]].
