They are expert axe-throwers, and their axes are so sharp that they are able to slice through most Hyrulean Shields.}} They can be found in [[Western Hyrule]]. Dairas come in two variations.

Orange Daira charge Link on sight swinging their axe continuously. Link must time his attack in between swings to avoid damage. The [[Reflect Spell]] will strengthen his shield enough to repel the monster's weapon.

====Red Daira====

Red Dairas are more powerful than their orange counterparts. Instead of charging forward, they throw a limitless stream axes at [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)#The Adventure of Link|Link]]. As with the Orange Daira, Link's shield cannot block the projectiles, except with the [[Reflect Spell]]. [[Down Thrust|Downward Thrust]]s are recommended against these enemies. In order to defeat this formidable foe, Link must leap over the flying axes and quickly strike before another can be thrown. Recklessly charging without paying heed to the Daira's attacks is almost always fatal.
