Peahat: Difference between revisions

Peahats can be found throughout the overworld in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. These enemies spin around and move rapidly around the screen. While spinning, Peahats cannot be harmed and should be avoided if possible. After spinning for a short while, a Peahat comes to a stop, at which point it is vulnerable to [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|sword]] attacks from [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)Link]].{{Ref|[[:File:The-Legend-of-Zelda-North-American-Instruction-Manual-Page-29.jpg|''The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet'' (US NES Version), pg. 29]]|Has little attacking power.

[[File:Peahat-Oracle-Sprite.png|left|60px]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', Peahats appear in dungeons such as [[Angler's Tunnel]] and [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]]. They begin by laying still on the ground, but when Link approaches them they begin to spin and lift into the air. Just like in ''The Legend of Zelda'', the Peahats will eventually come to a stop, allowing [[Link (A Link to the Past)#Link's Awakening|Link]] to attack them.

Peahats in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' are stationary around [[Hyrule Field]]. When [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] approaches one, it wakes up, and flies toward him, showing its roots. These roots are their weak points. Link can either slash it with the [[Kokiri Sword]] or simply shoot it with the [[Slingshot]]. If Link wanders Hyrule Field at night, the Peahats do not wake up; however, if he slashes at one, it shoots out [[Peahat Larva]], which can be destroyed just by holding out Link's shield.

Peahats in ''Oracle of Ages'' can be found in many locations. When [[Link (Oracle Series)|Link]] enters the screen, they are stationary, but then start spinning and flying. Link must wait until they stop moving, as they can only be damaged when they are not. It takes two strikes to defeat them with either the Wooden or Noble Sword. One strike defeats them from Master Sword.

[[File:Peahat Figurine (TWW).png|125px|right]]Peahats are first encountered in the [[Forbidden Woods]] in ''The Wind Waker''. [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] must stun them with the [[Deku Leaf]] first, then damage them with his sword. Once more items like the [[Boomerang]] or [[Bow]] are obtained, Link can use those to defeat the Peahats more easily. Peahats drop [[Golden Feather]]s when defeated or attacked with the [[Grappling Hook]].

There are two different varieties of Peahats found within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. The red ones are first encountered in the [[Eastern Hills]] and they share similar attributes to previous incarnations of the enemy. The green Peahats fly out of reach while carrying bombs. When they attempt to drop the bomb on [[Link (The Minish Cap)|Link]], the Peahat lowers itself to the ground temporarily. Once the Peahat lowers itself, it can be defeated by using the [[Gust Jar]] or the Bow. If Link uses arrows, the Peahat can be defeated with one arrow. If Link uses the Gust Jar, he can disable it, making it vulnerable to sword attacks, or he can suck the Peahat in and launch it, destroying it on impact.

Peahats in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' act differently than other incarnations of Peahat. In this game, Peahats do not harm [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]], but instead are used as [[Clawshot]] targets. Peahats only appear in the [[Gerudo Desert]] and the seventh dungeon of the game, the [[City in the Sky]].
