'''Tektites''' are common enemies found in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Their appearance is similar to that of a spider. Tektites jump around and attempt to land on [[Link]] in order to damage him. Tektites appear in many different locations, ranging from Mountains to Lakes.

These spider-like creatures hop around randomly 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 it will jump out of the way when Link try to attack them with his sword. They can be defeated by using the [[Sword]] or the [[Bow]] and arrows. Link also can stunned the Tektites with the [[Magical Boomerang]].  

Tektites come in two varieties in this game, red and blue. Blue Tektites hop around slowly across the screen and can be defeated with a single hit from the [[Wooden Sword]]. They also usually award [[rupee]]s after they are defeated. Red Tektites are the same as the Blue Tektikes, except they move much faster. They also can be defeated with a single hit from the [[Wooden Sword]].

===Adventure of Link===

Tektites in ''The Adventure of Link'' are considerably more difficult. In order to defeat them, Link must use the [[Fire Spell]] and attack them with fire balls, or use the [[Thunder Spell]]. They will jump above Link and try to fall on him to cause damage. They also spit rocks.

Tektites appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' in much the same way they do in ''Ocarina of Time''. The red Tektites inhabit mountain passes while the blue Tektites are found in water locations. Both the red and the blue variation of Tektites are in the [[Cave of Ordeals]]. Tektites have the ability to knock Link from [[Epona|his horse]].

Tektites have a much different appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest|Battle Quest]]''. They still have the characteristic four legs, one eye, and habit of jumping, but the method to defeat these enemies more closely resembles that of [[Sentrobe]]s. Swordsmen must use precision sword strikes to slash through the small openings their armored shells. Archers can simply strike the eye with one normal shot to defeat one. Like other enemies in ''Battle Quest'', a charged shot with the [[Hero's Bow]] can pierce through several Tektites if they're lined up behind each other.
