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 in this game: orange and red.

Orange Daira do not throw their axes, but they only hack their axe continuously as their opponent draws near. They are particularly powerful, and should be fought with caution. It is best to do several hit and run tactics on the Orange Daira to avoid getting hurt.

Red Dairas are more powerful than Orange Dairas. They can throw their axes at [[Link]] and it causes twice as much damage as the Daira itself. Link's shield cannot block their axe throws, and he can only block it with the [[Reflect Spell]]. [[Downward Thrust]]s are recommended against these enemies. Red Dairas probably the most powerful overworld enemy in all of Western Hyrule. So, fight it with caution.
