They hop around the screen causing two hearts of damage anytime they touch [[Link]]. Their jumps could take them over blocks and water making them even more dangerous. The easiest way to defeat this enemy is by shooting an [[Arrow]] at them with the [[Bow]]. Pols Voice can also be destroyed with ten sword slashes with the [[Wooden Sword]], but it is much faster to use the Bow. In the Japanese version of the game, Pols Voice could be defeated by shouting into the microphone that was built into the controllers of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System#Nintendo Famicom|Nintendo Famicom]]. | ||
Pols Voices are referred to as a "ghost" in the Game Manual of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'',{{Ref|name=LoZManual|pg. 36|A ghost with big ears and a weak point - he hates loud noise.|''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' Game Manual}} as well as in [http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/ The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia].{{Ref||Pol's Voices are mysterious ghosts found only in dungeons.|[http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/p.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]}} They can be found within two dungeons of the game: [[Level 5: The Lizard]] and [[Level 8: The Lion]]. In the Second Quest, they can be found in [[Level 2 (Second Quest)|Level 2]], [[Level 4 (Second Quest)|Level 4]], and [[Level 7 (Second Quest)|Level 7]]. | |||

The latest appearance of Pols Voice in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' Series]] is in ''Phantom Hourglass''. They look very much like the original concept art for the Pols Voice. There are only a few Pols Voices in this game. They are all found in the [[Temple of Courage]], and must be defeated to progress through the temple. The trick to attacking it is first to blow into the mic. The Pols Voice will cover up it's large ears, allowing Link to whack it with his [[Sword]]. After defeated, it will drop a [[Small Key]], and Link will be able to continue. | The latest appearance of Pols Voice in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' Series]] is in ''Phantom Hourglass''.

==Trivia== | |||
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' Game Manual, it is revealed that the [[Pols Voice]] are vulnerable to sound.{{Ref|name=LoZManual}} This vulnerability to sound only applies to the Japanese release of ''The Legend of Zelda'', due to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System#Nintendo Famicom|Famicom's]] integrated microphone in the controller, but the text remains in international releases. | |||
