Beamos: Difference between revisions

The Beamos made its debut appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. In this game they were indestructible, stationary totem pole-like enemies that would constantly spin around, gazing around the room. If its eye saw Link then the eye would fire a beam, dealing one [[Recovery Heart|heart]] damage. The only two ways to defend against this impenetrable enemy is to either use the [[Mirror Shield]], or hide behind a structure like a wall or pot.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', the Beamos look different, but they act the same as those from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''.

These almost statue-like enemies are not extremely common in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', but a few places they can be found are [[Bottom of the Well]], the [[Shadow Temple]], [[Dodongo's Cavern]], the [[Gerudo Training Ground]], the [[Spirit Temple]], and [[Ganon's Castle]]. They do not pose much of a threat and their only attack is to shoot a laser from its eye towards Link. To defeat them blow them up with either a bomb, a [[Bomb Flower]], or a [[Bombchu]]. They first appearance is in the second dungeon of the game, the Dodongo's Cavern.

Blue Beamos are statue-like creatures that remain stationary. The eye at the top of their main 'body' will stay in one spot, unlike the Red Beamos, which rotates. This makes them easier to kill, since Link can stand near them to activate the eye without having to worry about getting hit. He can defeat them with the [[Skull Hammer]], a bomb, or an arrow, but they are only vulnearble when they're attacking Link as well.

Beamos seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', are almost identical to Beamos in ''A Link to the Past''.

Beamoses appear again in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', and are very different from past 3D Zelda Beamoses from the past. They can only be defeated by striking its eye with Link's [[Hero's Bow]]. They come in two variates; Brown and White.

Mostly found in the [[Goron Mines]] and other smaller caves, inclduing the [[Lake Hylia Cavern]] and [[Bridge of Eldin Cavern]], this Beamos shoots fire beams at Link. They can be defeated by shooting an arrow into their eye with the Hero's Bow, which is found in the Goron Mines. After being killed, Link can drag them on a set path to cover switches or get to [[Treasure Chest|chests]].

Located exclusively in the [[Temple of Time (Dungeon)|Temple of Time]], the White Beamos shoot beams at Link. They can be defeated by shooting an arrow at its eye, or by being smashed by the [[Ancient Statue]] Link controls with the [[Dominion Rod]]. Because the Temple of Time is in a past state, the change of color of the Beamos could refer that overtime Beamoses lost their white color and became darker.

Beamos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' are indestructible continuously rotating beam turrets that only shoot at Link when he is in its line of sight. The beam itself comes out of the green, yellow, and white thing on the front. They are found in the [[Goron Temple]].

Beamos can be found on many stages in [[Hyrule Warriors]]. The beamos in Hyrule Warriors act as they do in other games they have appeared in, shooting a laser at the player when they are spotted. They can be destroyed by throwing bombs at them.
