Spiked Beetles are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.

Link's Awakening

These beetles have four spikes protecting the top of their bodies. They will move around the room slowly and dart towards Link if he is nearby. Be sure to have the shield equipped when fighting Spiked Beetles. Hold out the shield and let them run at Link. When they hit the shield, they will bounce back and flip upside-down. Once flipped, they are easily defeated with a few sword swipes.

Oracle of Seasons & Oracle of Ages

In these games, Spiked Beetles can be flipped over and then defeated by using Link's shield, the shovel, or Gale Seeds.

Four Swords

Spiked Beetles cannot be harmed initially with Link's sword. Instead, Link will first need to use his Shield to flip them over and then can defeat them with two sword slashes.

The Minish Cap

Spiked Beetles can be defeated using the shield again in this game, but also with the Cane of Pacci.
