'''Pairodds''' are enemies that have only appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''.

Pairodds are stocky bird-like enemies, having sharp bills, that can be found only in [[Key Cavern]] and [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]].{{Ref|Pairodd|Native to Koholint Island, Pairodds are stocky bird-like creatures with sharp bills. They use a magical power to teleport themselves from one place to another, which makes them excellent hunters.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150722213853/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/p.jsp#Pairodd The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]}} Usually, they appear in twos.{{Ref|pg. 99|They usually appear in pairs.|''[[Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide]]''}} These enemies can teleport themselves from one place to another when Link comes close to them.{{Ref|pg. 44|Although Link has plenty of power to bump them off with his Sword, these odd birds usually vanish before you can get to them.|''Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide''}} When they stop, they will fire star-like Projectiles at him. This star-like Projectile can be hard to avoid and does a whole heart of damage, so Pairodds can be very tricky enemies.  

Once Link knows where they teleport to, he can quickly run or jump to that spot and be ready to attack before they can escape. He also can attack them from a distance when using a long-ranged weapon such as the [[Bow]] or [[Magic Rod]]. With the [[Pegasus Boots]], Link can dash towards them, destroying them quickly.
