The Beamos are a type of mechanical enemy in the form of a pillar, that appear throughout the game. They are usually used as a security system in dungeons and spin around controlling a certain, portion of territory. They shoot beams at Link if they spot him, and the only way to dispose of them in some games are Link's Arrows. Usually, their design suggest that they are ancient machines, but in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' Beamos look more futuristic than ever before.
'''Beamos''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]'', pg. 165}} They are mechanical statues that serve as a security system in dungeons, rotating and monitoring a certain portion of territory. They shoot beams at [[Link]] if they spot him.


==Appearances==
==''A Link to the Past''==
===A Link to the Past===
The Beamos makes its debut appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. In this game, they are indestructible, stationary totem pole-like enemies that constantly spin around, gazing around the room. If its eye sees [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]], it will fire a beam, dealing one [[Recovery Heart|heart]] of damage. The only two ways to defend against this beam is to either use the [[Mirror Shield]] or hide behind a structure like a wall or jar.


Beamos made their first appearance in 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 heart damage. The only two ways to defend against this impenetrable enemy is to either use the mirror shield, or hide behind a pot.
==''Link's Awakening''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', the Beamos look different, but act the same as those from ''A Link to the Past''.


===Link's Awakening===
==''Ocarina of Time''==
In this game, Beamos look differently, but act the same as those from [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]].
{{Float|left|{{Navi}}}}
Beamos are not extremely common in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', but a few places they can be found are the [[Bottom of the Well]], [[Shadow Temple]], [[Dodongo's Cavern]], [[Gerudo Training Ground]], [[Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Spirit Temple]], and [[Ganon's Castle|Inside Ganon's Castle]]. They do not pose much of a threat, as their only attack is to shoot a laser from its eye towards [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]]. To defeat them, blow them up with either a [[Bomb]], a [[Bomb Flower]], or a [[Bombchu]]. Their first appearance is in the second dungeon of the game, Dodongo's Cavern.

===Ocarina of Time===
==''Majora's Mask''==
{{Float|left|{{Tatl}}}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Beamos are found only in the [[Stone Tower]] area, including [[Stone Tower Temple]] itself. They haven't changed from ''Ocarina of Time'', and, just like the previous game, they fire a beam at [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] if he gets spotted by its eye while in the Beamos' territory. The only way to defeat them is to throw a [[Bomb]], use a [[Bombchu]], or use the [[Blast Mask]] near them.
{{clear|left}}


{{Navi|"Beamos...''<br>''
==''Oracle of Seasons'' & ''Oracle of Ages''==
Watch out for its searching beam! I bet it doesn't like smoke to get in its eye!" - [[Navi]]}}
Beamos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' act very similar to the Beamos in ''Link's Awakening''.


==''The Wind Waker''==
The Beamos has multiple different looks in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''.


These almost statue like enemies are not at many places in the game, but the few places they can be found are Within The Well, the [[Shadow Temple]], [[Dodongo's Cavern]], the [[Gerudo's Training Grounds]], 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.
===Blue Beamos===
Blue Beamos are statue-like creatures that remain stationary. The eye at the top of their main 'body' will stay in one spot. [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] can defeat them with the [[Skull Hammer]], a [[Bomb]], or an arrow, but they are only vulnerable when they are attacking Link as well.


===Majora's Mask===
===Red Beamos===
Red Beamos are statue-like creatures that remain stationary. The eye at the top of their main 'body' rotates around, unlike the Blue Beamos, which remains stationary. If it sees Link, it will try and attack him with its laser. Link can defeat them with the Skull Hammer, a bomb, or an arrow, but they are only vulnerable when they are attacking Link as well.


Found only in the [[Stone Tower]] area, including [[Stone Tower Temple]] itself. They haven't changed from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and will just like the previous game fire a beam at Link if he gets spotted by it's eye while in the Beamos's territory. The best and only ways to kill them is with bombs, bombchu's or the [[Blast Mask]].
==''Four Swords Adventures''==
Beamos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'' are almost identical to the Beamos in ''A Link to the Past''.


===Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons===
==''Twilight Princess''==
Beamos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' are very different from Beamos from past 3D ''Zelda'' games. They can only be defeated by striking its eye with [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link's]] [[Hero's Bow]]. They come in two varieties; Brown and White.


===The Wind Waker===
===Brown Beamos===
Mostly found in the [[Goron Mines]] and other smaller caves, including 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]]. After being defeated, Link can drag them on a set path to cover switches or get to treasure chests.


====Blue Beamos====
===White Beamos===
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]].


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 you can stand near them to activate the eye without having to worry about getting hit. You can defeat them with a skull hammer, a bomb, or an arrow, but they are only vulnearble when they're attacking you as well.
==''Phantom Hourglass''==
Beamos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' are indestructible, continuously rotating beam turrets that only shoot at [[Link (The Wind Waker)#Phantom Hourglass|Link]] when he is in its line of sight. The beam itself comes out of the green, yellow, and white thing on the front. Link can shoot an arrow at the source of the beam, stunning it temporarily. They are found in the [[Goron Temple]].


====Red Beamos====
==''Skyward Sword''==
{{Fi}}
Beamos are multi-layered, totem pole-like objects found within the [[Lanayru Mining Facility]] and [[Sandship]] made up of two to three different electrified parts. The head of the Beamos turns in a mechanical way, as opposed to a fluent turning motion. These enemies can be defeated by horizontally slicing apart different sections of their body, and then stabbing the eye. Alternatively, [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] can simply shoot an arrow into its eye with his Bow. The Beamos will shoot out a laser beam from its eye dealing electrical damage and temporarily paralyzing Link, but this attack can be deflected using a non-metal shield, like the [[Wooden Shield|Wooden]], [[Sacred Shield|Sacred]], or [[Hylian Shield]].

===''Hyrule Warriors''===
Beamos can be found in many stages in ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]''. They act as they do in other games they have appeared in, shooting a laser at Link when he is spotted. They can be destroyed by throwing bombs at them.

===Twilight Princess===
==Trivia==
* Beamos may be classified as the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|series']] "turrets" as they are stationary and only turn to attack. Reference to this can be found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess's]]'' game guide's walkthrough when it refers to the Beamos as 'turrets'.
