Bot

Bots are slime enemies from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

Appearances

The Adventure of Link

Bots are common jelly-like enemies which can be found all across Hyrule. They are very similar to their cousins, the Bits. However, Bots color are blue, whereas Bits color are red. Unlike Bits, Bots also have the ability of jumping.

They are one of the weakest enemies in the whole game. They are very weak and are not hard to kill at all. There are three variations of Bots in this game.

Blue Bot

Blue bots can be found outdoors and in caves. Until Link get his first power upgrade, he will have to strike them twice with his sword to kill them. Link gains 2 experience points for defeating the Blue Bot.

Dark Blue Bot

Dark Blue Bot are Bots that reside in palaces. These Bots have slightly greater defense and slightly more attacking power than blue Bots. These Bots found in the Great Palace are much more powerful than the others. Link gains 10 experience points for defeating the Dark Blue Bot in the Great Palace and 2 experience points for the Dark Blue Bot in the other palaces.

Purple Bot

This pet Bot can be found in the Water Town of Saria. Link found this friendly Bot sleeping in Bagu's House. This Bot will tells Link its master (Bagu) location if Link wakes it up.

Non-canon Appearances

Link: The Faces of Evil

Bots are small blue creatures that are found in Lupay. They patrol small areas as they move in the same pattern. Much like the enemies Lowders, Bots can be incredibly annoying due to their small stature. In cases where they are lower than Link, they will be impossible to defeat. Furthermore, if one hits Link, because of the lack of recovery time, they can easily do multiple hearts of damage towards Link. Many times bots are in high trees patrolling isolated branches. In these cases they can be defeated from a distance using the sword beam attack. In most cases, if possible, it is best just to avoid confronting a bot.

Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon

Boon can be in area where there are plenty of trees especially in Hanyu Forest and Nokani Forest. They look like and act the same as the did in Link: The Faces of Evil.
