==''The Adventure of Link''==
Orange Daira charge Link on sight swinging their axe continuously. Link must time his attack in between swings to avoid damage. The [[Reflect Spell]] will strengthen his shield enough to repel the monster's weapon.

====Red Daira====
===Orange Daira===
Red Dairas are more powerful than their orange counterparts. Instead of charging forward, they throw a limitless stream axes at [[Link]]. As with the Orange Daira, Link's shield cannot block the projectiles, except with the [[Reflect Spell]]. [[Downward Thrust]]s are recommended against these enemies. In order to defeat this formidable foe, Link must leap over the flying axes and quickly strike before another can be thrown. Recklessly charging without paying heed to the Daira's attacks is almost always fatal.

Daira wield large axes and will try to harm Zelda with them. There are two types of Daira, ones that are stationary, and others that run. The walking Daira are fairly simple enemies as they will walk straight towards Zelda, trying to smash her with their axe. You can defeat a Daira with a sword slash while standing straight up or while kneeling. Stationary Daira on the other hand stand in one spot instead of moving towards Zelda. Rather than swinging their axe, this Daira variant will toss the axe towards Zelda. Furthermore, if Zelda is at a higher level, the axe will be tossed in an upward direction. One way to defend against the axe throw is to stand still and block it with your shield. If you are quick enough to react, you can jump over the axe that is tossed your way.
 
Most walking Daira will leave behind a red ruby, while their stationary counterparts will leave behind a more valuable green ruby. Walking Daira will often show up in packs and are also regularly found together with [[Arpagos]]. There are an unlimited number of walking Daira and they will keep appearing on the screen. On the flipside, there are a set number of stationary ones in fixed locations of certain levels.
