Deeler: Difference between revisions

The '''Deeler''' is a spider-like enemy that found in the forests of  ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''. They live in the branches of trees and descend on a silky thread to attack their prey.{{Ref|[http://www.zeldadungeon.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album{{=}}328&pid{{=}}9760#top_display_media Nintendo Power Magazines - Issue 004], pg. 22|Like a giant spider, the Deeler drops on a thread from trees.}}{{Ref|[http://zelda.com/universe/pedia/d.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]|Deelers are poisonous spiders who inhabited the wooded areas of Hyrule. They commonly drop down on victims from thin silk strands because they are too impatient to wait in their webs. Deelers do not posses any of the magical power found in [[Gold Skulltula]]s.}} There are two variations of Deeler and each varies by strength depending on whether encountered in [[Western Hyrule]] or [[Eastern Hyrule (The Adventure of Link)|Eastern Hyrule]]. Link's best option for dealing with these arachnids is side-stepping them as they descend and stabbing with a few well-timed sword slashes or meeting them in the air with an [[Upward Thrust]].

Blue Deelers act in a similar manner to the Red Deelers. They will also let go of their thread after getting close enough to the ground and drop down to the forest floor.{{Ref|[http://www.zeldadungeon.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album{{=}}256&pid{{=}}11469#top_display_media The Adventure of Link manual] (US Version), pg. 28|Deeler moves up and down by a string suspended from a tree. Blue deelers drop down to the ground to attack Link.}} On the ground, they will jump to attack their victims. Blue Deelers are easiest to kill as they momentarily pause on the ground between jumps.
