'''Keese''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are bat-like creatures, usually black-skinned, that attack [[Link]] by flying toward him and subsequently coming bumping into him, which deals damage. Keese are nimble creatures that prove to be more of a nuisance than a feared enemy. They are most often found in caves and [[dungeon]]s, but they can sometimes be found in the [[overworld]] as well.

There are also many variations on Keese, such as the [[Fire Keese|Fire]] and [[Ice Keese|Ice]] versions. In the latest 3D ''The Legend of Zelda'' titles, even more variations have been shown, including the [[Shadow Keese|Twilit]], [[Thunder Keese|Thunder]], and [[Dark Keese|Dark]] variations.
There are also many variations on Keese, such as the [[Fire Keese|Fire]], [[Ice Keese|Ice]] and [[Thunder Keese|Thunder]]/[[Electric Keese|Electric]] variations.

Keese are found in every dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. In fact, some dungeons have rooms with nothing in them besides large numbers of Keese. Additionally, Keese appear once a [[Vire]] has been damaged, at which point it will split into two Keese. One method of attack against the Keese are simple [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|sword]] slashes, but that is not recommended as coming too close to them could result in contact, which will deal damage. The recommended method of attack is to use the [[Boomerang]] or [[Magical Boomerang]], which defeats them in one shot and doesn't require Link to come close to them.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Keese will remain dormant and leave Link alone until he moves close to it.{{Ref|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150722213853/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/k.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]|Keese prefer to peacefully hang from the ceiling in dark places, but they can quickly sneak up on anyone who doesn't keep a sharp ear out for the chilling sound of their flapping wings. They move constantly, which makes them very difficult to defeat.}} As Link approaches a Keese will start to fly around, with its only to attack being to fly right into Link. Keese do not take much damage and are easily defeated with a wide variety of weapons. The [[Fighter's Sword]] and [[Boomerang]] will defeat a Keese with just one hit. Keese first appear within the [[Secret Passage]] as Link is escorting [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] to the [[Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|Sanctuary]]. Beyond this early appearance, Keese mainly appear in the dark tunnels on [[Death Mountain]]. The [[Dark World]] counterpart to a Keese is a [[Chasupa]].

Keese are found in just about all dungeons within the game and are the basic enemies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. They can be defeated with a wide variety of weapons, but projectile weapons, including the [[Slingshot]], [[Boomerang]], [[Fairy Bow]], or the [[Hookshot]] work best. Every single weapon that Link has will defeat a Keese with a single shot, with the exception of [[Deku Nut]]s, which will only stun the enemies. In addition to regular Keese, Link will also encounter both [[Fire Keese]] and [[Ice Keese]].

''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'''s Keese are almost exactly the same as the ones in ''Ocarina of Time''. Following the trend, both Fire Keese and Ice Keese appear. They can be found in [[Beneath the Well|Ikana Well]], [[Stone Tower]], and the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. If Link wears the [[Stone Mask]], he is invisible to Keese, making it handy for avoiding large groups of them. In addition, ''Majora's Mask'' features [[Bad Bat]]s — large bat creatures similar to Keese that can be found pretty much everywhere and deal a bit more damage than their smaller counterparts.

Keese are found roaming the overworld at night or can be found in small caves. They are among the most common monsters in the game, and they will attempt to charge at you, while their eyes glows red. They have just 1 HP and tend to drop [[Keese Wing]]s and/or [[Keese Eyeball]]s. Sometimes they will attack in [[Keese Swarm]]s in open fields at night, but only normal Keese will flock in such a way.

All Keese are immune to the effects of [[Kilton]]'s monster masks, [[Majora's Mask#Breath of the Wild|Majora's Mask]] and other monster and Stal imitating effects from armor, so they're the most inconvenient monsters to encounter when wearing those, as their attacks alert other monsters of the ruse and blow Link's cover.
