If you have played this game you will be very familiar with these enemies, as Keese are featured in every dungeon in the game. In fact, some dungeons have rooms with nothing in them besides large numbers of Keese.

In this game, until Link moves close to a Keese, it will remain dormant and just leave Link alone. Keese mainly appear in the dark tunnels on Death Mountain.

===Ocarina of Time===
==Ocarina of Time==
Keese are found mostly in dungeons. In this game, they can be killed with a variety of weapons, but the two most often recommended is the Fairy Bow (as it can kill multiple Keese if they are lined up correctly) or the Hookshot (in case one is running low on arrows, etc). If there is a source of fire in the area, a Keese may fly through it to turn itself into a Fire Keese. If an immolated Keese touches Link, he will be set on fire, and if he has a Deku Shield equipped, it will burn up. There are also Ice Keese, which are surrounded by Blue Fire found in icy areas, which will freeze Link for a short time.

There are 3 different varieties of Keese: Normal, Fire, ad Ice.


===Majora’s Mask===
===Fire Keese===
{{Main|Fire Keese}}
If a Keese has contact with flame, it will encase it's outer body with fire, thus making it a [[Fire Keese]]. If Link has his [[Deku Shield]] equipped, and tries to defend against the Fire Keese, it will burn up. Fire Keese are commonly found throughout [[Dodongo's Cavern]] and the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]], but have also been seen in places like the [[Spirit Temple]].
 
===Ice Keese===
{{Main|Ice Keese}}
If a Keese flies through [[Blue Fire]], it will encase its body in ice, thus making it [[Ice Keese]]. These bats are a bit more annoying than [[Fire Keese]], as well as more scarce. If [[Link]] comes in contact with an Ice Keese, it will freeze his body, slowly draining hearts. Link can easily defend against it with his shield, however, making them significantly easier.
 
==Majora’s Mask==


Majora’s Mask’s Keese are almost exactly the same as its predecessor, Ocarina of Time’s. Following the trend, both Fire Keese and Ice Keese appear. They can be found in Ikana Well, the Stone Tower, and the Stone Tower Temple.

Line 33: Line 41:
In addition, Majora’s Mask features Bad Bats – pretty much big bat creatures that can be found pretty much everywhere and deal a bit more damage than their smaller counterparts.

===Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons===
==Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons==


The Keese in Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are similar to the ones found in Link's Awakening. This is due to the fact that Flagship used certain data from Link's Awakening when programming these games. They do, however, move more erratically than those found in Link's Awakening. Fire Keese also appear in both Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. Big Keese sometimes accompany the Blue Stalfos located in the Ancient Tomb.

[[File:WW Keese.png|100px|thumb|right|Fire and Normal Keese from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'']] In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' there are three variations of Keese. Normal Keese and fire or ice Keese. Normal Keese are just another enemy and can be killed with most any weapon. Fire and Ice Keese, however, are dangerous to touch and could possibly freeze or set [[Link]] on fire.

===Twilight Princess===

In Twilight Princess, Keese are mostly found in dark places – caves, dungeons, or generally any place where the lantern is needed, and the Cave of Ordeals. Just like their role in other Zelda titles, Keese are more annoying than any actual danger (the exception being large groups of them, of course).  Fire Keese – who will burn Link’s shield if he has the Ordon Shield or the Wooden Shield equipped -  and Ice Keese – who will freeze Link, if contact is made - are also featured.  If Link uses the Hidden Skill ‘Shield Attack’, a Keese will fall to the ground and be vulnerable.

Keese appear as a relatively simple enemy. They are found in almost every cave, and are easily defeated with a hit from any weapon. Their design is similar to the Keese in The Wind Waker.

Fire and Ice Keese appear as well, burning and freezing you upon contact. Because of this, they can't be defeated with the sword.

===Spirit Tracks===
==Spirit Tracks==


Keese return in Spirit Tracks, functioning the same way as in Phantom Hourglass. Fire and Ice Keese appear as well. If you use your [[Whirlwind]] on a fire or ice Keese, they will lose their ice or flame. Most fire or ice Keese are near a source of whatever element they are, and if they fly back into that element they will gain their coat again.

Keese reside in the overworld and within dungeons. When they swoop low enough to be within reach, Link can use a sword slash to defeat them, though Keese can be defeated with almost weapon in the player’s arsenal. For example, Link can defeat multiple Keese at once with a single crack of the whip.

Following the game’s art style, Keese have a somewhat cartoonish and very colorful appearance. As with the most games, variations of regular Keese also appear.

Fire Keese can be found around [[Eldin Volcano]]. They can still be defeated with the sword, but if they touch Link he will catch on fire.

This new variation of Keese, named [[Thunder Keese]], resides in the [[Lanayru Mining Facility]]. They are yellow in appearance, and, like many enemies there, surround themselves with electricity when attacking. Wait until the sparking stops to strike.
