Keese: Difference between revisions

'''Keese''' are recurring enemies in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are bats, usually black-skinned, that attack [[Link]] by flying toward him. 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.

Keese are featured in every dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. In fact, some dungeons have rooms with nothing in them besides large numbers of Keese. When a [[Vire]] is signifantly damaged, it will split into two Keese.

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. 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 [[Princess Zelda]] to the [[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]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|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). If Link uses the [[Hidden Skills|Hidden Skill]] 'Shield Attack', a Keese will fall to the ground and be vulnerable.

There are four variations of Keese found within Twilight Princes: Normal, Fire, Ice, and Shadow.

[[Fire Keese]] are usually found in fire type areas, such as the [[Goron Mines]]. They are also in the [[Cave of Ordeals]]. If a Fire Keese touches [[Link]] while he is wearing the [[Ordon Shield]] or the [[Wooden Shield]], it will burn up; however, they will have no effect on the [[Hylian Shield]].

[[Ice Keese]] are found in [[Snowpeak]], the [[Snowpeak Ruins]] or the [[Cave of Ordeals]]. They are easily one of the most annoying enemies in the game because they freeze you upn contact. They can be pretty difficult if in large groups. If they are, it is a bit easier handling them with Wolf Link, because he is so much faster. Link can stun them with the [[Boomerang|Gale Boomerang]], making them significantly easier to defeat.

Shadow Keese are found in the [[Twilight]], naturally, and they act the exact same as normal Keese, only their appearance has changed.
