'''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. 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 recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].

In fact, some dungeons have rooms with nothing in them besides large numbers of Keese. Additionally, Keese appear once a [[Vire]] has been significantly damaged, at which point it will split into two Keese. One method of attack against the Keese are simple [[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 kills them in one shot and doesn't require Link to come close to them. | ||

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.

Keese first appear within the [[Secret Passage]] as Link is escorting [[Princess Zelda]] to the [[Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|Sanctuary]].

Just like their role in other ''The Legend of 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#Shield Attack|Shield Attack]] on a Keese, it will fall to the ground and be vulnerable. The [[Spin Attack]] is a great method of attack against larger groups. Additionally, Link can also use projectiles weapons to kill Keese. The [[Hero's Bow]], [[Slingshot]], and [[Clawshot]] are all very useful against single Keese, but are not recommended to be used against groups. | ||

Fire Keese are exactly like normal Keese, the only difference being they are engulfed in fire constantly. Because of this, if one comes in contact with [[Link]] while he is using the [[Ordon Shield|ordon]] or [[Wooden Shield]], it will burn up due to their wooden material. However, they will have no effect on the [[Hylian Shield]], so it is recommended to have that shield equipped when travelling to fire-based areas that may contain Fire Keese. Projectiles weapons are most effective against Fire Keese as they prevent Link from having to come close to them. | ||

Ice Keese are the third variation of Keese found in ''Twilight Princess''. Similarly to a Fire Keese, the only thing that differenciates these guys and normal Keese is the fact that Ice Keese are engulfed in frost. Because of this, they are mostly found in cold areas, like the [[Snowpeak]] mountain range. They are easily one of the most annoying enemies in the game because they freeze Link upon contact, dealing a quarter heart of damage for every second Link is frozen. They can be pretty difficult 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 [[Gale Boomerang]], making them significantly easier to defeat. | Ice Keese are the third variation of Keese found in ''Twilight Princess''.
