Pols Voice
Appearances
The Legend of Zelda
In the original Legend of Zelda these enemies were quite dangerous. They would hop around the screen causing a large amount of damage anytime they touched Link. They're jumps could take them over blocks and water making them even more dangerous.
Link's Awakening
They hop around the screen trying to attack Link by bashing into him. Unlike most enemies, the Pols Voice is invulnerable to your sword. The easiest way to defeat a Pols Voice is to play your ocarina near them. Playing Ballad your Ocarina will instantly kill any Pols Voice on the screen. If you don't have the ocarina yet, they can be killed by shooting an arrow or throw something at them, such as a nearby pot or rock. Though your sword does not harm it, it will push the Pols Voice back allowing you a bit of time to grab something to throw at it. Bombs will also harm the Pols Voice, but it may be hard to time your hits using them.
Oracle of Seasons
Oracle of Ages
Phantom Hourglass
The latest appearance of Pols Voice in the Zelda Series is in Phantom Hourglass. They look very much like the original concept art for the Pols Voice. There are only a few Pols Voices in this game. They are all found in the Temple of Courage, and must be defeated to progress through the temple. The trick to attacking it is first to blow into the mic. The Pols Voice will cover up it's large ears, allowing Link to whack it with his Sword. After defeated, it will drop a Small Key, and Link will be able to continue.
