Shell Blade

Shell Blades are seashell-shaped enemies that appear in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess. They are found in water environments.

Appearances

Ocarina of Time

		Shell Blade Its internal muscle is its weak point!

In Ocarina of Time, Shell Blades are mostly found in the Water Temple, although there are a few in a water-filled room of the Gerudo Training Ground. They can be killed with any ranged weapon, such as the Hookshot, while underwater. Din's Fire will also kill them in one hit. Shell Blades attack by briefly opening their mouths, revealed their only weak spot, before closing them shut and turning towards Link, ramming into him with the spikes on their back.

Majora's Mask

		Don't tell me you don't know about the Shell Blade! It's impossible to beat it if you aim for anything but its ligament inside the shell.

Shell Blades are also found in Majora's Mask, though their behavior and appearance is identical to that in Ocarina of Time. They can be found in the Pirates' Fortress, guarding some of the Zora Eggs in tanks. Once again, the Hookshot is one of the best ways to deal with them, although while wearing the Zora Mask, Link can instead summon an electrical current to kill them. His sharpened fins will also kill the Shell Blades while in Zora form.

Twilight Princess

The Shell Blades in Twilight Princess only appear in the Lakebed Temple. They are very similar to their previous incarnations, with their mouth still being their weak point. Link can kill them with his sword while underwater, or with the Clawshot.
