One of the many Vires is a servant to both [[Onox]] and [[Veran]], and attempts to hinder [[Link (Oracle Series)|Link]]'s progress in both games. It is encountered in both the [[Ancient Ruins]] and [[Mermaid's Cave]] as a mini-boss, and shoots multi-colored fireballs at Link while flying all over the room. Although sword strikes are efficient in dealing damage, the best way to attack is with well-timed bomb throws. After defeating Vire, it realizes that it underestimated Link and leaves. If you win the fight in a [[Linked Game]], Vire will be surprised that it was defeated twice, and apologizes to his masters before leaving. In a Linked Seasons game, Vire is encountered after the [[Poison Moth's Lair]], and places the [[Pyramid Jewel]] on a high cliff, wanting to impede Link's journey. In a Linked Ages game, Vire appears after [[Moonlit Grotto]], and kidnaps [[Zelda (Oracle Series)|Zelda]], requiring Link to ascend the [[Black Tower]] to rescue her. | |||

The Vire can be found in Kobitan. The Vire wields a [[Boomerang]] as a weapon, and will toss it toward [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]]. The Boomerang comes out rather quickly and can be somewhat difficult to avoid. Zelda must try to dodging the Boomerang, and get as close as possible to deliver a single sword slash which will defeat the Vire. Vire leaves behind a valuable blue [[Rupee|ruby]] each time they are defeated. | The Vire can be found in Kobitan.
