ContactVires are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.
The Legend of Zelda
Vires appear fairly early in the game. When hit, they split into two red-colored Keese, unless hit with the Magical Sword. They jump around the screen, but cannot cross water.
Link's Awakening
Vires are flying, red demons that are found only in Turtle Rock. These devils are able to fly off the edge of the screen and reappear on another side unlike any other enemy in the game, making them very evasive. Attacking Vires with the sword is extremely difficult, as they will quickly fly away when getting near them. The Fire Rod and Boomerang are the best weapons against Vires, since they defeat them in one hit. The Hookshot is a bit too slow for Vires, but the Bow may be useful.
Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages
One of the many Vires is a servant to both Onox and Veran, and attempts to hinder 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, requiring Link to ascend the Black Tower to rescue her.

This section describes a subject that is or may be outside the core Zelda canon. |
The Wand of Gamelon
The Vire can be found in Kobitan. The Vire wields a Boomerang as a weapon, and will toss it toward 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 ruby each time they are defeated.
