'''Pincers'''<ref> | '''Pincers'''<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 97.</ref> are centipede-like [[Moldorm (The Legend of Zelda)|Moldorm]] enemies which live in holes. Pincers first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' and have later appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', retaining their role from their debut appearance. Pincers are named directly for the pincers on their face. Their body is red and made up of circular segments. | ||
If [[Link]] approaches a hole with a Pincer, its eyes open visibly from inside for a few seconds. After this, the Pincer lunges out toward Link, who can defeat it by striking it with his [[sword]] twice. Link can quickly dodge Pincers by jumping over them using the [[Roc's Feather]]. In ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'', Link can use [[Magic Powder]] to freeze a Pincer temporarily. | |||
In ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons'', during the fall, some of the holes are covered with leaves (notably near [[Spool Swamp]]). In such cases, if Link approaches a hole with a Pincer, its eyes appear over the leaves, which are knocked away once the Pincer emerges. | |||
