| '''Pincers'''<ref>M. Arakawa. ''The Legend of Zelda – Link's Awakening'' 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. | | '''Pincers''' are centipede-like enemies first found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. They live in holes, which, when approached, will have the Pincer's eyes open visibly from inside. After this, the Pincer will lunge out towards Link. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'', the holes will sometimes be covered with leaves in the fall (notably near [[Eyeglass Lake]]). In this case, the eyes will appear over the leaves, with the leaves being knocked away when it emerges. |

| ==History==
| |
| ===''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening''===
| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', Pincers appear in [[Ukuku Prairie]]. 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]]. Link can use [[Magic Powder]] to freeze a Pincer temporarily.
| |
| | |
| ===''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons''===
| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'', Pincers act the same as before, though they have a slightly shorter reach. appear in [[Spool Swamp]] and one room of the [[Lost Woods]]. During fall, leaves sometimes cover their holes; 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. | |
| | |
| ===''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages''===
| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', Pincers only appear in [[Jabu-Jabu's Belly]], where they appear in small holes regardless of the dungeon's water level. As such, their eyes sometimes poke out from the water's surface.

When a potential meal walks by, they spring from their hiding spots and snatch their prey with powerful pincers.''"
