{{about|the recurring snake enemy|information on the generic item|[[Rope (item)]]}}
'''Ropes''' are poisonous snakes<ref>''The Legend of Zelda'' manual, page 35</ref> and enemies that appear in many ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games, starting with the titular ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. Ropes usually slither around slowly, but if they notice [[Link]], they charge at him. They can be defeated by a slash from the [[sword]]. Their color often varies between their appearances.

==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda'' series===
====''The Legend of Zelda''====
[[File:Rope enemy TLoZ sprite.png|frame]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', Ropes only appear in [[dungeon|labyrinth]]s, and will charge at Link if he is on the same x- or y-axis as one with nothing blocking them from doing so. Additionally, they only have sideways-facing sprites. There are two types of Ropes: an orange type and a flashing type. The orange ones appear in the [[Moon (labyrinth)|Moon]] and [[Demon]] labyrinths in the original quest, being one of the primary enemies of the former and only appearing in a single room of the latter. The flashing ones only appear in the [[Second Quest]], in [[Level-3 (Second Quest)|Level-3]] and [[Level-8 (Second Quest)|Level-8]]. The flashing Ropes can be defeated if hit four times.

Link first encounters Ropes early during his adventure, in the secret passage of [[Hyrule Castle]]. The game introduces a variant of Rope called [[Skullrope|Masked Snake]], which has a skull on its head.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''====
[[File:FSA Rope red.png|frame]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', Ropes appear in red, but otherwise look like a more-detailed version of their ''A Link to the Past'' design.

====''The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap''====

In ''[[Zelda's Adventure]]'', a single Rope (generically referred to as a '''snake''') appears west of [[Great Wimbich]], slithering about aimlessly. Playing the [[Flute]] obtained from one of the townspeople causes it to catch fire and drop the [[Pyros]] spell.

In ''[[Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer featuring The Legend of Zelda]]'', they appear as one of the new enemies in the future Hyrule available as DLC in the digital release but included in the base game in the physical release.
