 Link encountering an Anti-Kirby in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX | |
| First appearance | The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (1993) |
| Latest appearance | The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (1998) |
Anti-Kirby (plural form: Anti-Kirbies[1]) is an enemy in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and its Game Boy Color port, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX. They are directly inspired by Kirby from the Kirby series, and are purported to be his evil twins,[1] though their Japanese name seemingly identifies them as the character himself, despite there being more than one in the game. Anti-Kirbies have the same inhalation ability as Kirby.
Anti-Kirbies only appear on the first floor of Eagle's Tower, where they jump around the room in random directions. If an Anti-Kirby notices Link, it tries to inhale him into its mouth. If an Anti-Kirby successfully inhales Link, it spits him out a few seconds later, causing Link to lose a Heart. Anti-Kirbies are invulnerable to some of Link's attacks, including his Sword. Link can only defeat an Anti-Kirby by using the Boomerang or the Magic Rod, or by throwing a Bomb to explode near it.
