Big Keese,[1][2] also called Battle Bats[3][4][5] and Bats,[1][3][6] also formatted as bats,[2] are a species which are related to Keese which appear in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. They have a black body with two white and green wings. Big Keese appear during the fight against the Grim Creeper. During the fight when the Grim Creeper plays his piccolo six Big Keese appear. He then points his piccolo forward, causing the Big Keese to dive towards Link. Big Keese can be hit while diving. If six Big Keese are defeated when they attack, the fight ends. If any Big Keese fly off of the screen when they attack, the fight continues and six Big Keese appear when the Grim Creeper plays his piccolo again.
On top of the Eagle's Tower two Big Keese appear above the Grim Creeper. When the Evil Eagle appears the Big Keese are blown off the screen.
In the English translation of original game, as well as its enhanced port, the Grim Creeper calls the Big Keese his brothers, and seemingly stops himself from saying Link "killed" them in favor of saying he "beat" them. In the Nintendo Switch remake, he instead says they were "some of [his] best friends" while also calling them "creeps," and the aspect of Link beating them is not specifically brought up.
