Eyegores appear in many dungeons. They appear in green and red, and both wear orange cloths and capes. The green ones can be defeated with a thrown [[jar]] or [[arrow]] in the eye, while red ones require three arrows. They often appear in groups. Additionally, large Eyegore statues appear in the dungeons as well, often for decoration, and some holding [[Telepathy tile]]s. Most are gold, but one Eyegore statue, colored green, reveals a secret passage if shot in the eye. Similar Eyegore statues are seen without Eyegores themselves in ''Link's Awakening'' and the ''Oracle'' games.

The green ones can be defeated with a thrown [[jar]] or [[arrow]] in the eye, while red ones require three arrows. They move very fast and often appear in groups.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''====
====''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', two Eyegores appear in the [[Stone Tower Temple]], both on the same bridge. They are depicted as large and slate-colored, having a thin purple torso and limbs, blue armor, and a large, glowing eye on top. The first one stomps slowly after Link, occasionally pounding the ground with its fists while sending up rocks, which turns its cyan eye yellow. From here, it can be damaged with the [[Hero's Bow]] or [[Hookshot]], turning its eye red briefly. If he attempts to walk around it, it will swipe him away with its claws. The second one is encountered when the temple is flipped. It attacks much the same, but it can fire explosive lasers from its eye as well, leaving it open to attack. Attacking it while it fires lasers does not damage it, but stuns it and turns its eye yellow, allowing it to be actually damaged. Neither Eyegore respawns until a new three-day cycle is started.

It attacks much the same, but it can fire lasers from its eye as well, also turning it yellow.
 
In the original game, the first Eyegore will stomp across their bridge if Link moves around underneath it, but in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D|Majora's Mask 3D]]'', it no longer reacts to him here. Additionally, the second Eyegore guards the [[Giant's Mask]] in the original, but no items in the 3DS version due to the mask being moved to the [[Twinmold]] fight.
 
====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords''====
[[File:FS Igor.png|frame]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]'', Igors appear in all four main worlds in various roles, though usually only on higher [[key]] difficulties. They are far more statue-like in this appearance, rarely closing their eyes and hopping slowly to move. Usually, they start out disguised as Igor statues, moving upon being approached or once a specific task is completed, including pressing buttons, opening [[Treasure Chest]]s, or shooting them in the eye, which does not count in damaging them. Unlike Eyegores from previous games, these do not stop following the [[Link]]s and close their eyes unless the Links leave the general area, instead constantly hopping after them. When this happens, they slowly return to their original spot before going dormant. They can be defeated with five arrows.
 
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]'', all Eyegore Statues act as the Igors from this game, but are only ever identified as the statues.


====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''====
====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', Eyegores are encountered in three rooms of the [[Desert Palace|Desert Temple]], with the first and third having two and the second having eight. They act like their ''A Link to the Past'' appearance, but visually somewhat resemble their ''Four Swords'' appearance instead. When defeated, each drops a large green [[Force Gem]], worth 100. Inanimate Eyegore statues are found in the [[Eastern Palace|Eastern Temple]], which look the same as the ones in ''A Link to the Past'', except gray.
Eyegores are encountered en masse in one room of the [[Desert Palace|Desert Temple]]. They act like their ''A Link to the Past'' appearance, but somewhat resemble the [[Eyegore Statue]]s from ''Four Swords''.


====''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds''====
====''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', Eyegores appear mostly as they did in ''A Link to the Past''. They are slightly taller, and additionally appear in blue, being medium-strength. Eyegores can now be attacked in the eye with the sword. Their eyes also function as headlamps in dark rooms. A green Eyegore is first found in the [[House of Winds]], and a blue Eyegore is first found in a water-filled room in [[Thieves' Hideout]], being the only one of this color outside the [[Treacherous Tower]]. A quintet of red Eyegores appear as a mid-boss in the dark in Thieves' Hideout.

===''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' (comic)===
In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (comic)|comic adaptation]] of ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' by [[Shotaro Ishinomori]], a Rocklops called '''Rocklops #1''' appears in the [[Dark Palace|Palace of Darkness]], where it is depicted as a giant, black, one-eyed, humanoid robotic statue with a large mantle, possibly taking design cues from the otherwise-absent [[Armos Knight]]s. It catches a disguised Link trying to blow up the stockpile of [[Firecorn]], and sends a group of [[Hinox]]es and [[Helmaroc King|Gleeocks]] after him. However, Link manages to detonate the stockpile, destroying all the monsters.
 
===''BS Zelda no Densetsu Inishie no Sekiban''===
In ''[[BS Zelda no Densetsu Inishie no Sekiban]]'', Eyegores again appear in green and red, first appearing in the Eastern Palace. The green ones can now be defeated with the sword, though it takes a very large amount of strikes.
