'''Poes''' are ghost enemies that appear throughout ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series, and debut in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''. They are encountered in [[graveyard]]s and other dark areas. Poes carry around a lantern which contains a [[Poe Soul]]. Their name may be a reference to the author {{wp|Edgar Allan Poe}}. | '''Poes''' are ghost enemies that appear throughout ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series, and debut in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', Poes are found in the graveyard outside the [[Sanctuary]] starting at midway through the game. They fly back and forth in a wavy pattern.

They are first found in the [[Kakariko Graveyard]]. When certain graves are moved, a lantern will appear underneath. It will then wiggle, and the Poe will form. Poes float around while a whooshing noise plays, and will charge at [[Link]] while spinning their lanterns. If they are hit, they will rapidly back away, and if they are targeted, they will turn invisible and invincible. When they are defeated, their whole bodies turn black and disintegrate, causing their lanterns to drop and releasing the Poe Soul, which looks like a sad, purple flame. In the future, Poes can be found in the graveyard even without moving graves. Also in the graveyard are the [[Composer Brothers]] (also referred to as '''Poes of the graveyard''') who act much the same, but offer advice regarding the [[Sun's Song]] when defeated. | ||
In the future in [[Hyrule Field]], a different type of Poe appears, having a split, jester-like hood and skull necklace.

These ones do not care if Link targets them, and instead circle him just out of reach, dropping fire from their lanterns. They release the same type of Poe Soul. Sometimes (usually while riding [[Epona]]), a [[Big Poe]] appears instead, and flees instead of attacking. In the [[Haunted Wasteland]], a [[Phantom Guide]] appears to direct Link across it. In the original, it resembles one of the fire-dropping type, but in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D|Ocarina of Time 3D]]'', it instead is a Big Poe. Four more Poes, the [[Poe sisters]], make trouble for Link in the [[Forest Temple]]. | ||
Solely in the future, Poe Souls can be sold to the [[Poe Collector]] at the [[Ghost Shop]] in the ruins of [[Hyrule Castle Town]]. | Solely in the future, Poe Souls can be sold to the [[Poe Collector]] at the [[Ghost Shop]] in the ruins of [[Hyrule Castle Town]]. | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', a single, green Poe appears as the "soul" of the two Big Poe bosses, starting with [[Big Poe (The Swamp)|the one]] in [[the Swamp]]. After the Big Poe is defeated and it explodes, the small green Poe is shown frantically but slowly hopping away, but cannot be interacted with in any way. Later, when another Big Poe is found during the [[infiltration of Hyrule Castle]], the Big Poe will occasionally inhale some of the Links, bringing them to the same place as the green Poe, which appears on the [[Game Boy Advance]] screen. At this point, they can battle it directly, with it only being able to spit a fireball to attack. After enough damage is taken, the Big Poe will spit the Links out, and the process will need repeating. Eventually, the Poe will take too much damage and explode, followed by the Big Poe also exploding. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', a single, green Poe appears as the "soul" of the two Big Poe bosses, starting with [[Big Poe (The Swamp)|the one]] in [[the Swamp]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', four Poes appear, each found in the [[Arbiter's Grounds]], where they steal four torch lights, similar to the Poe sisters. They are treated as a larger version of the [[Imp Poe]] in this game, which are much more common. Like Imp Poes, they give [[Poe Soul]]s upon defeat. Appearance-wise, they are very tall and thin with fanged, blue, corpse-like faces.

Another group of them guards the deepest reaches of the [[Lost Woods]], only reachable when Link has all three [[Pendants of Virtue]]. They direct Link through the woods with a series of challenges involving the group twisting among themselves to confuse him. It starts with a group of eight, though if he repeatedly fails, the number will drop. For the first challenge, he must follow a specific one, for the second, he must avoid going down the same paths as two of them, and in the third, must avoid going down the same path as three of them, with the correct answer being the path he came out from. | ||

In ''[[Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer featuring The Legend of Zelda]]'', Poes appear in numerous colors, the most basic of which is orange. They appear transparent and holding still, but begin following the player character after being approached. They only appear solid when the player character is moving away from them, similar to [[Boo Buddy|Boos]] in the ''[[MarioWiki:Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise, and if they catch up to the player, they will teleport them somewhere else on the screen. When a Poe is close enough, however, moving in its direction will defeat it. | |||
