Poes are ghost enemies that appear throughout The Legend of Zelda series, and debut in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. They are encountered in graveyards and other dark areas. Poes carry around a lantern which contains a Poe Soul.
History
The Legend of Zelda series
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. In the Dark World, their counterpart, Hyu, acts the same way but is found in the Village of Outcasts.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Poes are depicted with purple and white frayed robes and black faces with beak-like noses. have a much larger presence. 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 don't 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 Ocarina of Time 3D, it instead is a Big Poe. Four more Poes, the Poe Sisters, make trouble for Link in the Forest Temple.
In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest, normal Poes additionally appear in a grave-filled room of Dodongo's Cavern.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Poes' role has been reduced again. They are one of many types of wandering spirits found in the Ikana region. Normal Poes are only found in the inverted Stone Tower Temple in a single room (which contains Dragonflies normally). Due to the large pit leading into the sky, it is harder to get the Poe Souls when they are defeated. Big Poes and the Poe Sisters reappear as well.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
In The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, a friendly Poe appears in the Yoll Graveyard. If Link uses the Power Bracelet to visit the Poe, he will thank him for freeing him and give Link the Poe Clock, starting the game's trade sequence.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]], Poes appear primarily in the Earth Temple and the Ghost Ship. Here, they appear in four different colors, though they all act the same, and wear large masks with large toothy frowns and colorful patches that may be eyes or cheeks. They are capable of "possessing" Link if they successfully attack him, causing him to become difficult to control for a bit. If they are touched by light, they will clutch their bottoms while running around comically. The boss of the Earth Temple, Jalhalla, is an enormous fat conglomeration of Poes with a mask. When damaged, he splits into all of the individual Poes, which must each be defeated to make him smaller and eventually defeat him.
In the game's coding, a prototypical model for a Poe can be found. It is slender, purple, and has a blue face texture, which is also assigned to its hands.
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
In The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, a single, green Poe appears as the "soul" of the two Big Poe bosses, one in the Swamp and another while infiltrating Hyrule Castle. In both cases, it must be attacked to defeat the boss itself.
