Tailpasaran

From Triforce Wiki, a The Legend of Zelda wiki
Revision as of 07:23, December 6, 2021 by Doc von Schmeltwick (talk | contribs) (I'm seeing some sources say they can be beaten with the sword, but it didn't seem to be the case playing MQ 3D today. Might it be a revision difference, or am I just that bad at hitting immobile slightly airborne targets?)

Tailpasarans are enemies found inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They are made of a tough, fanged head resembling a small Leever and a delicate body made of electrical segments. They initially appear with their heads poking out of the floor, spinning, but will emerge and fly around erratically at Link if he approaches. If one hits him, it burrows fully into the floor and pokes its head out again soon after. Their tails are their weak point, but due to the electricity, they cannot be attacked safely with non-projectile weapons. Deku Nuts can stun them, even in midair, though they still cannot be hit with the sword while stunned. Additionally, they are immune to explosions. To defeat them safely, Link needs to use the Boomerang to hit the tails.
