Beetles are four-legged arthropod enemies that live in small holes in the ground. They scuttle slowly around and are fairly weak.
History [ edit ]
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening [ edit ]
In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening , Beetles only appear in a single screen of Ukuku Prairie near Kanalet Castle . An infinite number of them emerge one at a time from a hole in the ground before wandering slowly about. In the original game, they have a fairly nondescript appearance, but in the Nintendo Switch remake , they have slate blue bodies with a spike on top and a single yellow eye, giving them a somewhat Tektite -like appearance.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages [ edit ]
In both The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages , Beetles act mostly as they do in Link's Awakening , but are now usually dug up with the shovel . In the former game, Facade has an attack that causes four to drop from the ceiling.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap [ edit ]
In The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap , Beetles appear smaller than before and have a yellow spot or eye on their backs. They act as a parasitic nuisance in this game, grabbing onto Link and restricting his movement until he uses the sword. They can appear randomly from cut grass and bushes , upended rocks , and in areas dug with the Mole Mitts . In the wild, they appear with gray bodies, but red ones appear in the fight against Mazaal .
