Cheep Cheeps,[1] sometimes formatted as Cheep-Cheeps,[2] formerly named Cheep-Sheep[3][4] and generically named fish,[5] are underwater fish enemies that appear in several The Legend of Zelda games, the first one being The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. They originate from the Mario franchise. They mainly attack by swimming back and forth.

History[edit]

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening[edit]

Cheep-Cheeps in Catfish's Maw of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX

Cheep-Cheeps first appear in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX. Cheep-Cheeps only appear in side-scrolling, subterranean areas, including dungeons. Cheep-Cheeps only swim back and forth and do not actively target Link. He can defeat a Cheep-Cheep with a single hit from his sword or another weapon. If hit by a Cheep-Cheep, Link loses half a heart of his health. They appear in the underwater passages of Angler's Tunnel and Catfish's Maw. If Link is outside the water, a Cheep-Cheep sometimes jumps up at him. While it does this, Link can use the Roc's Feather to jump on the Cheep-Cheep and defeat it.

In the Nintendo Switch remake, a Cheep Cheep figure is a prize in the Trendy Game, and it can be placed on a stand in old man Ulrira's house.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages[edit]

Cheep Cheeps appear in some underwater passages of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. They act the same as in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, although Link can no longer defeat Cheep Cheeps by jumping on them.

In The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, five Cheep Cheeps appear in the underwater passage from Sunken City to Mt. Cucco, as well as a hidden cave in Samasa Desert. In The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, Cheep Cheeps appear in the passage to Tokkey's retreat and under the Great Moblin's Keep. Later, five Cheep Cheeps appear in two side-scrolling tunnels of Jabu-Jabu's Belly; two are in the first tunnel and three are in the second tunnel. In the latter game, Link can use the Switch Hook to defeat the Cheep Cheeps.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures[edit]

Cheep Cheeps reappear in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. A giant variant of Cheep Cheep also appears in the game which, unlike normal ones, charges at players.

Profiles and descriptions[edit]

Zelda Universe[edit]

  • "Cheep-Sheep are unusual fish who opt to live in the murky waters which stagnate deep in the dungeons of Koholint Island. They sporadically leap from the water, often smacking a passer-by in the face."

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening[edit]

  • Player's Guide: "These finny fiends jump out of the water and attack in the side-scrolling areas. They're easy to avoid or defeat with the Sword."

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX[edit]

  • Prima Games guide: "These little nuisances jump around in watery areas. Walk by them or eliminate them when they jump out of the water."

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages[edit]

  • Prima Games guide: "These slow-moving underwater creatures are easily defeated with a sword."
