Dactos ,[ 1] also known as Flyceratopses [ 2] and Ravens ,[ 3] [ 4] are small pterosaurian enemies that act as a stronger version of Crows .
History [ edit ]
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past [ edit ]
In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past , Flyceratopses are found in the Dark World in the area east of the Skeleton Forest . Unlike Crows, they persistently follow Link for a large distance until defeated. Before obtaining the Red Mail , contact with one deals three hearts of damage, which combined with their speed and persistence makes them quite dangerous despite their small size. They appear as small, peach-colored pterosaurs with bird-like feet, and like the game's Crows, lack distinct pupils.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening [ edit ]
In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening , Ravens are found around the outside of Turtle Rock . Likely due to graphical limitations, they do not resemble pterosaurs in the original game, instead looking like more robust crows with light-colored wings. In Link's Awakening DX , their beak and wings are colored blue. In the Nintendo Switch remake , they are redesigned to resemble their A Link Between Worlds appearance, but with an orange beak and the general shape of the game's Crows.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons [ edit ]
In The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons , Ravens are unusually encountered before Crows. A pair of them are encountered in an area of Holodrum Plains leading to Spool Swamp , and fly at Link in a somewhat curved path before flying away. Unlike Crows, they still use a blue palette.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds [ edit ]
In The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds , Dactos are found in Lorule , where they again act as a counterpart to Crows. They look and act like they do in A Link to the Past , though they are much less powerful and now have slit-like pupils.
