Hyrule is a dangerous place filled with enemies, if you don't know how to defeat an enemy check this guide!
Ache
Be careful, you never may know that the "Eyes of Azrael" are watching you until its too late to react. The Ache are blue and purple bats that are related to the Keese, although more resilient in combat, harder to destroy, and that have magical abilities. They can disguise themselves in the villages of Hyrule as an ordinary Hylian and attack anyone that attempts to trifle with their spying for Azrael. They can be killed with most weapons but the Bow & Arrow is the most effective.
Acheman
Hanging from the ceilings of their abode, they may resemble an Ache, although the first difference that a traveler will know is that normal Ache are only blue and purple. The Acheman in bat form is a deep red. When it senses an intruder nearby it will swoop down like an Ache, but the similarity stops there. When the Acheman touches ground, it transforms into a demon that spits fire at intruders. After a few volleys of fire, the Acheman will have to recharge and retreat into bat form to regain energy in a safe place. The Acheman is significantly stronger than its Ache relatives, and can be killed with most close-range weapons like swords.
Anti-Fairy
The Anti-Fairy is, as its name implies, the exact opposite of a healing fairy. It attacks by sapping Link's health. Link found out he could use Magic Powder to turn the spectre into a fairy, healing him in the process, proving that an Anti-Fairy is just a fairy corrupted by some sort of dark magic.
Anti-Vacuum
The Ant-Vacuum is a strange enemy found in the Temple of the Sea King, it is the parallel of the Vacuum. It is immobile and essentially non-aggressive; it's ability is to push all creatures (both you enemies alike) inexorably away it. It does so in short five-second bursts accompanied by a whooshing noise. It can only be approached with the Pegasus Boots.
Arm-Mimic
Arm-Mimics are distinctive because of their large arms. They emulate every move you make but if you posses the Magnet Gloves you can pull them in whichever direction you want. A few sword swipes will take care of them in no time.
Armos
Armos look like stone statues, but if you get too close, they move! They attack by slowly hopping towards you. The easiest way to defeat them is by throwing a bomb into it's mouth, which opens right before it hops toward you, but the Tremor Hammer works just as well. After you have attacked them they charge towards you and attempt to blow up in your face as a final attack.
Bari
Bari are huge gelatinous masses equipped with an electric offensive attack. They are found exclusively within bodies of water and behave like jellyfish. When you get close to them they start generating an electric field around them that only lasts for a while. When the shield is gone use the Twin Boomerang on them to slice off their stingers, allowing you to kill them with your sword.
Beamos
Beamos are stone statues with rotating heads and a single glaring eye. They will not hesitate to fire an energy beam at anything that makes eye contact with them. they can be defeated by shooting them with the Bow & Arrow in the eye, or by using a statue controlled with the Spinner to smash them.
Bio Deku Baba
The Bio Deku Baba are just like their cousins, the Deku Baba, the only difference is when you cut them from their lilypad, they start to crawl around on the bottom of the water. If you're not already down there, it will just stand down there waiting for you. If you are down there, then they will come after you, hit it with your Twin Boomerang or any other projectile to eliminate it.
Biri
Biri are small electrical jellyfish located within Nayru's Bay. They will electrocute Link if he comes into contact with them, and can only be defeated with the Boomerang, Bombs, Hero's Bow, or by stunning them with a Deku Nut before moving in with the sword.
Black Boe
These annoying little critters hide in the darkness. Don't be afraid to kill them, as a sword slash will do. Beware, though, as they always appear in large numbers; that is the only way they can pose an actual threat.
Blade Trap
To be a true hero, one must go through many hard trials, including journeying through the deep bowels of dungeons and temples. One fear is that traps can come at any moment. The Blade Trap is a formidable mechanized trap that has impaled many a hero on its spikes, The Blade Traps are sentient, seeming to have mechanized eyes built into the center of their "body", they only attack when you walk past them.
Blue Bubble
These cursed monsters are found in many dungeons. Defend yourself with your shield, this will knock its blue flame out. All other items will also accomplish this purpose, but defending is the safest method. They also seem to be attracted to bombs, because when you throw one near a Blue Bubble, they circle it until the bomb explodes. When it drops to the floor simply attack it with your sword. Beware though, because contact with its blue flames will cause curses, and you will be unable to use your sword for a few seconds
Blue Chuchu
Pale-blue in color, Blue Chuchus are one of the rarest types found. It also drops the rarest type of Chu Jelly, Blue Chu Jelly. The Blue Chu Jelly heals both Magic Power and Hearts. Like the Yellow Chuchu they are electrified, but unlike the Yellow Chuchu they stay electrified until they are stunned so have your Twin Boomerang ready. There is only one Blue ChuChu per island, and they only drop their jelly once, so don't waste it!
Blue Tektite
The Blue Tektite is a variety of Tektite which can be found in most watery areas. It will follow after you, bouncing, until it reaches you and does relatively small amounts of damage. They can walk on water and can jump down areas of considerable heights, which make areas like Lake Hylia and Nayru's Bay perfect habitats for them. They are quite simple to kill; two blows with the sword or one shot from the Hero's Bow will get rid of one in no time at all.
Bokoblin
Bokoblins are the common infantry unit, alongside Moblins and Greater Moblins. They are first encountered in their blue-skinned variant, which carries a small stick and is easily felled. Later, they will appear purple, and wield swords. Purple Bokoblins are surprisingly resilient, taking very much abuse before death. They share their blue counterpart's mental drawbacks, however.
Bombarossa
These plant-like creatures are found in Holoran Forest and Farore's Grove. They attack by shooting bombs out of their "mouths" at you that explode upon impact, the only way to kill them is to shoot the bomb they lauch so it blows up right in their face!
Bombchu
They are found in the dry, Gerudo Desert near the entrance to Ikana Canyon and are also one of the major inhabitants of the region. Whenever Link passes by they immediately carry out their kamikaze style attack by blowing up near the player. They can be repelled by holding R to block them with the Hero's Shield or the Mirror Shield.
Bomber
Although comical in appearance, these are enemies that you should definitely stay away from. These mushrooms have adapted over times to sprout wings and become sentient creatures. They prowl around well watered areas and fields, seeking out prey or enemies to their domain. If a target is spotted, the Bomber will discharge an explosive substance similar to a bomb onto the enemy, which will destruct on contact with the target or nearby ground. They use their wings to their advantage, dodging close-range weapons like swords, although if one is fast enough, it can be done.
Bombfish
The Bombfish is a blue, piranha-like fish found swimming around in Nayru's Bay and Woodfall Temple. The Clawshot can be used to drag one towards Link as well as arm it, allowing it to be used in a manner similar to a regular Water Bombs.
Bombskit
These small bird-like creatures found in Hyrule Field are of no real threat to Link, unless they start laying their explosive eggs, which they will do when chased on foot. Take them out with a projectile weapon like the Hero's Bow, or hit them with Epona to kill them.
Bot
Although small, the Bot is one of the deadliest creatures in Hyrule. Once one forms it beins to multiply and continues multiplying until it is destroyed, they take one hit to kill but can become incredibly annoying if they are allowed to multiply too much and you lose sight of the original one.
Bubble
Similar to the Green Bubble, the White Bubble follows a set path, only their paths are more confusing, they travel much faster, and they are often seen in groups, so it is a good tactic to pick them out one by one, and from a distance. Fortunately, they will not begin to hop around annoyingly like the other bubbles the first time they are struck, and they don't have a flame surrounding their bodies to protect them from sword attacks.
Business Scrub
Unlike normal Deku Scrubs, if you perform the same shield-deflect-nut strategy instead of fleeing, they will reluctantly do business with you. They sell a variety of items you would usually find at stores and offer slightly higher prices.
Charade
Charades are possibly the oddest creatures found in Hyrule. They are found in groups of three and take the form of a random enemy found in Hyrule. To defeat them one must kill them all at the same time, the difficulty of this is different depending on what enemy they copy. The most effective way to beat them is wait till they're all in range and then use a Spin Attack.
Chaser
Similar to Blade Traps, these spiked traps are sentient seemingly having eyes in the middle of their "bodies" like Blade Traps, but the similatity stops there, after these traps spot you they will chase after you until you leave the room or go to a place they can't reach. They can't be defeated but if you use the Clawshot on them and a Post they will be trapped to the Post like a dog on a leash.
Chest-Mimic
Chest-Mimics look like ordinary chests until you go to open them that is, they pull you in and slowly take away hearts unless you escape by rapidly moving the mouse from side-to-side. Chest-Mimics cannot be defeated.
Chilfos
The Chilfos are warriors that appear to be made of ice, found in Snowhead Cavern, they carry large spear-like icicles that they will use as two-handed weapons against Link in hand-to-hand combat, and they will throw them as javelins to attack you from a distance. They can be very aggravating in large numbers, but they can be taken out in one-hit with a Bomb Arrow. You can conserve your arrows and bombs while still one-hitting them once you obtain the Ball and Chain.
Chuchu Trap
After two Red Chuchus attach themselves to a spiked log, they turn into a living, breathing trap. Found in the Palace of the Heavens, Chuchu traps can be annoying if you are fighting other enemies while they are in the room. After acquiring the Roc's Cape you can easily jump over them, but to kill them you would have to kill both Red Chuchus on each side.
Cloud Piranha
These creatures swim through the clouds like fish, and their protective armour prevents you from killing them with projectile weapons, only the Tremor Hammer can knock them out of the sky.
Cucco
A large group of indestructible Cuccos that will attack Link if he causes sufficient harm to a Cucco. The only ways to escape the murderous group of poultry are to leave the area (they can't follow) or to mount Epona (Link himself becomes indestructible). Failure to do one of these two things will eventually result in Link's death, the time for this extending the more health the player has.
Cukeman
Sprinkling Magic Powder onto a Chu will transform it into a creature called a "Cukeman". The Cukeman will give you confusing advice about the game and various things in it. They're still electrified, however, so they can still be dangerous if your not careful.
Darknut
Wielding a long serrated blade, and wearing strong armor, they are one of the the most difficult non-boss enemies in the game. To defeat them you have to hit them in the back which is their only vunerable point, they attack with different sword moves and after their armour has been taken off they become much faster and harder to hit.
Deadrock
The Deadrock is a rock-based creature that makes its home on the summit of Death Mountain, The Deadrock is an invincible creature, although it can be slowed down and stopped in order to escape it. When the Deadrock is hit with weapons such as a sword, it will morph into an impenetrable rock statue, and stay that way for a few moments before it transforms back into its normal, mobile form. This is the cue for intruders to escape the menace.
Death Armos
This almost invincibel enemy floats in the air and tries to stomp on you, it can only be defeated by using the Cane of Pacci on it making it flip upside-down, and the next time it tries to stomp you it'll take damage.
Deelfos
Closely related to the Stalfos, a Deelfos will approach Link like a Stalfos, but when Link swings his sword, the creature will leap into the air dodging the attack, cornering it and then releasing a fast series of slashes is the only way to defeat it.
Deku Baba
Deku Babas are a species of carnivorous plant famous for being the crop used to produce Deku Sticks and Deku Nuts. Attack a Deku Baba when it lunges forward and the Deku Baba will swerve into the air and stand upright for a few moments. If you then chop the stalk, the Baba will die immediately and provide you with a Deku Stick, if instead you decide to only attack the head, you shall be rewarded with Deku Nuts
Deku Scrub
Deku Scrubs are small creatures that have the ability to spit Deku Nuts at their enemies. They look as if they are made of wood, hinting that they evolved from plants. They can be defeated by deflecting their Deku Nuts back at them with a shield.
Desbreko
Once the Desbreko senses an enemy's presence, they attack and try to cause injury to the target. They are often found in groups and will attack as such. The best weapons against Desbreko are the Twin Boomerangs and the Hero's Bow. To ensure safety when entering the water, one should first clear the water of these deadly fish.
Dexispark
Similair to the Spark, these creatures cling to pots and other objects letting out an electric shock if Link tries to smash the pot. They can be defeated with long-range weapons like the Hero's Bow and Slingshot.
Dynalfos
Dinolfos are the stronger relatives of Lizalfos and are similar in appearance, but are larger with more violent-looking features, bodies covered in spines, and heavier, black armor. It attacks with it's sword and fire breath, and can do considerable damage if you don't watch it.
Dodongo
The Dodongo is a slow lizard-like enemy which will try to damage you by breathing fire. Swipe its tail with your sword at least two times, and it will explode.

Dragonfly

Eyegore
These huge, hulking monsters lie dormant until someone approaches them. Once awake, they will stalk forward on powerful legs and fire beams at the offender from their single yellow eye. They will also slam the ground with their fists to send rocks flying at the enemy. When the offender has been warded off, they will quickly retreat to the point of origin and become dormant again. Eyegores can be stunned using the Hero's Bow corresponding to the colour of their eye (yellow = Light Arrow, red = Fire Arrow, blue = Ice Arrow), thusly leaving them open to further attack.
Fire Keese
When Keese are exposed to an open flame, they can transform into Fire Keese. They will light you on fire when they attack you, but they can be defeated the same way as normal Keese.
Floor Master

They can be killed with a few slices of the sword, or with just about any other weapon, they are susceptible to light and will reteat if you use the Mirror Shield or Light Arrow on them. They're quite difficult to dispatch, though, since they only emerge from their holes when you come close enough to be grabbed. If there are any objects (empty chests, pots, items, etc.) lying around nearby, Floormasters will not hesitate to pick them up and throw them. Occasionally Floor Masters may be invisible and you will have to use the Lens of Truth to see them.
Freezard
A Freezard is a chained up creature found in Snowpeak Cavern that attacks by blowing an icy gale, straight in front of itself at regular intervals. Upon impact, this gale will encase anything it touches in a coating of ice that slowly eats away at one's life energy. They can easily be defeated with the Ball & Chain of a Fire Arrow.
Frostail
The Frostail is an ice-tolerant centipede monster that resides in the supercool areas of Snowpeak Cavern. It slithers around rooms, waiting for helpless prey to come near to it. When it does, it will stretch out its mandibles, and then slice them down on the hapless victim, direct exposure to the eye of the creature by a variety of weapons such as the Hero's Bow will cause the creature to curl into a hardened ball that can be used to put on switches to hold them down, or the Frostail itself could be killed if it is hit in the eye with a powerful attack.
Fotail
Fotails are armored knights with birdlike heads, they are among the deadliest foes in the game, leaping all over the room with startling agility and shooting beams from their swords that deal enormous amounts of damage. Sometimes, it is best to flee them rather than to stand and fight.
Geldarm
