Favourite Zelda Enemy

Aeralfos, of course

I just like how they appear as a final form of a lizalfos. I've always loved the ability to fly, and reptillian/dinosaur like enemies and an aeralfos is all this put together. I wish there was some sort of possessing item so I could make them playable >:3

I'd have to say my favorite enemy would be Darknuts. Reason behind this is that when you first find them they are diffucult and than after that they get easier. I find them a good way to stage your progress and skill, espcially sense you run into more of them in diffucult tasks, such as the Cave of Ordeals. If I had a second favorite it would be the wonderful and always entertaning Gibdos(did I spell that right) from MM. I love to make them dance and than beat them up.

Darknuts, they're fun to battle

I prefer Iron Knuckles over Darknuts. Imagine fighting 5 Iron Knuckles at the end of the CoO

Mine was darknut in twilight princess because it was so fun fighting him in the temple of time and death sword because i loved his sword it was so cool and they were just so easy.

Also, many memorable moments when playing Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask or the Wind Waker have involved Redeads.

My top 10 memorable encounters with Redeads/Gibdos (Warning: Some spoilers if you haven't played OoT, Majora's Mask or WW yet).

1) Everyone remembers the first time they encounter a Redead in Ocarina of Time: in the grave of the Royal Family. The green mist, the skeletons that tell of lurkers in the dark, and then the moans that emanate forth from the shadows...the atmosphere still creeps me out to this day.

2) Beneath the Well: Part 1. Remember that room with six coffins, that you have to open by lighting torches? When I lit one of the torches, I thought "perhaps there'll be a key? A golden skulltula?" And then a Gibdo floats out.

3) Beneath the Well: Part 2. Well, I thought I was prepared when I got Master Quest. I reached the room with the six coffins. "Yep, there'll probably be more Redeads or Gibdos in the coffins. No big deal." So I unlocked the door - and walked headlong into a Gibdo that the game designers had decided to place directly in front of the door to leap on poor unsuspecting Link.

4) Ganon's Castle. When Link and Zelda must flee the crumbling castle, the last thing they really need is a Redead lurking by the exit...

5) The ruined Hyrule market. Enough said.

6) Ikana canyon. When I first approached the Music House and saw the Gibdos walking around it, I actually thought they were just freely roaming the area, and that one could just pop up behind me any second. I sent Link tearing back across the canyon, leaped into the river, and let it carry me all the way to the southern swamp. Yep, cowardly, I know.

7) The castle in Ikana. This was the moment when I realised how amusing Redeads can be. I mean, ballet dancing zombies? Mind you, when I blasted the top floor with the Powder Keg and dropped through to the first floor, I didn't really expect to land between four Redeads...and I didn't have the Gibdo mask or the Captain's hat on! My cowardice immediately returned, and I fled for the exit - fortuitously, the light from my mirror shield managed to reflect the sunlight onto every one of the Redeads as I ran away, so I inadvertently managed to kill them all.

8) Redeads in the basement! And finally, we reach the Wind Waker. I didn't like the Redeads quite as much in WW - they had a very strange tribal look, and their shrieks reminded me more of elephants than anything else. All the same, it is a bit shocking when you drop down a hole in your own comfy little cabana, only to be confronted with not one, but two of them...and there's no Sun's Song or Gibdo mask at hand...

9) The Savage Labyrinth: I surpassed the first 20 levels and reached the Triforce chart. There I was, thinking how easy it all was. "And there weren't even any Redeads!" Then I spotted one of those statues that you can crumble with light from the Mirror Shield. And lo and behold, another hole. "Well, okay, probably just another ten levels or so. And there probably won't be any Redeads anyway." So I dropped down - and landed in a room filled with them. Of course.

10) The Ghost Ship: So I finally obtained the Ghost Ship chart and boarded the fabled vessel. I thought: "This isn't so bad! Just a poe or two, nothing special." So without a second thought, I dropped down to the floor. Suddenly, a Wizrobe appeared, summoned a ball of light, and dropped a Redead practically right on top of me. Nasty.

I like the Flare Dancers because form one is awesome the way it dances on fire and form two is fun to chase around because it's like a little kid in a store. XD

I have an odd love/hate relationship with guays. I think they look handsome and cool but they scare me to death especially when I see them headed straight for me. Also, their frog calls are awesome but scary.
I like doing this thing where I'm in Ikana right outside of the castle walls with the guays flying around and I switch my Stone mask on and off just to see them get confused.
I love that Stone Mask. Lets me look at enemies in an observant way.

These are the kind of responses we are looking for in a thread like this. Well thought out and detailed posts, which make for an interesting read and help develop some great discussion.

My favorite... is a Phantom, from ph. I like making them chase me and take laps around the temple.

The Darknuts from the Wind Waker. Fantastic designs and fun to fight.

my favorite enemy is most likely Blaaz the first in (PH). I liked this enemy because he was the fist zelda boss i fought. PH is the first zelda game i've played.

am i the only one who likes ice Keesees? i just love the way you get frustrated and want to shoot them all with a shotgun if you had. love that feeling...

Totally with you here, man. I only wish you didn't have to depend on the Clawshot to beat them. I would have liked to test other weapons on them.

I like most of the reptilian enemies, especially the -foses. But they fell too easily to bomb arrows and spin attack. I'd like longer fights.

Then there's the Darknuts of TP. Oh yes. It's hard, it requires tactics, and they got moves. Like, they push you with their shields, throw their weapons, kick you, does combos, etc. Also, the only way to hurt their second phase is to throw them off-guard. Nice.

Redeads, Aeralfos (well, anything dragonlike), and the Zora warriors in PH. I used to have a hard time beating them, but now I find it incredibly easy.

Who wouldn't like redeads, anyway? They're so full of rape.

My favorite enemies are Lizalfos.
