Gargoyles appear as Targets in the Shooting Gallery. When struck, they reduce Link's score by 50 points.

Other Appearances

The Faces of Evil

Gargoyles can be frozen briefly by ringing the Bell in The Faces of Evil.

The Wand of Gamelon

Gargoyles are fairly common and weak enemies in The Wand of Gamelon. As with most other enemies, they have a tendency of spawning frequently. In the Hanyu and Nokani Forests, their green coloration allows them to easily blend in the tree tops' leaves, making them hard to spot. They can be frozen briefly by using the Flute.

Oracle of Ages (Himekawa)
