Fire Eye

A Fire Eye is a rare trap that appears in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

Characteristics and Weaknesses
It appears to be a a silver Eyeball Switch, but instead of opening immediately, it remains closed until Link draws near, at which time the eye will open and shoot a fireball that slowly chases Link once it touches the ground. There is no way for Link to guard against this projectile.

In Ocarina of Time, it shoots a single concentration of fire, but in Majora's Mask, it unleashes a prolongued flame when Link is too close. In both cases, an arrow shot is enough to defeat them.
