Fire Eye

A Fire Eye is a rare trap that appears in and.

Characteristics and Weaknesses
The Fire Eye looks like a normal silver Eye Switch. However, it remains closed until Link draws near, at which point the the eye will open and shoot a fireball that slowly chases Link once it touches the ground. The fireball is extremely persistent but can be deflected using a shield. In Ocarina of Time it only appears once in the Shadow Temple, but they are more common in the Master Quest version.

In Majora's Mask it appears Beneath the Well and unleashes a prolonged flame when Link is too close, which cannot be defended against using a shield. In both appearances however, an arrow shot when the eye is open is enough to defeat them.
