Fokka

Fokka is the Japanese name for an otherwise-unnamed enemy in The Adventure of Link. Only found in the Great Palace, these foes 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. They appear in both blue and red varieties, with blue ones being even more deadly. Sometimes, it is best to flee them rather than to stand and fight as the amount of experience rewarded for defeating one is very small (70 exp for a red and 100 for a blue).

Their name and appearance share similarities with the Fokkeru from the same game.

Trivia

 * The name "Fokka" may have been inspired by the Dutch/German word "vogel", which means "bird". Specifically, the German pronunciation is what seems to be the basis.
