Li'l Devil

The is a recurring character in. He sleeps in altars found in underground caves, and Link may awaken him by sprinkling Magic Powder on the said altars. The bat creature is known for cursing Link to punish him for having been released, but he inadvertently helps Link out by providing upgrades as his curse.

In, his altar is found in a hole next to the NaN Dwarven Swordsmiths' ALttP:. The hole can only be reached by pounding the stake blocking the way with the ALttP: and jumping into it. Once inside, ALttP: can go north to an altar and sprinkle the ALttP:. The ALttP: will appear, who will both scold and thank ALttP: for waking him. This confusing shift in his dialogue continues until he finally casts a spell on ALttP:, halving his ALttP:. In reality, this causes ALttP: to consume half the magic power he normally would with pertaining items.

The LADX: shows up in three different locations throughout : the LADX:, LADX:, and LADX:. The LADX: serves the same purpose wherever he is seen: to increase LADX:'s inventory. His altars are always found underground and look like lamps. When LADX: tosses LADX: on them, the creature appears in a ball of light form before taking a bat-like form. Upset about being awakened from his sleep, the LADX: speaks in a purposely confusing way. The creature will triple LADX:'s capacity for carrying NaN Bombs and NaN Arrows and double that of his LADX:,  thinking he's troubling the hero by burdening him with more equipment. LADX: can choose whether to be "punished" or not, as the creature will ask "Are you ready?!" before he casts a spell. However, if LADX: declines, the LADX: will only change the option of what equipment he will increase.

In this version of Link's Awakening, the Mad Batter is called Li'l Devil in the game and appears more demonic; however, his role remains virtually the same. His color was changed from blue in to a more muted brownish-purple color in the remake.
