Pols Voice

are recurring enemies in.

In, Pols Voices are ghosts with big ears, whiskers, and a tooth-filled maw underneath them. They bounce around dungeon rooms and can be defeated with a single Arrow. When defeated, Pols Voices may drop either a Heart, one Rupee, five Rupees or a Clock.

The game's manual states that Pols Voices hate loud noises. This is a reference to the Japanese version of the game, where they can only be defeated by talking into the second controller's microphone. As the NES controllers do not feature a built-in microphone, their weakness was changed to Arrows; however, the manual's description was translated literally and not edited to reflect this.

In the Famicom and Famicom Disk System cartridge releases of, all Pols Voices in the room are defeated if the Famicom's second controller's built-in microphone detects sound. In the Japanese Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console release, all Pols Voice in the room will be defeated if the Nintendo 3DS microphone detects a loud noise while the second controller is selected. In the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console release, all Pols Voices in the room will be defeated if the Wii U GamePad microphone detects a loud noise. In the Japanese Game Boy Advance release, Pols Voices can be defeated by pressing Select four times. In the Japanese Wii Virtual Console release, they can be defeated by rotating the right Control Stick of the Classic Controller or the C-Stick of the Nintendo GameCube Controller. In the Nintendo Switch Online release, they can be defeated by simultaneously pressing either the pair L and ZL or the pair R and ZR; additionally, the Famicom Nintendo Switch controller includes a microphone, which can also be used to defeat Pols Voice (regardless of which player the controller is assigned to). In the release, the second controller has a sticker in place of the microphone, so Pols Voice do not have a weakness, meaning that Link can only defeat them using weapons. The Recorder does not affect them in any version of the game.

Pols Voices appear in Bottle Grotto and LANS: in. They are primarily vulnerable to Arrows, though they take several shots to defeat. They can also be quickly defeated by throwing Pots at them or by using Bombs. Playing the Ballad of the Wind Fish on the Ocarina will defeat them instantly.

Pols Voices can be temporarily stunned with Magic Powder. After they have been stunned, they can be picked up and thrown using the Power Bracelet.

Pols voices appear in Snake's Remains, Poison Moth's Lair, and the Sword & Shield Maze in. They also appear inside the Hero's Cave in a Linked Game. They can be destroyed with Pots and Bombs, and playing the Strange Flute and its variants (Dimitri's Flute, Ricky's Flute and Moosh's Flute) will cause them to explode.

Pols Voices appear in Moonlit Grotto in. They can be destroyed with Pots and Bombs, and playing the Harp of Ages or the Strange Flute and its variants (Dimitri's Flute, Ricky's Flute and Moosh's Flute) will cause them to explode.

In, Pols Voices only appear in the Temple of Courage. By blowing into the Nintendo DS microphone, they get stunned, leaving them open for an attack. Pols Voices attack by flipping forward and attempting to attack Link with their large mouths hidden under their bodies. Their appearance in this game is much closer to the original Legend of Zelda official art than the in-game 2D sprites up to this point.

Pols Voice appears in as a mini-boss in the Shrine of Illusion. The best method to defeat Pols Voice is to attack it with the Noise spell, although it is also possible to defeat it by attacking it with Zelda's Wand for two minutes in real time.
