Poe Sisters

The are recurring characters in. They are four Poe siblings that haunt and torment their respective residences, due to the unrelenting restlessness of their souls.

In, the Poe Sisters were four ghostly siblings named Joelle, Beth, Amy, and Meg. They haunted the OoT3D: for many years until Link was able to put their souls to rest. When defeated, each yielded a different colored flame that illuminated a torch at the center of the temple. When all four torches were lit, Link was granted access to the temple's basement, where the boss, Phantom Ganon, awaited Link's arrival.

In, they haunt the Spirit House of Ikana. They serve as four optional mini-bosses, and can be fought by paying the Poe Collector thirty Rupees. Link only has three minutes to defeat them, and his life cannot drop below three Hearts or else the Poe Collector stops the match. The reward for defeating them is a Piece of Heart.

Two Poe Sisters named Amy and Margaret serve as the mini-bosses of the Explorer's Crypt in. Margaret carries a lantern, leaving a trail of fire as she flies around, while Amy carries a sword that she charges at Link with. Each of them are first seen in rooms that gradually darken, eventually casting Link back to the dungeon entrance if he is too slow to flee the room. They then appear in rooms next to the room they had cursed, where Link fights one of them. Finally, they fight together, forcing Link to not only attack them, but also relight the lamps they extinguish, lest he be expelled back to the dungeon entrance.
