Eyegore

Eyegores, also known as Eyegore Statues in, are recurring enemies in. They are large, -like creatures with tough defenses that make them impervious to most attacks, with their key weak spot being their single eye. Eyegores are weak to projectile weapons, especially to the Bow and Arrows, and in some cases are the only weapons that will inflict any damage onto them.

In, Eyegores can be found in the Eastern Palace and the Desert Palace, and later in Ganon's Tower. They stand still until they are approached, when they open their eye and charge at Link for a brief moment. Only when their eye is open are they vulnerable to attacks. Green Eyegores can be defeated with just the Sword, but they are durable and require many hits to defeat. A shot Arrow or a thrown Pot straight in the eye defeats them instantly. Red Eyegores are completely immune to all attacks even when their eye is open, except to Arrows. Two Arrows will defeat red Eyegores.

Decorative Eyegore statues also appear in various dungeons in both the Light and Dark Worlds, and one in particular is key to solving a specific puzzle. Some of them also hold Telepathy Tiles.

In, Eyegores are hulking monsters with slender bodies and big heads, which constitutes solely of their eye. Only two of them appear in the Stone Tower Temple. They stands dormant until approached. Once awake, they will creep forward and fire beams at Link from their single yellow eye. They will also slam the ground with their fists to send rocks flying at him. When Link has been warded off, they will quickly retreat to their point of origin and become dormant again. Eyegores can be stunned by aiming the Hero's Bow or Hookshot at their eye, thus leaving them open to further attack. They can only be damaged when their eye is yellow.

In, Eyegores appear as stone statue-like monsters with horns and a prominent single eye. Initially, they are dormant, but awaken and hop after Link when approached. They can appear in any stage, including the Realm of Memories and Hero's Trial in.

In, Eyegores will awaken and charge at the Links in short intervals when approached. They can only be attacked by shooting Arrows into their eyes. Eyegores can only be found in the Desert Temple.

Eyegore Statues appear throughout the Castor Wilds in. They stand stationary in a dormant state, often blocking the path to other areas of the marsh. They will only activate once shot in the eye with an Arrow from Link's Bow, after which they will attack by jumping towards him. They are slow as they must hop in place to turn around. Eyegore Statues can be destroyed by shooting them in the eye with three Arrows, not counting the first Arrow used to activate them. A single Light Arrow will destroy them in one shot. Eyegore Statues will usually drop a bundle of Arrows behind once defeated to replenish Link's stock. Link can also just run past the Statue once it jumps out of the way.

In, Eyegores stand dormant until Link comes near, when they awake and quickly charge at him. They, however, no longer require the Bow to be defeated and can be attacked with any conventional weapon. Theire eyes also brightly glow in pitch dark spaces whenever they are open. They appear in green, red, and blue varieties. A group of five red Eyegores are also fought as mini-bosses in a dark room of the Thieves' Hideout.

(Ishinomori)
In the, Link encounters an Eyegore during his visit to the Palace of Darkness. Although Link had been able to sneak around the palace using Zora's Mask as a disguise, he is eventually discovered by an Eyegore. The Eyegore warns Link of what could happen if he set off the Firecorns in the Palace, but the hero disregards its warning and takes a Hinox's Bomb belt that was wrapped around it. After the Eyegore summons Gleeoks to attack Link, the hero makes the Firecorns explode, destroying the entire Palace and, with it, the Eyegore.
