Eyegore

Eyegore creatures have appeared in many games in the Zelda series, taking on different properties each time. Their general appearance remains the same, however, as do the strategies required to defeat them. Arrows often play a huge part in bringing down these creatures.

A Link to the Past
The Eyegore first appears in A Link to the Past, where they can be found within many dungeons. They can be defeated by using a sword, but an arrow straight in the eye results in a one-hit KO. The green Eyegores can also be defeated by throwing pots at their eyes, however the red Eyegores require three arrows to be defeated.

Majora's Mask


The Eyegore was featured in Majora's Mask. These huge, hulking monsters lie dormant until someone approaches them. Once awake, they will stalk forward on powerful legs and fire beams at the offender from their single yellow eye. They will also slam the ground with their fists to send rocks flying at the enemy. When the offender has been warded off, they will quickly retreat to the point of origin and become dormant again. Eyegores can be stunned using the Bow, thusly leaving them open to further attack. Coincidentally, the Bow and the Hookshot can only be used to damage the brute when his eye is yellow. It is one of the more popular enemies on Majora's Mask, owing mainly to its appearance.

Four Swords Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, Eyegores can be found in the pyramid level after completing the Desert of Doubt. They can be defeated in largely the same way as previous incarnations, by walking into their line of vision, then shooting them in the eye three times to defeat them.

The Minish Cap
Eyegore Statues in The Minish Cap stand stationary in Castor Wilds until shot in the eye with an arrow. For this reason they often block off areas in the marsh. Once provoked, the statues jump about and head towards Link. They can be killed by shooting them repeatedly in the eye with arrows. Referring to the figurine's description, Link can easily run past the Statue once it jumps out the way, saving time and arrows.

Quote from The Minish Cap's Eyegore Statue figurine: "Appears in Castor Wilds. They move when you put an arrow in their eye. No other attacks work. You can always just let them pass…"
