Cheep Cheep

Cheep-Cheeps are recurring enemies in. They are directly based on the enemies of the  series.

Cheep-Cheeps are small fish that are solely encountered in underground side-scrolling areas, usually in flooded caves or dungeon passages. They swim slowly and pose little threat to Link, but can swim in varying patterns horizontally or vertically and make avoiding them tricky in certain instances. In some areas, they leap out of the water to attack Link from below, similarly to Cheep-Cheeps in the Mario series.

Link's Awakening
In, Cheep-Cheeps are encountered in flooded, underground passages of dungeons, predominately in Angler's Tunnel and Catfish's Maw. Cheep-Cheeps slowly swim in the waters they inhabit. While they are generally docile, the Cheep-Cheeps in Catfish's Maw will jump out of the water when Link is near, however they can be stomped down if Link is right above them. Cheep-Cheeps are weak enemies that can be destroyed by any manner of attack, including the Sword, which Link can swing while swimming underwater.

Oracle series
In the, Cheep-Cheeps appear identically to those in Link's Awakening. They appear in flooded side-scrolling areas of caves and dungeons. As before, they can be attacked with the Sword while underwater. In, they can also be destroyed with the Switch Hook. In Oracle of Ages, Cheep-Cheeps can be found in the passages of Jabu-Jabu's Belly. In, they are found in the underground tunnel between Sunken City and Mt. Cucco.

Four Swords Adventures
In, Cheep-Cheeps are once again found in flooded side-scrolling areas of Stages. They swim slowly and threat to the Links, however as the Sword cannot be used underwater, they must simply be avoided. They are encountered at Lake Hylia, The Coast, Desert of Doubt, and Frozen Hyrule.

Trivia
