Like Like

are recurring NaN Enemies in.

Characteristics
NaN Like Likes are voracious and gelatinous, tube-like creatures notorious for sucking up their prey into their wide mouths and robbing them of their NaN Shields before spitting them out. NaN Like Likes will suck in and engulf Series:, after which they will spit him out without his equipment. In most games, they will relinquish the stolen Series: if they are slain quickly enough. While NaN Like Likes will steal most NaN Shields, unique equipment like the Series: usually cannot be eaten by these enemies. They often reside in wet and dark places, but can also occasionally be found in dry areas.

NaN Like Likes are often harmless and will not hurt Series:, while in other games they will inflict minimal damage as they spit him out. Series: can fight NaN Like Likes with his Series:, Series:, Series: and most other items. In later games, a Series: can be tossed into the Series:'s mouth as it tries to suck Series: in. While the Series: can be used in some games to stun or damage them, it does not work in all games, and instead may pull Series: into the Series:'s mouth and risk losing his equipment.

While NaN Like Likes most commonly prey on NaN Shields, other varieties of NaN Like Likes exist with a penchant for eating other items. These include NaN Rupee Likes, which eat NaN Rupees; NaN Force Likes, which eat NaN Force Gems; NaN Deku Likes; and NaN Life Likes, which simply drain Series: of his NaN Hearts. The Series: is a similar kind of enemy that also steals NaN Shields.

NaN Like Likes inhabit NaN Dungeons in. On the TLoZ:, they appear in TLoZ:, TLoZ:, and TLoZ:. On the TLoZ:, they appear in TLoZ: as well as TLoZ: and TLoZ:. NaN Like Likes frequently appear in small groups, often in small spaces with other enemies, making them more difficult to avoid. While slow, they move in random and erratic patterns. They will only eat TLoZ:'s TLoZ:, after which they will release him and his TLoZ: reverts back to an ordinary TLoZ:. If TLoZ: is caught by a TLoZ:, he can use his TLoZ: to quickly attack it from inside before it can steal his TLoZ:. NaN Like Likes will not attempt to steal his basic TLoZ:, and will never drop any items when defeated.

NaN Like Likes appear in the Game Boy Advance version of. They appear as enemies in the ALttP: in their tube-like form. Groups of NaN Like Likes appear near the ALttP: to the east of the ALttP:, as well as in the ALttP:. These incarnations of NaN Like Likes are similar to those in other 2-D games; they move in slow, random paths, but will usually try to target ALttP: when he is nearby. In this game, NaN Like Likes are capable of stealing any of ALttP:'s NaN Shields, including the ALttP:. If a ALttP: manages to steal ALttP:'s ALttP:, it will quickly scurry away before flying off with it. ALttP: can defeat the ALttP: before it flies away to retrieve his ALttP:. To counteract their ability to steal the ALttP:, a new one can be purchased at the ALttP: if a ALttP: successfully steals it. Most items can be used to attack or stun them; the ALttP: is only able to repel them back, while the ALttP: can be used to stun them.

NaN Pikits share their Japanese name with NaN Like Likes, making them the same enemy despite their vastly different appearance and behavior. Both NaN Pikits and NaN Like Likes co-exist in the ALttP: in the Game Boy Advance version of in spite of this fact.

NaN Like Likes in appear similarly to those from. They appear in groups in the prairies near LANS:. They also appear in the Eagle's Tower. NaN Like Likes are able to steal LANS:'s basic LANS:, but only if the LANS: is equipped. Defeating the LANS: who stole it will salvage the LANS:, otherwise another one can be bought at the LANS:. NaN Like Likes will not damage LANS: or spit him out if he comes in contact with one, forcing him to struggle free. They are unable to eat the LANS:. NaN Like Likes can be defeated with most items such as the LANS: and NaN Bombs, as well as LANS:, the LANS:, and the LANS:. The LANS: can also be used to defeat them without repercussions.

The Nintendo Switch version of the game has a few differences compared to the original: if a Like Like eats Link, it'll deal 1 heart of damage, it's able to eat Link's regular Shield at any time, and a different message appears after Link is spat out; this message reads "Didn't you have a shield a second ago? Did... did that thing eat it?!" Link is able to get his shield back from a Like Like that stole it.

NaN Like Likes in have a more gelatinous appearance than previous games, and make a loud gushing sound as they move. They no longer appear in groups and tend to act alone. NaN Like Likes will attempt to steal NaN Hylian Shields, but are unable to take the OoT3D:. Unique to, NaN Like Likes may also steal NaN Goron Tunics and NaN Zora Tunics if OoT3D: happens to be wearing one. When a OoT3D: spots OoT3D:, it will slowly move towards him and attempt to capture him in its mouth. When OoT3D: is caught in one, it will continuously constrict him before violently spitting him out with his possession stolen. The OoT3D: will then leave to digest the item. If OoT3D: defeats the OoT3D: before it can digest his equipment, he will be able to reclaim it. It is also possible for OoT3D: to swap his equipment before he is spat out to prevent it from being stolen.

NaN Like Likes from are vulnerable to fire, and can be defeated in one hit by OoT3D: or by shooting a OoT3D:. The OoT3D: can also defeat it in one strike. The OoT3D: will stun a OoT3D:, but will also pull OoT3D: in without swallowing him. When defeated, they drop three NaN Blue Rupees. They appear OoT3D: ( only), in the OoT3D:, in the OoT3D:, at the OoT3D:, in the OoT3D:, in the OoT3D:, in OoT3D:, and at the OoT3D:.

NaN Like Likes in appear identically to those from. They appear only in the MM3D: and MM3D:. They are found mainly underwater, or on the beach at night; some can also be found in shallow water. They can be attacked when MM3D: is in his MM3D: form, by punching them repeatedly or by using MM3D:'s electrical barrier; the MM3D: are only able to stun them. NaN Like Likes are unable to eat the MM3D:. As with Ocarina of Time, Link will take one heart of damage when a Like Like spits him out.

NaN Like Likes in appear in a similar manner to those from. They can be found in the OoS:, the OoS: region, the OoS: of the OoS:, and the OoS:.

Unlike previous games, NaN Like Likes can steal and eat all levels of NaN Shields, including the OoS: and the OoS:. When OoS: is engulfed by a OoS:, it will immediately eat his OoS:, regardless of whether or not it was equipped, before releasing him. Defeating the OoS: will not return OoS:'s OoS:; however, once OoS: obtains higher level NaN Shields, shops will begin selling them should he ever lose one. As in other games, NaN Like Likes are resilient enemies that take multiple hits from any attack to defeat. Interestingly, while NaN Ember Seeds can burn them, it will not damage them. NaN Like Likes cannot swallow OoS: if he is riding an animal companion.

The OoS: can be worn to give OoS: the appearance of a green OoS:. Like Likes will not eat Link in this state, but Link cannot attack or use items as a Like Like.

Unlike previous games, NaN Like Likes can steal and eat all levels of NaN Shields, including the OoA: and the OoA:. When OoA: is engulfed by a OoA:, it will immediately eat his OoA:, regardless of whether or not it was equipped, before releasing him. Defeating the OoA: will not return OoA:'s OoA:; however, once OoA: obtains higher level NaN Shields, shops will begin selling them should he ever lose one.

NaN Like Likes in appear similarly to their past incarnations. They can be found in the sealed NaN Caves across TMC: that are accessed with the TMC:. They are able to conceal themselves in the earth, and appear suddenly when TMC: is near to ambush him. NaN Like Likes are able to steal any TMC: in TMC:'s possession, including the TMC:; however, NaN Like Likes will not digest the TMC:, and they can be defeated to reclaim it. When a Like Like takes a shield from Link, a message box will pop up that says "Your shield was stolen!" and then the Like Like will spit Link out. Like Likes deal very minimal damage when Link is spat out in the Minish Cap; a Like Like will have to eat Link twice to deal 1/4 of a heart of damage (thrice if he's down to his last 1/4 heart of health).

also includes a variant of TMC: called a TMC:, which drains TMC: of NaN Rupees rather than stealing his TMC:. NaN Rupee Likes were introduced in Four Swords, and they bait and ambush TMC: by using the TMC: lures on their stalks, and are commonly found in NaN Dungeons.

NaN Like Likes in appear as uncommon enemies in small groups. They differ from previous incarnations, as they are able to suck in PH: through a vacuum-like wind tunnel. Once trapped in their mouths, PH: will need to struggle free by rubbing the stylus back and forth on the touch screen. If he does not escape quickly enough, the PH: will steal his PH:, though they can be defeated to retrieve the stolen PH:. Strangely, no message box will pop up if Link's shield is stolen. NaN Like Likes are highly resilient and take three hits of the PH: or PH: to defeat. The PH: can be used to stun them. New to, PH: can also throw NaN Bombs into their gaping mouths as they are inhaling to attack them. They appear in the PH:.

NaN Rupee Likes also make a reappearance, and are more common than ordinary NaN Like Likes.

NaN Like Likes appear in as identical to those from. NaN Like Likes have a new tactic, as some now hide in barrels, NaN Jars, and fake NaN Treasure Chests, attempting to ambush unsuspecting adventurers. These objects will shake just before the ST: reveals itself. As before, they will attempt to suck in ST: through a wind tunnel and steal his ST:, and the stylus must be rubbed on the screen to break free. However, Link cannot get a stolen shield back from a Like Like. Also, when Link loses a shield, a message box will pop up which reads "That monster ate your shield!" to indicate when a shield has been stolen. While they are able to steal the basic ST:, they are unable to take the ST:. All previous strategies, including tossing a ST: into their mouths, are effective. They appear in the ST: at the ST: and the ST:.

Rupee Likes do not appear in Spirit Tracks.

NaN Like Likes appear as enemies in ALBW: in. NaN Rupee Likes also appear in this game. In this game, a Like Like will slowly chase after Link when he approaches, and it will try to grab him into its mouth when it's facing him. If it manages to capture Link, it will chew him up for a few seconds. If the player doesn't wriggle free fast enough, it will engulf him inside it, chew him up some more, and then he will be spat out and his shield will be lost. This will deal two hearts of damage to Link, and the Like Like will hop away before Link hits the ground on his back. After the Like Like finishes hopping away from Link, it will stay in its spot for a few seconds, then it will burp, indicating that it ate Link's Shield, forcing the player to eventually purchase a replacement. However, Like Likes cannot eat the Hylian Shield in this game.

NaN Like Likes appear as enemies in Tears of the Kingdom, with a squat body and suction-cup like limbs and a toothy maw. While immobile, a Like Like can stretch their necks out a considerable distance to try and swallow Link. It exposes an eye-like organ shortly before it attacks, which acts as its weak spot and can be attacked to interrupt its attack. If it is tricked into eating a Bomb Flower, the Bomb Flower will explode and deal heavy damage in addition to stunning the Like Like.

also includes three new Like Like variants. The TotK: spits rocks at Link, the TotK: fires balls of electricity, and the TotK: is a miniboss that sprays sludge; it is also able to cover itself with sludge, protecting it from harm unless the sludge is washed away by water-based attacks.

In, Like Likes appear as both enemies in the level of  and as a Trophy. Like in the Zelda games, they attack by swallowing a character that comes near them, dealing continuous damage while that character is trapped inside, and when the Like Like spits them out, the player takes additional damage. The higher the damage percentage a player has accumulated when being swallowed, the longer he/she will be trapped inside the Like Like before being spat out. These enemies can be defeated by hitting it until they take enough damage. For every Like Like the player defeats, 500 points are added for the.

Nomenclature
According to the Like Like Trophy in, the name Like Like is derived from an ancient Series: proverb, "Shield-eaters and world leaders have many likes alike." In the Japanese version, it comes from the Japanese proverb, which roughly means "each to their own tastes." Since shield (たて) and (たで) are very similar in spelling, the Like Like is a reference to the saying, corrupting "water-pepper" to "shield."
