Ache

are bat enemies appearing in. They are blue or purple bats similar to NaN Keeses, although they are more resilient in combat and are sometimes shown to have magical abilities and even the ability to talk.

Characteristics
In, NaN Aches usually appear in a blue variety found commonly in caves, and sometimes in NaN Trees. Their method of attack is to hang from the branches or ceiling, and swoop down in a pointed arc towards TAoL:, returning to their roosting point. This makes them hard to hit and avoid, but they are rather weak and more of an annoyance than a real threat.

Purple NaN Aches are slightly different from their more common counterparts. Called "Eyes of Ganon" by townsfolk, NaN Aches can disguise themselves in the villages of TAoL: as ordinary NaN Hylians. Almost anyone TAoL: meets in TAoL: or TAoL: may be an TAoL: in disguise, and they often reveal themselves and attack if TAoL: talks to them, striking unexpectedly. Not only this, but purple NaN Aches can vary wildly in strength; they usually do minor damage and take a single strike to defeat, but sometimes they may be much stronger and able to withstand a huge number of hits, similar to NaN Bubbles.

In TAoL:, a lone red TAoL: roosts on the ceiling of one building. It will not attack, and if TAoL: jumps up he can speak to it, but it will not say anything. If TAoL: persists, it will break its silence and reveal a secret to him.

The TAoL: is a close relative to NaN Aches.

TV Series
An Ache makes a brief appearance in "The Ringer" episode of. Like the rest of Ganon's minions, the Ache is capable of speech. When Ganon arrives disguised to the Magician's Contest being held in North Castle, he turns a bird into an Ache and orders it to go see who is guarding the Triforce of Wisdom. The Ache then flies off to the tower where the Triforce and Link are located and sees that Link and Spryte are next to the sacred relic. The flying foe then returns to Ganon and informs him that the young hero is guarding the Triforce.
