In {{OoT}} and {{MM}}, Link can only target with the help of a [[Fairy]], though this is rarely acknowledged (for example, during the battle with [[Ganon#Ocarina of Time|Ganondorf]] in {{OoT|-}},<ref>{{Cite|Link!

In {{OoT|-}} and {{MM|-}}, [[Poe]]s will turn invisible when targeted. When this happens, Link can no longer target or attack them until they turn visible again. The accuracy of this is disputable, as oftentimes, Navi will continue to target the invisible Poe. Certain enemies, like the [[Gold Skulltula]], cannot be targeted for unknown reasons, forcing Link to manually aim his weapons at them. In both {{OoT|-}} and {{MM|-}}, unused targeting text for Gold Skulltulas exists but is never used.<ref>{{Cite | In {{OoT|-}} and {{MM|-}}, [[Poe]]s will turn invisible when targeted.

The targeting system of {{OoT|-}} was originally meant to be more like the one in {{TWW|-}} or {{TP|-}}; with an upside down triangle above the targeted object, but the character designer, Yoshiaki Koizumi, thought it too simple and opted for a Fairy.<ref>{{Cite | The targeting system of {{OoT|-}} was originally meant to be more like the one in {{TWW|-}} or {{TP|-}}; with an upside down triangle above the targeted object, but the character designer, Yoshiaki Koizumi, thought it too simple and opted for a Fairy.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= Right.

In {{TWWHD}} and {{TPHD}}, Targeting is achieved by pressing the ZL Button.<ref>{{Cite|You, my friend, have just targeted me. You see, when you press [ZL], you can target certain objects.

* Whenever Link is near an Object that can be Targeted, he will automatically turn his head towards it. | |||
* In {{BotW|-}} and {{TotK}}, Link is able to target {{Plural|Series|Lynel|link}} even if they are offscreen. These are the only {{Plural|Series|Enemy|link}} he can do so with. | |||
