In {{TLoZ}}, Aquamentus appears as the [[Boss]] of {{Term|TLoZ|Level 1|link}} and {{Term|TLoZ|Level 7|link}} of the First Quest as well as Level-1 of the [[Second Quest]]. It guards a fragment of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. Aquamentus also appears in {{Term|TLoZ|Level 4|link}} and {{Term|TLoZ|Level 8|link}} of the Second Quest. Aquamentus slowly walks back and forth and periodically shoots a group of three fireballs out of its mouth.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= Aquamentus: A Unicorn having lots of attacking power.

Link can damage an Aquamentus with his {{Term|TLoZ|Sword|link}} or [[Bomb]]s, but can also attack from a distance by throwing his Sword, shooting the [[Bow]] and [[Arrow]] or using the [[Magical Rod]]. Aquamentus cannot be stunned by the [[Boomerang]] and is invulnerable to [[Fire]]. When it is defeated, a [[Heart Container]] will appear and Aquamentus may drop either a [[Heart]], a [[Fairy]], or one [[Rupee]].{{Note|If {{Term|TLoZ|Link|link}} defeats 10 enemies without getting hit or teleporting with the {{Term|TLoZ|Recorder|link}}, then the 10th enemy defeated will drop five {{Plural|TLoZ|Rupee|link}}.

An Aquamentus is depicted as a horse-like monster in the "[[Underworld Connections]]" episode of {{TLoZ|TV Series}}. As Link is retrieving a shard of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] while swimming in the [[Black Falls]], an Aquamentus appears out of a dark, underwater cave. The Aquamentus takes him to the surface while Link is riding on top of it, struggling.<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote=Zelda! Help!

Aquamentus appears as the Boss of [[Level 1|Level-1]] and [[Level-7 (BS The Legend of Zelda)|Level-7]], and as a Mini-Boss in [[Level-8 (BS The Legend of Zelda)|Level-8]], in {{BSTLoZ}}. It is fought in the same manner as in {{TLoZ|-}}. In its latter two appearances, Aquamentus is much stronger and more animated, shooting fireballs more frequently and requiring several hits before turning blue, then finally turning red after several more hits, before being defeated.
