Docile during the day, Remlits are seemingly harmless small creatures that inhabit the floating island of [[Skyloft]]. However, once night falls, they will aggressively attack Link. If enough sword hits are landed on a Remlit, the tiny monster will whimper and retreat, curling itself into a tight ball. Link can continue beating the cowering creature, but it will never be completely destroyed. Even throwing a Remlit off of Skyloft will not kill it. The creature will use its large ears to fly back to solid ground. | Docile during the day, Remlits are seemingly harmless small creatures that inhabit the floating island of [[Skyloft]].

Similar to most of the other bugs in {{SS|-}}, the Hornets are collectible with a [[Bug Net#Skyward Sword|Bug Net]]. Yet unlike all the other insects, the Deku Hornets won't run cowardly for their lives, rather come at whoever approaches them, in swarms - and they do inflict damage. This allows Link to "harvest" them with his net. However, Link can only catch a maximum of 99 Deku Hornets and if he surpasses that number, he stands vulnerable and defenseless to the stings. | ||

When the Gorons refused to relinquish the [[Goron's Ruby]] prior to the events of {{OoT}}, [[Ganondorf]] blocked the entrance to [[Dodongo's Cavern]], thus cutting the Gorons off from their food supply. In an effort to feed his starving people, a lone Goron repeatedly attempts to roll down [[Death Mountain Trail]] with a [[Bomb Flower]] to destroy the rock barrier placed by Ganondorf. Intently focusing on his goal, the Goron will not notice Link as the young hero passes him on Death Mountain Trail, and may explosively slam into the green-clad boy. Link has no way to damage the rolling Goron. | When the Gorons refused to relinquish the [[Goron's Ruby]] prior to the events of {{OoT}}, [[Ganondorf]] blocked the entrance to [[Dodongo's Cavern]], thus cutting the Gorons off from their food supply.

There are two types of Guardians that inhabit Silent Realms. One looks like a mace-wielding [[Darknut]], which can run quickly, but is limited by obstacles and generally confined to certain areas. The other type is a robed beast that slowly hovers around with two blades, passing through any obstacle in its way, and vaguely resembles a [[Garo]]. Both types have three distinctive glowing eyes and pure white armor and robes laced with black and gold. If Link has gathered a [[Sacred Tear]] within the past 90 seconds, the Guardians will return to their dormant state.<ref>{{Cite|Guardians can't detect you as long as petals remain on your Spirit Vessel.

When in a Silent Realm, Link is allowed to bring no weapons along. As such, it is impossible to fight a Guardian, and they are effectively invincible. | When in a Silent Realm, Link is allowed to bring no weapons along.

While transporting the captured light-bearing [[Sol|Sols]] from the [[Palace of Twilight]] to the '''Pedestals of Light''', Link will be constantly accosted by one of Zant's Hands. These disembodied hands can pass through solid objects, and will continue to follow Link until he manages to escape the Palace wing that he is currently in. The hands can be stunned by sword slashes or three shots of the [[clawshot]] or [[arrow|arrows]], though there is no way to permanently destroy them. Once the Sol has been placed in its '''Pedestal of Light''', the Hand corresponding to that Sol will remain in the back of its Palace wing, completely lifeless.

They are not an enemy in all games they appear in, notably {{LA}}, in which Link must rescue a pet Chain Chomp named BowWow.<ref>{{Cite | These creatures, later adopted by the Mario series, exist as a malicious, aggressive ball on a chain attached to some central point.

A Phantom is an extremely powerful enemy, able to knock out Link with only one swipe of its sword. They appear in many varieties, most with different abilities. These enemies are presented in a similar fashion in both {{PH}} and {{ST}}. When a Phantom attacks Link, it forces him to automatically return to the door from which he entered the area, but it will only cost him one heart of his health.

Appearing in every game except for {{TAoL}}, Blade Traps have threatened every known incarnation of Link. They damage the green tunic-wearing hero by simply gliding into him. Some have motion-sensor capabilities, meaning they wait for Link to appear before launching, whereas others continuously follow a set path. No attack can be used to damage these enemies, except for an axe smash from a statue controlled by the [[Dominion Rod]] in {{TP}}. | Appearing in every game except for {{TAoL}}, Blade Traps have threatened every known incarnation of Link.

Chasers appear in a number of games. They are similar to Blade Traps in that they will chase Link if he crosses their path in one of the four cardinal directions. They move slower than Blade Traps however, and will not return to their original position once reaching a wall. They will instead stop at their new position, and "chase" Link from there. As to be expected, Chasers are often found in narrow corridors where they are harder to dodge. | Chasers appear in a number of games.
