Though Keese don't appear in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', Aches, a similar species of bats, do. Aches in this game are usually found in forests. They hang at the top of the screen, waiting for someone to pass, and dive down to attack them. Blue Aches take only one hit to defeat. It should be noted that the official name of these enemies is actually Ache, but they behave like Keese in almost every respect, so they are often confused with them. In certain towns, some Aches disguise themselves as villagers and attack Link when he tries to talk to them. They are called "The Eyes of Ganon".

Ice Keese are Keese exposed to cold, such as an ice arrow or blue fire (a regular arrow kills them and can kill Keese, as well). In ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'', they freeze Link and return to normal, similar to Fire Keese. In ''Twilight Princess'', Ice Keese cannot be changed into regular Keese, nor can regular Keese be transformed into Ice Keese.

Vires are large, blue bat creatures that hop around aimlessly. They're only found in Dungeons, and when harmed, split into two red-colored Keese, which float around the room like regular Keese.  After dispatching the red Keese, if a player exits and immediately returns to a room, the Vires will all be back, since they haven't truly been killed. If it is hurt by the arrow, magical sword, or any weapon that does at least four damage, it will instead die.

Vires rarely appear in only one dungeon, the eighth dungeon, Turtle Rock. They fly around shooting Fireballs, which can be blocked with a Sword swipe, and after three or four of them, will swoop down at Link. Three blows will take it out, and cause it to explode into two Big Keese.  A zap from the magic wand kills it without causing it to split.
