Pols Voice is the name given to a species of rabbit-like monsters that hop along the ground, seeking out intruders within their habitat, which is usually some sort of cave or dungeon. They made their debut in The Legend of Zelda for the NES and are found in most handheld Zelda games thereafter. Their head boasts two floppy ears and whiskers like that of a rabbit or hare, but the similarities end there. They have evil, black beady eyes and a lower torso that degenerates to a slime-like mass. For unknown reasons, the ears of a Pols Voice are hyper-sensitive to loud sound, and playing a melody from an instrument such as an Ocarina or Recorder will cause them to spontaneously explode. Originally, they were meant to be sensitive to input into a microphone peripheral for the NES, however that weakness was lost in translation. They are also quite vulnerable to arrows, as Link can easily eradicate several at once with one arrow if they are aligned in the arrow's path. Their only other other glaring weakness is their weakness to explosives, such as bombs. They are immune to piercing weapons, including any type of sword.
Pols Voices also appear in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, where they first appear in the Temple of Courage. They appear very large, and similar to previous concept art. As a nod to the microphone peripheral that was only released in Japan, (as stated above, their classic weakness) the only way to expose their weakness is to scream into the Nintendo DS Mic, which stuns them and makes them vulnerable to attack. That being the case, a player who doesn't know this secret will have a difficult time with them.
