In {{TP}}, the Aeralfos appear as mini-bosses.<ref name="E 162"/> One is first encountered in [[City in the Sky]],<ref name="E 162"/> and later in [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]].<ref name="E 162"/> They also appear in the [[Cave of Ordeals]] as well. Their wings give them the ability to initially avoid most of [[Link]]'s attacks with the Sword and other weapons. They are lightly armored and bear a tribal loincloth adorned with sharp fangs.

In {{TFH}}, Aeralfos appear as enemies in the last Stage of [[Dragon Citadel]]. They fly in the air, breathe gusts of wind and attempt to dive at the [[Links]] below, and attack them with their sword. They can be dangerous enemies to contend with, as their attacks can potentially inflict a lot of damage at once. Their backsides however are unprotected, so the Links can attack it from behind after it dives to attack. This is especially effective if a Link provokes an Aeralfos to dive towards him, and the other Links attack it from behind. The Link in the path of an Aeralfos' attack can also use a well-timed [[Gripshot]] to grab and discard its shield, leaving it more vulnerable to the Links' strikes.

{{Ambig|End}}

Aeralfos appear as elite enemies in {{HW}}. They move around the battle field by flying close to the ground, and attack their enemies by swooping down at them. Aeralfos possess a number of other attacks as well, including breathing fire. Aeralfos may breathe a stream of fire around them before briefly landing, or stab the ground with a thrust of their sword, creating a small shockwave. Whenever they land, their [[Weak Point Gauge]] is exposed, leaving them open to direct attack. Like the Aeralfos of {{TP|-}}, their shields can also be grappled onto using the [[Hookshot]] while they are in flight. Doing so lets the attacking Warrior strike them midair, and also exposes their Weak Point Gauge.
