Bees, also sometimes known as Hornets, are a recurring enemy and Bug in the Template:LZS.

They are usually hidden in trees and sometimes grass, and come out when Link disturbs their territory, but they are easily defeated with almost any weapon.

Appearances

A Link to the Past

In A Link to the Past, Bees appear from cut grass and will attack Link once they appear. They can be caught using the Bug Catching Net and kept in an empty Bottle. The Bee can then be unleashed to attack nearby enemies and deal a small amount of damage. There is also a variation called the Good Bee, which stays by Link's side for longer. In the Game Boy Advance version of A Link to the Past, the Good Bee is called the Golden Bee. Link can sell it in Kakariko Village, after which he can buy more from there.

Link's Awakening

In Link's Awakening, Bees only make a brief appearance at one of the trees in Ukuku Prairie. They swarm the Honeycomb, which is part of the Trading Sequence. When Tarin knocks down the Bees' hive using the Stick, a swarm of angry Bees emerge to chase him away.

Majora's Mask

In Majora's Mask, Giant Bees appear as enemies. They are mostly located in the Southern Swamp, but can also be found in Snowhead and the Pirates' Fortress. They appear from hives and will emerge if they are hit with Arrows, and will attack Link if he gets too close. In the Swamp Spider House, their hives are scattered throughout the ceilings of various rooms. In Snowhead, they appear around the flowers that appear once spring is returned. In the Pirates' Fortress, Link can shoot at their hives to make them come out and scare away all the Gerudo Pirates in the room.

Four Swords Adventures

In Four Swords Adventures, Bees can be found in the Lost woods. A group of seven Bees, six forming a hexagon with one in the center, will emerge from an infested tree should the four Links approach it. After a three second delay, the Bees will swarm over and damage the Links. The Sword is ineffective against them, but the Bees will gather around a thrown Bomb, probably attracted to the flame of the fuse, and perish when it explodes. The Bees will also leave the screen if they manage to hit the Links five times successfully. There are no visible indicators as to which trees are infested.

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, Bees, also known as Hylian Hornets,[1] attack Link to protect their Bee Larvae, which can be used for fishing or to restore health. They are found at the Fishing Hole, Ordon Village and within several caverns.

Phantom Hourglass

In Phantom Hourglass, Bees are found swarming around hives on a few islands, such as Cannon Island. They will buzz around Link if he gets close, or swarm around him if he destroys their hive. They can be defeated using most weapons.

Spirit Tracks

In Spirit Tracks, Bees appear similarly as they did in Phantom Hourglass. They are harmless until Link disturbs their hive, which quickly angers them. Angry Bees will chase after Link, however they cannot be attacked. They will eventually break off their pursuit, or stop entirely should Link enter a house or leap into deep water.

Skyward Sword

In Skyward Sword, Deku Hornets appear. They can be found at Faron Woods, Deep Woods and at Bug Heaven. They will attack Link if he comes too close or if he attacks their nest. They can easily be caught using the Bug Net. Link obtains Hornet Larvae by destroying their hive.

A Link Between Worlds

In A Link Between Worlds, Bees appear identically to their incarnation of A Link to the Past. They appear from cut grass and are at first hostile towards Link. They can be kept in an empty Bottle with the use of the Bug Net. Golden Bees reappear as well, and are rarely found in grass. They can be sold to the Bee Guy for the Bee Badge. The Badge enables the Bees Link discovers to automatically attack nearby enemies for him.

Trivia

  • Deku Hornets' nests are one of the few objects that can be grabbed by the Hook Beetle, and dropped onto enemies. However the Hornets cannot defeat enemies, and instead will distract them until they fly away.
