Bloopers are enemies in Link's Awakening.[name references needed][note 1] They are directly based on the Blooper enemies from the Mario series.

Characteristics

Bloopers are squid-like enemies that are encountered in an underwater passage of Catfish's Maw. Unlike Cheep-Cheeps, which slowly swim back and forth in a set path, Bloopers move in diagonal, lurching motions towards Link, making them harder to avoid. Bloopers only appear in one passageway leading to the dungeon's Nightmare Key, and always appear in pairs. Unlike their Mario counterparts, they can be dealt with easily using any weapon in Link's arsenal, with the Sword being the most immediately effective.

Notes

  1. Bloopers were referred to as Bloobers in Encyclopedia.[1] However, as this contradicts the name given in Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch, it is not considered Canon.
