{{Term/Store|Boo|Boos|Series, LANS|plural}} are enemies in {{LA}}.<ref>{{Cite|You got a {{Color|LANS Pink|Boo figure}}! As spooky ghosts go, this one's pretty cute!|Game Screen|LANS}}</ref> They are directly based on the {{Smw|Boo}} enemies from the ''{{Smw|Mario (series)|Mario}}'' series.


'''Boos''' are ghost enemies from the ''[[Mario]]'' series of games, debuting in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. They made cameo appearances in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', where a pair of Boos guarded the [[Power Bracelet]]. They are killed by lighting the two torches and then swinging the sword at them, though the player could also just let them run away.
==Characteristics==
Boo Buddies only appear in a single dark room in the [[Bottle Grotto]], housing the [[Power Bracelet]]. Unlike their ''Mario'' counterparts, which are typically shy and hide when stared at, they do not shy away from [[Link]] and actively pursue him in the darkness of the room. When struck with the [[Sword]] they disappear, only to reappear elsewhere and continue their assault. They can only be defeated by lighting one of the [[torch]]es in the room with [[Magic Powder]]; doing so will weaken them and turn them dark as they flee in defeat. At this point, Link can strike them with his blade to destroy them, or wait until they have left, upon which point the [[Treasure Chest|chest]] containing the Power Bracelet will appear.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the ''Mario'' games, Boos can not be killed, and hide when looked at. This is not the case for their ''Zelda'' appearance.
*Using light to weaken or defeat enemies occurs in many later ''Zelda'' games. A number of enemies, such as [[ReDead]]s and [[Nocturn]] (a very similar ghost enemy), can be defeated in this way.
*In {{LANS}}, Boos are voiced by {{Smw|Sanae Suzaki}}, who voices them since {{Smw|Mario Power Tennis}}.

==Nomenclature==
[[Category:Enemies in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]
Boo Buddy's Japanese name, Teresa, comes from the Japanese word {{Romanize|照れる|Tereru||1}}, meaning "to be shy", fitting their bashful nature.
