In {{TLoZ}}, a Digdogger appears as the Boss of [[Level-5 (The Legend of Zelda)|Level-5]]. To defeat it, [[Link]] must play the [[Recorder]] to shrink the creature into a smaller version of itself. Link can then defeat Digdogger with his [[Sword]]. Another Digdogger appears in [[Level-7 (The Legend of Zelda)|Level-7]]. Using the Recorder will split the creature into three smaller versions of itself,<ref>{{Cite book|quote=Digdogger hates music. Shrink him down to size by using the whistle.|book=NES Game Atlas|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=55}}</ref> which can be defeated with the Sword.

In {{OoS}}, Digdogger appears as the Boss of the [[Unicorn's Cave]].<ref>{{Cite book|quote=Dungeon Boss DIGDOGGER<br>By now, you've learned that any tool that you find in a dungeon will be instrumental in fighting that dungeon's boss. You can steer the giant spiked ball into {{Typo|Digdoger|Digdogger}} with the Magnetic Gloves.|book=The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=39}}</ref> Using the [[Magnetic Gloves]] at north polarity, Link can cause the spiked ball that lays in the boss area to smash into Digdogger. After a few smashes from the spiked ball, the Digdogger will split into its smaller versions. Link must then hit each of them with the spiked ball or his Sword to defeat them.

*[[Vitreous]], the boss of [[Misery Mire (A Link to the Past)|Misery Mire]] from {{ALttP}}, is called {{Romanize|ゲルドーガ|Gerudōga|Geldogger|2}} in Japanese. The suffix "-dogger," in addition to its eyeball appearance, connects it to Digdogger.

*Although described as a sea urchin in the international manual,<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= Big sea urchins. In spite of their big bodies, they shrivel up when attacked. But watch out! The come on pretty strong.|game= TLoZ|page= 38}}</ref> the Japanese manual describes it as a giant Unira,<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= A giant Unira. Due to its enormous size, shockwaves will cause its body to shrivel up. However, it has powerful offensive strength.|game= TLoZ|page= }}</ref> an urchin monster from'' {{wp|Clu Clu Land}}''. In that game, an Unira will become stunned if Bubbles, the protagonist, uses a sound attack on it. Using the recorder to defeat Digdogger may be a reference to this.
