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.

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.

After a few smashes from the spiked ball, the Digdogger will split into [[Mini Digdogger]]s. Link must then hit each of them with the spiked ball or his Sword to defeat them.
