Guma
- This article is about the enemy in The Adventure of Link. For the boss, see Gooma.
Guma are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.[1]
Characteristics
The Adventure of Link
Guma resemble giant bulls and constantly hurl chain hammers in an upward arc. If Link can get under the arc of the attacks, he can strike without being hurt. They are common throughout Parapa Palace.
Other Appearances
Captain N: The Game Master
A monster resembling a Guma briefly appears in the "Quest for the Potion of Power" episode of Captain N: The Game Master. As Link, Princess Zelda and Kevin are making their way through the Parapa Palace, a Guma throws a hammer at Link's hand, which causes him to drop his sword. Before the Guma has another chance to attack, Kevin defeats the foe using his Zapper.
