{{Term/Store|Kelpi|Kelpies|Series|plural}} are the mini-bosses of the [[Shrine of Water]] in {{ZA}}.<ref name="South Kelpi">{{Cite|I am the South Kelpi.

{{ | [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] faces three Kelpies throughout the Shrine of Water. The South Kelpi is first fought just shortly after the wooden bridge,<ref name="South Kelpi"/> the North Kelpi is fought second,<ref>{{Cite|I am the North Kelpi, guardian of the whirlpool that lies beyond!|Kelpi|ZA}}</ref> and the East Kelpi is fought third in the flooded passage of the later part of the Shrine.<ref>{{Cite|I'm the East Kelpi. I bar the way to my mistress, the wonderful Agwanda!|Kelpi|ZA}}</ref> The Kelpies must be defeated in order to proceed through the dungeon and to reach Agwanda, as their defeat will remove [[Floor Spike]]s that block the way ahead. | ||
The Kelpies can be defeated with the [[Spells of Zelda's Adventure#Turquoise Ring|Turquoise Ring]] [[Spells of Zelda's Adventure|Spell]], and take four hits of its projectiles to defeat. Since the Spell is very costly to use, Zelda should be advised to aim her Spell carefully to conserve [[Rupee]]s. They can also be defeated normally with Zelda's [[Items in Zelda's Adventure#Wand|Wand]], but requires many consecutive hits. | |||
==Nomenclature== | |||
Kelpi likely comes from {{Wp|Kelpie}}, a shape-shifting water spirit that is commonly described as appearing as a horse, but can assume human form. It may also be derived from {{Wp|kelp}}, a type of seaweed. | |||
