Kyandokyan are Enemies in Oracle of Ages.[1][note 1]

Characteristics

Kyandokyan look similar to candles and appear to be made of wax, with a small wick on top of their bodies. They move in diagonal patterns. Kyandokyan are immune to almost all weapons except to fire. When lit by using an Ember Seed, they will begin to run around wildly until it explodes. It is best for Link to hide behind an object or use the Cane of Somaria to create a block once the creature is lit.

Notes

  1. Kyandokyan were referred to as Candleheads in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages—Official Strategy Guide by BradyGames.[2] However, as this contradicts the name given in Encyclopedia, it is not considered Canon.
