==Characteristics==
While not actively aggressive, they will block paths to stop [[Link]] from passing by and cause damage if Link touches them. In {{LA}} they appear on Toronbo Shores and can only be passed by pushing them out of the way using the [[Shield]]. Once Link has the [[Sword]] however, he can destroy them with a single swipe. In {{FSA}} however, the four [[Links]] cannot push or destroy them with any weapons to hand and they are forced to either simply avoid them, or defeat other enemies in the area in order to make them disappear.
