{{Term/Store|Vire|Vires|Series, TLoZ, LA, LADX, OoS, OoA|plural}} are recurring enemies and {{Plural|Series|Sub-Boss}} in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 211 {{Exp Game|TLoZ, LA, LADX, OoS, OoA}}}}</ref>

First encountered in {{TLoZ}}, ''Vires'' are large, blue devils,<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= Vire is a devil that controls the Keeses.|game= Legend of Zelda|page= 35}}</ref> encountered only in labyrinths. When harmed, they split into two red-colored [[Keese]]s,<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= When Link cuts it with his sword, it turns into two Keeses.|game= Legend of Zelda|page= 35}}</ref> which float around the room like regular Keese. After dispatching the red Keeses, if Link exits and immediately returns to a room, the Vires will all be back, since they haven't truly been killed. If it is hurt by an [[Arrow]], the [[Magical Sword]], or any weapon which does at least four damage, it will be defeated without splitting up into Keeses. When defeated, Vires may drop either a [[Heart]], one [[Rupee]], four [[Bomb]]s or a [[Clock]].{{Note|If Link defeats 10 enemies without getting hit or teleporting with the Recorder, then the 10th enemy defeated will drop five Rupees. However, if the 10th enemy is defeated with a Bomb, then it will drop four Bombs. If Link defeats 16 enemies without getting hit or teleporting, then the 16th enemy will drop a Fairy. After the 16th enemy, Link must get hit and reset the counter to zero in order to achieve this effect again. Defeating Armoses, Like Likes, Keeses, or Gels will not be counted.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=|author= n.a.|published= n.d.|retrieved= August 17, 2017|url=http://redcandle.us/The_Legend_of_Zelda#Forced_drops|title=Forced Drops|site=redcandle.us}}</ref>}}

{{Term|OoA|Vire}} is the {{Term|OoA|Sub-Boss}} of the {{Term|OoA|Mermaid's Cave|link}}. {{Term|OoA|Vire}} introduces itself as the loyal henchman of {{Term|OoA|Veran|link}}, who was sent to put a stop to {{Term|OoA|Link|link}}'s quest. {{Term|OoA|Vire}} retains its appearance from {{LA|DX|-}} and battles {{Term|OoA|Link}} in a similar manner, flying around him and swooping in to strike, retreating when {{Term|OoA|Link}} swings his {{Term|OoA|Sword|link}}, and shooting various fireballs. Blue fireballs appear in pairs and travel in a straight path toward {{Term|OoA|Link}}; yellow fireballs split into six faster fireballs; and red fireballs continually follow {{Term|OoA|Link}} until they hit him or are dispelled by the {{Term|OoA|Sword}} or the {{Term|OoA|Boomerang|link}}.

{{Term|OoA|Vire}} can be damaged by timely {{Term|OoA|Sword}} strikes or {{Plural|OoA|Bomb|link}}. As it takes damage, it becomes more angry, increasing its movement speed and reflexes. After enough hits, it splits into two {{Plural|OoA|Keese}}-like bats that will attack by swooping at {{Term|OoA|Link}}, but can easily be dispatched with the {{Term|OoA|Sword}}. Once defeated, {{Term|OoA|Vire}} admits that it was overconfident in facing {{Term|OoA|Link}} but vows that its master will stop him. In a {{Term|OoA|Linked Game|link}}, {{Term|OoA|Vire}} expresses disbelief that {{Term|OoA|Link}} could defeat it twice, and apologizes to both {{Term|OoA|Veran}} and {{Term|OoA|Onox}} before disappearing.
