Characteristics

---

---

Link's Awakening

---

---

In Link's Awakening, Beamos appear as stationary Statues in Turtle Rock. Their Eye turns in a 360 degrees circle and if they spot Link, they will start shooting laser beams at him. The beams can be reflected back at the Beamos with the Mirror Shield, temporarily disabling them.

Ocarina of Time

Navi

Beamos
Watch out for its searching beam! I bet it doesn't like smoke to get in its eye!

---

---

In Ocarina of Time, Beamos consist of a stationary body with a rotating Eye on top that first appear Dodongo's Cavern. If they spot Link, they will shoot beams at him until they hit or he leaves their range. These beams can be blocked using a Shield. Beamos can be destroyed using Bombs.

Tingle Tuner

Before obtaining the Hero's Bow

Ack! A Beamos!

For now...flee!

After obtaining the Hero's Bow

It's a Beamos!

Shoot an arrow into its eye when it glows!

In The Wind Waker, Beamos first appear in the Tower of the Gods. They are initially dormant and will fire beams that will damage Link and knock him back when he approaches. Their Eyes are vulnerable to attack by the Bow or Bombs during their attack as well as for a short time before and after it. Beamos come in two varieties: red-eyed Beamos that track Link as they fire their beams, and blue-eyed Beamos that fire continuous beams on a fixed path to block Link.

Destroying the rightmost Beamos outside of Gohdan's room will always drop a Fairy.

---

---

Twilight Princess

---

---

In Twilight Princess, two varieties of Beamos exist: a larger brown type in the Goron Mines and minor caves that are able to shoot fire beams, and a thinner white version in the Temple of Time, which shoots pink beams of energy. The white variants can be destroyed by the statue Link controls with the Dominion Rod.

Beamos can be destroyed by shooting their Eyes with the Bow or attacking them with the Ball and Chain.

Phantom Hourglass

In Phantom Hourglass, Beamos are found in the Temple of Courage and Goron Temple. They are tall stone pillars with singular rotating Eyes that fire beams at Link if they see him in range. Beamos are indestructible but can be temporarily stunned by shooting their Eyes with the Bow.

Skyward Sword

Descriptionshide ▲

Fi

Target lock: Beamos

This is an ancient security mechanism. Its weak point is its eye. The eye is also a weapon that fires a focused energy beam.

I calculate a 100% failure rate at any attempt to strike the eye with your sword while it is still on top of the pedestal.

I recommend using a weapon that can strike at high targets. Conversely, you could lower its head to a height your sword can reach.

In Skyward Sword, Beamos appear as multi-layered poles composed of electrified sections. The head of the Beamos turns in a rigid, mechanical motion as opposed to moving fluently. The beams they shoot are electrified, which will cause Link more harm if he attempts to block it with an Iron Shield. As they are mechanical creations from the past, they are shown to have crumbled into a pile of stone after many years, but will be returned to life as do other Enemies when under the effects of an activated Timeshift Stone.

Beamos can be defeated by slicing apart different sections of their body and stabbing the Eyes. However the Bow is also effective at immediately dispatching them by striking the Eyes directly. They can be stunned by blocking their beams with a Shield, with the exception of an Iron Shield. Using the Gust Bellows on the wing-like structures on the sides of their heads will also cause them to become dizzy and stunned for a short time.

---

Tri Force Heroes

In Tri Force Heroes, Beamos have a slightly different appearance. Instead of a rotating tower, as in previous games, they are spherical in shape and sit atop stone pillars where they scan their surroundings and fire laser beams when they spot one of the Links. They can only be reached by forming a Totem, and can then be attacked by shooting Arrows at them. It takes a couple Arrow shots to defeat them, however if their Eyes are successfully shot as they rotate, they are instantly defeated. Once they have been defeated, they will roll towards the Links while flashing, and eventually explode. This behavior is very similar to Armos.

Breath of the Wild

In Breath of the Wild, Beamos appear only in certain Ancient Shrines, such as Sheh Rata Shrine. They constantly emit a dangerous blue laser straight forward, that can be blocked with any Shield. They are stationary, but they are occasionally placed on movable platforms. Some Beamos can be picked up.

Tears of the Kingdom

Main article: Beam Emitter

In Tears of the Kingdom, like other Ancient Technology of the Sheikah, Beamos are absent, being replaced by the Beam Emitter.

Echoes of Wisdom

Descriptionshide ▲

Notebook

Beamos

Any foe in this strange creature's field of vision will be struck by its eyebeams. Under threat, it hardens like rock.

---

---

In Echoes of Wisdom, Beamos are stout Enemies with blue bodies and singular, large Eyes. They fire quick, singular laser beams. When attacked, they turn themselves into stone, preventing them from being damaged by anything other than explosions. When summoned as an Echo, they have an Echo cost of three.

Hyrule Warriors

Non-Canon Information

The following section is not part of the Zelda canon and should not be taken as such.

In Hyrule Warriors, Beamos typically appear inside of Keeps, or rarely outside of them, in various Stages of the game. They shoot magical beams into the floor in a straight path which then explode sequentially. They are primarily susceptible to Bombs, as regular attacks are ineffective against them. Despite their weakness to Bombs, blasts from Bomb Flowers do not harm them.

Special Attacks are also capable of defeating Beamos, as Special Attacks are capable of bypassing an enemy's defense. This is evidenced by the fact that when using Focus Spirit, regular attacks break its "shield" and eventually are capable of defeating it. Powerful Focus Spirit attacks are also capable of defeating Beamos in the same manner.

Cadence of Hyrule

Non-Canon Information

The following section is not part of the Zelda canon and should not be taken as such.

Beamos appear as Enemies in Cadence of Hyrule where they move to the beat of the music. While their bodies are stationary, their single eye rotates around them on every single beat, lighting up for one music beat when spotting either Cadence, Link, Yves, or Zelda when they pass by, and then firing a laser at them on the following beat. Their laser can fire in any direction, including diagonally, and also deal damage to enemies that accidentally walk into their line of fire. Beamos only possess 2 hearts.

Trivia

• In Ocarina of Time, when targeting a Beamos, Navi says that it does not like smoke. This quote is similar to the Old Man's hint in Level 2 in The Legend of Zelda, where he says that "Dodongo Dislikes Smoke."
• The Beamos, Dexivines, Vines, and Warships in The Wind Waker are the only enemies in the game that cannot be made into a Nintendo Gallery Figurine. Giving a picture of one to Carlov will result in him making an Armos Figurine.
