Although based on the puffball hero of the eponymous series, Anti-Kirbies are hostile enemies to [[Link]] that are encountered on the first floor of [[Eagle's Tower]]. They are described as "Kirby's evil twins" in the Nintendo Player's guide of the game.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= LA|publisher= Nintendo|page= 100}}</ref> Like the real Kirby, these enemies attack by periodically attempting to inhale Link into their gaping mouths. If they manage to swallow Link, they will briefly hold him for a moment before spitting him back out and causing damage. While they do not inflict much damage, they are among the most resilient enemies in the game, as few items are effective against them and the [[Sword]] will merely bounce off of them. They can only be defeated with two well-placed [[Bomb]]s, two hits from the [[Magic Rod]], or four hits from the [[Boomerang]]. Unusually, Anti-Kirbies will cause more damage simply by coming into contact with one than by being swallowed. | Although based on the puffball hero of the eponymous series, Anti-Kirbies are hostile enemies to [[Link]] that are encountered on the first floor of [[Eagle's Tower]].

==Trivia== | |||
*In the ''Kirby'' series, when Kirby copies the {{wk|Sword}} ability, he gains a floppy green cap and many moves similar to Link, such as the [[Down Thrust]] and firing [[Sword Beam]]s at full health. According to the booklet that comes with the game ''{{Wk|Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition}}'', this was done as a way to "return the favor" for Kirby's guest appearance in ''Link's Awakening''. | |||
