!!Enemies
[[folder:Minibosses]]
Monsters that, like true bosses, are fought in special chambers without any weaker enemies present, and who present a greater challenge than regular foes. However, unlike full bosses, defeating them doesn't end a dungeon or yield a Triforce shard.

!!Lanmola
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lanmola.png]]
->''A gigantic centipede. Attacking his head won't work. Boy! Does he move fast!''

A huge, swift one-eyed centipede. Lanmolas are only encountered in Level 9, where they're fought in groups of two.
----
* BigCreepyCrawlies: It's essentially a centipede much larger than Link or most other foes.
* {{Cyclops}}: It's got a single huge eye in the middle of its face.
* DualBoss: Lanmolas are always fought in pairs, requiring Link to keep track of both speedy menaces while trying to take each one out.
* SegmentedSerpent: A Lanmola's sprite is composed of four round segments and a head. Link must destroy them individually, beginning with the hindmost and ending with the head.

!!Moldorm
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_moldorm_artwork.png]]
->''The huge worm living in the labyrinths. It grows smaller as Link attacks. Not so strong.''

A huge earthworm creature, Moldorms is composed of distinct segments that are destroyed individually as Link attacks them. Moldorms are found in Level 2 and level 7.
----
* SegmentedSerpent: Moldorm is represented as a string of five red-and-orange circles. Unlike later games, they can be damaged anywhere on their bodies. Lanmola has a similar appearance, but with a large eye for its head segment.

!!Patra
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_patras_artwork.png]]
->''The Patra attack in groups, in two types of formations. Both formation groups are strong. So be on your toes!''

A swarm of flying eyeballs. Patra swarms are encountered only in Level 9.
----
* FacelessEye: Patras are swarms of flying eyeballs, with no other body parts besides wings.
* FlunkyBoss: The large central Patra uses its swarm of smaller minions both to defend itself and to attack Link, the former by using them as shields and the latter by sending them flying across the room.
* ReverseShrapnel: Two of the Patras make their smaller eyes enlarge their orbit periodically, while the third one makes them spin in gyroscope form.
* ShieldedCoreBoss: The large central eyeball is surrounded by a ring of smaller ones. All of the small eyes need to be defeated before the large one can be taken out.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Overworld]]
!!Armos
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_armos_artwork.png]]
->''A soldier who has been turned into a stone statue. He moves and attacks if touched by Link. He has a fair amount of attacking power.''

Statues that, unlike most statues in the game, start moving about if Link approaches. Some of them hide staircases or items that are revealed when they come to life.
----
* LivingStatue: They're statues that can move about, normally lying inert but awakening with Link's presence.
* MistakenForGranite: In their neutral state, they're entirely indistinguishable from the regular statuary that they're often found alongside -- until Link gets too close and they try to kill him, of course.
* TakenForGranite: The game manual states that they're actually soldiers turned into stone.

!!Ghini
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_ghini_artwork.png]]
->''The ghost who lives in the graveyard. There are two types. There are Ghinis who are there from the beginning of the game, and those who appear when Link touches the gravestones. Ghinis have about the same attacking force as Armos.''

One-eyed ghosts found in the graveyards in the west of the map. These spirits are found floating around headstones, and additional ones will spawn when Link touches the graces.
----
* BedsheetGhost: Their artwork depicts them as animated bedsheets with leering -- and, notably, two-eyed -- faces.
* {{Cyclops}}: They have a single gigantic eye in the middle of their foreheads. Their artwork, however, depicts them with two eyes.
* InvincibleMinorMinion: The ones spawned by disturbing graves cannot be harmed -- Link's attacks pass right through them.
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: Ghinis are cyclopean ghosts with large tongues that appear in the graveyards. They will increae in number if Link starts moving the tombstones. You have to defeat their leader so all of them disappear.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: One-eyed ghosts who appear when graves are disturbed.

!!Leever
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_leever_red_artwork.png]]
->''They live in the ground and eat up the energy of creatures that approach them. Blue Leevers are a little stronger, but the red ones don't have much attacking power.''

Strange creatures that pop in and out of the ground.
----
* EnergyAbsorption: The game manual states that Leevers attack by draining energy from their victims.
* MoleMonster: They burrow around randomly, remaining invulnerable to attack as long as they're beneath the surface.
* PinataEnemy: A mild example -- Red Leevers are somewhat more likely to drop Blue Rupees than other enemies. The best way to grind for money is a circuit starting with the Tektites and Leevers on the southern shore, up to a certain screen just south of the desert with blue Tektites, then south along the lake shore neer Level 1 for more Red Leevers, and repeat.

!!Lynel
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_lynel_blue_artwork.png]]
->''The guardian who attacks all those who come near Death Mountain. Watch out! He's pretty strong, and Link's little shield can't stop his sword.''

Powerful lion-headed centaurs who wander the slopes of Death Mountain.
----
* BeefGate: The Lynels that populate the Death Mountain area in the northwest of the map. They're by far the nastiest enemies you'll find in the overworld, with the orange Lynels taking four hits from the Wooden Sword to kill and the blue ones taking about seven, and both varieties shoot a sword projectile that requires the Magical Shield to deflect, while dealing a hefty two hearts of damage when they hit. A single one can easily slaughter a beginning player, and you will find swarms of them in the northwest, effectively keeping the player out of that region until they acquire some more hearts, the White Sword, the Magical Shield, and preferably the Blue Ring.
* BossInMookClothing: A lone blue Lynel blocks the path to the White Sword. While not as dangerous as the packs of Lynels that appear on Death Mountain, it is still the hardest-hitting enemy on the overworld with {{Sword Beam}}s that can only be deflected by the Magical Shield. This powerful enemy is positioned in such a way that it acts as a ThresholdGuardian to overcome before obtaining the White Sword, despite not being a true boss.
* OurCentaursAreDifferent: They resemble centaurs with the heads of lions.
* SwordBeam: They attack by firing sword beams similar to Link's, represented in-game by sword shapes fired in straight lines.

!!Moblin
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_molblin_blue_artwork.png]]
->''A bulldog-like goblin who lives in the forest. He attacks by throwing spears. A little bit meaner than Octorok.''

Dog-headed warriors who inhabit wooded areas around Hyrule. A few non-hostile ones can be found in hidden rooms, either bribing Link to leave them alone or requiring bribes to let him pass.
----
* BegoneBribe: "IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY." The Moblin is bribing Link to leave him alone and not tell anyone where he is.
* FoodAsBribe: In the seventh dungeon, you have to buy a bait to pass a particularly hungry Moblin enemy.
* TokenHeroicOrc: A handful of Goblins serve as merchants or passive [=NPCs=].

!!Octorok
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_octorok_red_artwork.png]]
->''A type of octopus that lives above ground. There are two types, red and blue. Watch out for the blue ones. They're mean. They spit out rocks at Link.''

Funnel-mouthed octopi that wander Hyrule's overworld, spitting rocks at Link.
----
* FunnelMouthedCephalopod: Their sprite shows them with a projecting funnel mouth from which they spit their rocks. Their artwork, however, goes for a toothy maw instead.
* TheGoomba: They're one of the earliest and weakest enemies fought in the game, only providing a meaningful obstacle early on and largely serving to teach the player how the sword and shield work.

!!Peahat
[[quoteright:177:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_peahat_artwork.png]]
->''Has little attacking power. This is the ghost of a flower that bounces and flutters around the place. Link can eliminate it only when it's standing still.''

Flower-like flying enemies.
----
* AirborneMook: They hover in the air with the flower-like petals above their heads and tend to move from one spot to another in a straight line, and become invulnerable when airborne.
* HeliCritter: They fly by whirling their leaves like helicopter blades.
* NonHumanUndead: According to the game's manual, peahats are the ghosts of flowers.

!!Tektite
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_tektite_blue_artwork.png]]
->''These spidery things jump about all over the place. Red ones move about a lot and blue ones move only a little. Tektites have little fighting power.''

One-eyed hopping arthropods, found on the slopes of mountain areas.
----
* FourLeggedInsect: Arachnid, in this case. Tektites have just four legs despite being loosely based on spiders.
* {{Oculothorax}}: Tektites are essentially armor-plated eyeballs with jointed legs.
* PinataEnemy: A mild example -- Blue Tektites are somewhat more likely to drop Blue Rupees than other enemies. The best way to grind for money is a circuit starting with the Tektites and Leevers on the southern shore, up to a certain screen just south of the desert with blue Tektites, then south along the lake shore neer Level 1 for more Red Leevers, and repeat.

!!Zola
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_zola_artwork.png]]
->''Half-fish, half-woman who lives in the water. When she sticks her head out of the water she lets out a ball that Link's little shield can't hold back.''

Fish people who live in Hyrule's waterways and spit fireballs at Link.
----
* EarFins: They have large rayed fins where a human would have ears, as part of their fish person appearance.
* FishPeople: They're monstrous, humanoid fishes with scaly skin and webbed fins instead of hair.
* {{Fireballs}}: Their method of attack is to spit balls of fire at Link.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Their Japanese name uses a phoneme intermediate between the English "r" and "l". This game's English dub uses the "Zola" translation, while all future ones would use "Zora".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Underworld]]
!!Bubble
[[quoteright:231:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_bubble_artwork.png]]
->''The spirit of the dead. When it clings onto Link, he won't be able to unsheath his sword for a while.''

Floating, glowing spheres, Bubbles temporarily remove Link's ability to use his sword if they touch him.
----
* FlyingFace: They're disembodied flying skulls.
* HelpfulMook: Blue Bubbles (which only appear in the second quest) do not damage Link at all. Their only function is to remove the "no sword use" curse that Red Bubbles can inflict on Link. This marks a contrast with the enemy's eventual appearances in ''Majora's Mask'' and ''The Wind Waker'', where the Blue Bubble ''inflicts'' the curse on Link (though it wears off after a while).
* InvincibleMinorMinion: There's absolutely no way to kill them or remove them from the map; the only thing to do when they appear is avoid them as best as possible.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: The manual describes them as the spirits of the dead.
* WreathedInFlames: While it's not immediately obvious from their sprite, their artwork shows them wreathed in ghostly flames.

!!Darknut
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_darknut_artwork.png]]
->''The knight who lives in the labyrinths. He has lots of attacking power. He repels Link's attacks from the front with his shield.''

Armored knights, Darknuts are among the toughest common foes found in dungeons.
----
* CleanDubName: They're known as Tartnucs in Japanese. The change was likely due to the name "Tartnuc" forming the words "cunt rat" when spelled backwards.
* ShieldBearingMook: The Darknuts have shields that protect their fronts from attack.

!!Gibdo
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_gibdo_artwork.png]]
->''The mummy man. He's got some strange powers, and some pretty powerful attacking force.''

A mummy with simple attacks but a lot of health.
----
* {{Mummy}}: Bandage-shrouded undead found wandering in mazelike catacombs.
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: Gibdos are large mummies that roam erratically in the later dungeons of the game, and require several attacks with the sword to be defeated.

!!Goriya
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_blue_goriya_artwork.png]]
->''A little devil that lives underground. He uses boomerangs. There are two of his type, blue ones and red ones. Watch out for the blue ones! They are strong.''

Dog-people who throw boomerangs.
----
* BattleBoomerang: They fight using their own version of the Boomerang item, which they send spinning around their rooms to damage Link if they hit him. Defeating groups of them is necessary for obtaining the Boomerang and Magical Boomerang.
* FoodAsBribe: In the some dungeons, you have to give a bait to a hungry Goriya to get it to stop blocking a passageway.

!!Like Like
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_like_like_artwork.png]]
->''A tube-like monster that has a soft spot for magic shields -- he eats them up.''

Bizarre creatures that try to consume Link's Magical Shield, transforming it into a simple shield.
----
* MooksAteMyEquipment: If you let one touch you, it envelops you and you can kiss your Magical Shield (if you have one) goodbye. Your only chance to escape without losing your Magical Shield is to have the Magical Sword and give it the required three stabs as quickly as possible. If you have anything less than the Magical Sword, you'd better hope you were caught by one that has already taken damage!

!!Pols Voice
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_pols_voice_artwork.png]]
->''A ghost with big ears and a weak point -- he hates loud noise.''

Whiskered, large-eared creatures. They're defeated by blowing in the game system's microphone... or, at least, by doing so in game systems that have one.
----
* BossInMooksClothing: In the second quest, the Pols Voice act as an enemy equivalent to the EarlyBirdBoss, as they first appear well before the weapon necessary to OneHitKO them, the bow and arrow. With the sword, they take many hits to kill, and are difficult to strike with their erratic "jump" movements. This only applies to the English version: in the Japanese version, they can be killed just as easily as in the first quest by shouting into the Famicom controller's microphone.
* DifficultyByRegion: Pols Voices are much harder to deal with outside Japan. This becomes most apparent in the second quest, where they appear before the bow. As mentioned elsewhere, its vulnerability to sound refers to the microphone the Famicom has but the NES doesn't, and they take a ''lot'' of sword hits and are clustered together. Since you're supposed to talk into your controller and watch them die, not fight them, they become ''terrible'' enemies where that doesn't work (for instance, the 2021 Game & Watch release has no microphone, so the Pols Voice has ''neither'' weakness in the Famicom version). Later games do make them vulnerable to musical items (ironically, without hinting at it, meaning that you're supposed to remember this game and try something that ''didn't work!'')
* DubInducedPlotHole: The manual includes the hint that the Pols Voice "hates loud noises". At no point in the localized version of the game does this come into play. It's referencing a trick on the Japanese (Famicom Disk System) version, in which Pols Voices could be killed by shouting into the microphone built into the controller. However, when the Famicom was released in the West as the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem, it didn't have the microphone, but the description in the manual was unchanged. American gamers wasted a ''lot'' of time trying to kill them by playing the recorder, not helped by the presence of a boss who ''is'' injured by the recorder. And when the enemy reappeared on the Nintendo DS it was back to using the microphone.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: According to the game's manual, these bizarre large-eared things are in fact ghosts.
* ParadiegeticGameplay: In the Famicom Disk System version, the Pols Voice enemy is killed by yelling in the microphone in the Famicom's second controller. Each Japanese rerelease changes it so Pols Voices can be killed with a different method, such as pressing Select 4 times in the GBA version, or pressing L and R to virtually "switch" to the second controller and yell into the 3DS's microphone in the 3DS version. In all English releases, including the NES version, the enemy is instead weak to arrows, as the NES does not have a microphone.

!!Rope
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_rope_artwork.png]]
->''A poisonous snake that has made the labyrinths its home. It senses other creatures quickly and suddenly comes after them (and Link, for that matter!) once it has found them out. This one hasn't got a lot of attacking power.'''

A regular if aggressive snake, Rope is one of the simpler foes that Link faces in the labyrinths.
----
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Name aside, they're perfectly ordinary snakes.
* TookALevelInBadass: Ropes in the second quest go from being a free kill to a significant obstacle, as they now take several hits to kill instead of one.

!!Stalfos
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_stalfos_artwork.png]]
->''A skeleton that's got a sword in each hand. Little attacking power.''

A skeleton with two swords, Stalfos wander around randomly and don't take much effort to defeat.
----
* DemBones: The game marks the debut of the Stalfos, the skeletons who wander around in dungeons. They get upgraded to firing sword beams in the second quest.
* DualWielding: Stalfos fight with a sword in each hand.
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: They're skeletal soldiers that can be found in the dungeons. They're not too difficult to defeat, but it's important to land Link's attacks onto them accurately, as they tend to jump backwards to dodge them.
* SwordBeam: In the second quest, Stalfos can fire swords like Link and Lynels do.
* TookALevelInBadass: Stalfos in the second quest go from being a free kill to being quite a threat, as they now know how to throw swords at Link, dealing two hearts of damage if he comes into the path of them.

!!Vire and Keese
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_vire_and_keese.png]]
->''Vire is a devil that controls the Keeses. When Link cuts it with his sword, it turns into two Keeses. Keeses have little attacking power, but Vire is a little stronger.''

Keese are large bats found fluttering around in many dungeons. Vire are batlike demons that split into Keese when struck. A Vire's component Keese may be killed, but the demon will simply resurrect afterwards; killing it permanently requires striking it down with a weapon strong enough to exhaust all of its health in one hit.
----
* AsteroidsMonster: Vires split into two Keese on death, but only if struck with a weapon under a certain power level. In order to kill them in one go, they require Magic Sword or Bomb (Silver Arrows also work, although you're only likely to use this strategy in [[GameMod ROM hacks]] of the game since the Silver Arrows can't be collected before level 9 and there aren't any Vires in level 9 of either quest).
* BatOutOfHell: Keese are a kind of large aggressive bat, while Vires are demonic bat-like imps that split into two Keese when killed.
* BatPeople: Vires resemble humanoid bats with separate arms and wings. They're a stronger variant of the common, entirely batlike Keese, and split into multiple Keese when killed.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Keese are essentially just bats by another name.
* ExtraEyes: Vires have four eyes, one pair above the other.
* TheGoomba: Keese are pretty weak, and can be defeated with a single arrow or sword strike.

!!Wallmaster
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_wallmaster_artwork.png]]
->''A monster hand that appears out of the labyrinth wall. If it catches Link, it takes him back to the entrance to the labyrinth.''

Disembodied hands that try to drag Link back to the labyrinths' entrances.
----
* AmbushingEnemy: The Wallmasters are disembodied hands that creep out of the wall and, if they hit Link, drag him back to the entrance of the dungeon. They're also quite generous with dropping blue Rupees and life hearts though, and they aren't that durable, so players who aren't creeped out by them may be happy to encounter them.
* AnimateBodyParts: They're living, disembodied hands that attack by grabbing Link and trying to carry him away.
* HarmlessEnemy: Wallmasters cannot actually damage Link -- they simply reset his physical position in the dungeon, which while annoying doesn't actually harm him -- and can in fact prove very helpful if the player wants to to head back out or to escape a fight that's going poorly.
* MookBouncer: They reside in the dungeons and take Link back to the first room if they catch him.

!!Wizzrobe
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tloz_blue_wizzrobe_artwork.png]]
->''The Master of Movement. He appears here and there letting out magic spells that Link's little shield can't hold back. He's pretty strong. Watch out!''

Robed wizards that teleport around while firing magic.
----
* GlassCannon: Red Wizzrobes' spells deal twice as much damage as those of Blue Wizzrobes -- tied with Ganon himself for the most damage of any enemy in the game, in fact -- but take less hits to kill at exactly one Magical Sword attack, do less damage on bumping into them than the Blue ones, and have movement patterns that leave them more vulnerable.
* InTheHood: Their faces are completely covered by a hood.
* ShadowedFaceGlowingEyes: Their sprites and are depict them with faces entirely cast in shadow by their hats or hoods, with only a pair of eyes visible within.
* TeleportSpam: Their attack strategy is to fire off a bolt of magic, teleport to a random spot of the room, fire again, teleport again, and repeat ''ad nauseam''.

!!Zol and Gel
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zol_and_gel.png]]
->''Jelly-like monsters that walk about bouncing around in the labyrinths. When Link cuts Zol, it splits into two Gels. Gel has little attacking power, but Zol has twice the power of Gel.''

Jelly-like monsters. A Zol will split into smaller Gels if struck.
----
* AsteroidsMonster: Zols split into two Gels on death, but only if struck with a weapon under a certain power level. In order to kill them in one go, they require the White Sword, Arrow or Magic Rod.
* BlobMonster: They're small, rounded, hopping balls of slime that split into smaller copies of themselves when killed. The game's manual shows them as slimy, dripping, messy things.

* BeefGate: The Manhandla that is the boss of Level Three is incredibly hard to kill with any weapon weaker than the White Sword; it has four different heads to kill, each one takes four strikes with the Wooden Sword to destroy, and it gets progressively faster and harder to dodge as it loses its heads. It's very difficult to pass it before getting the White Sword (or before learning about Manhandla's bomb weakness).
