Characteristics

Peahats are flying plant or flower-like enemies. They propel themselves into the air with the use of their petals or leaves that are located either at their base or top, and achieve flight by rapidly spinning them, similar to helicopter blades. While in flight, they are beyond the reach of nearly all attacks; however, in most games, they cannot maintain flight for very long and eventually stop to rest. They can often be found in groups across various regions; mostly in fields or deserts, but occasionally withinDungeons as well. According toThe Legend of Zelda manual, they are the spirits of dead flowers.[6]

While most Peahats are hostile inThe Legend of Zelda series, others appear as benevolent fauna thatLink can use to aid him in his quest.Twilight Princess andSkyward Sword feature harmless Peahats that can fly perpetually, and whose bases may be grappled onto using theClawshot. These Peahats may move in a predetermined path, and act as transportation as Link is carried overhead.

The Legend of Zelda

Descriptionshide ▲
The Legend of Zelda instruction booklet
Peahat
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.

Peahats inThe Legend of Zelda are enemies found in theOverworld ofHyrule. They primarily congregate in the deserts and mountains of northeastern Hyrule, but also appear in smaller numbers near theLost Woods. Peahats flutter through the air, during which they are impervious to all attacks. They will periodically stop to rest before taking flight again, leaving themselves vulnerable. Peahats always appear in small groups, and often move in sporadic patterns, making them difficult to dodge at times. As they can fly across the entire screen, it is also possible for them to land on top of walls and trees, leaving them out of reach to attack. When defeated, Peahats may drop either aHeart, aFairy or oneRupee.[note 1]

Link's Awakening

Peahats inLink's Awakening behave identically to those fromThe Legend of Zelda; however, they only appear insideDungeons, and can be found in theAngler's Tunnel,Eagle's Tower, andTurtle Rock. Peahats appear in small groups, swiftly fly through the air, and periodically land, leaving them vulnerable to attack. Like their appearance fromThe Legend of Zelda, Peahats inLink's Awakening can fly across the entire screen, and may stop to rest on a wall or even in the middle of a pit.

Ocarina of Time

Descriptionshide ▲
Peahat
Its weak point is itsroots!

Peahats inOcarina of Time take on a much different form than previous appearances, resembling gigantic fruit-like plants with propeller leaves at their base. They only appear in the northern and southern corners ofHyrule Field whenLink is a child, away from any paths and crossroads. During the day, they sit quietly, and at night bury themselves into the ground with only their blossom showing. While Peahats will not actively search for Link, they will be provoked if he enters into their territory, and will uproot themselves and fly after him in attack. They attack either by swooping down at him with their leaf-like blades, or createPeahat Larvae, which are smaller versions that swarm after him. If attacked at night, Peahats will only release Peahat Larvae and will not emerge. Peahats' weak spots lie in the tiny root beneath their base. This root can be struck with theKokiri Sword to inflict damage.

Peahats are the only enemy that will drop two different kinds of loot at once, but on an uncommon basis.

Majora's Mask

APeahat. Just remember that its root area is soft!

A single Peahat is found inMajora's Mask, in aSecret Grotto inTermina Field. When defeated, aTreasure Chest containing aPiece of Heart is revealed.

Oracle of Seasons

Peahats inOracle of Seasons appear identically to theirLink's Awakening incarnation. They flutter through the air, during which they are invincible to all attacks, becoming vulnerable only when they stop to land. Like previous incarnations, they can still potentially land on a wall or other obstacles. They appear in theOverworld as well asDungeons, and can be encountered in theEastern Suburbs, theWoods of Winter,North Horon,Poison Moth's Lair, andUnicorn's Cave.

Oracle of Ages

Peahats inOracle of Ages appear identically to theirLink's Awakening incarnation. They flutter through the air, during which they are invincible to all attacks, becoming vulnerable only when they stop to land. Like previous incarnations, they can still potentially land on a wall or other obstacles. They can be found in theWing Dungeon,Moonlit Grotto,Skull Dungeon, andHero's Cave.

The Wind Waker

Descriptions
Peahat
Habitat: Forbidden Woods
Talent: Rotating

These strange creatures use their propeller-like wings to float in midair. They can be easily knocked out of the sky with either projectiles or a Deku Leaf.
Before obtaining the Boomerang
Aha! I see aPeahat! Fan him with theDeku Leaf to knock him down, then attack!
After obtaining the Boomerang

Uh-oh, I see aPeahat!

Hit it with aprojectile!

Peahats inThe Wind Waker are much smaller, appearing as bulbous plants with long, feather-like flowers. They are encountered on many islands, but primarily congregate in theForbidden Woods. Unlike previous incarnations, these Peahats do not stop to rest, and their flower-like propeller blades blockSword attacks, requiring them to first be stunned by another item. IfLink uses theDeku Leaf, they will be blown back and stunned with the gust of wind it produces. TheBoomerang can also be thrown to slice their petals off; however, the petals will regrow. Peahats may dropGolden Feathers when defeated, which theGrappling Hook can also steal from them.

The Minish Cap

Descriptionshide ▲
Peahat
Appears on Mount Crenel, etc.
These strange beasts hover on propeller-like leaves. You can pull them out of the sky with yourGust Jar.

Peahats inThe Minish Cap behave similarly to their past appearances; they slowly hover through the air and are impervious to allSword attacks while in flight. Unlike past incarnations, however, Peahats never stop to rest. Using theGust Jar, it is possible to drag them out of the air; a Peahat stuck to the Jar can be expelled and killed as it crashes into an obstacle. It is also possible to use theBoomerang to stun them, which will slice off their flower propeller blades. The Peahat will then hop around for a short time after regaining consciousness, and will eventually regrow its flowers if left alone. Peahats can also be dispatched with oneArrow. They appear frequently onMount Crenel.

A much more aggressive variety that carriesBombs also appears atVeil Falls. These Peahats fly much higher in the air and carry the Bombs beneath them. After swarming aroundLink, they will drop their Bombs, after which they will flutter close to the ground and attempt to slam into him. They can then return to the air and produce another Bomb. These Peahats are vulnerable only when they are close to the ground; however, they are still impervious to the Sword, and the Gust Jar and Boomerang will have no effect on them. Instead, these Peahats can only be defeated by shooting an Arrow at them.

Twilight Princess

Peahats inTwilight Princess resemble plants with thick roots that form a sac-like shape. They are harmless, providing transportation forLink by allowing him to grapple onto their roots with theClawshot. Some fly in a predetermined path, and may be used to carry Link over short distances, while others hover in place. Strings of Peahats can be grappled between one another with theDouble Clawshots, acting as a bridge between one area and the next. Peahats are able to support Link's weight, but will begin to descend if he is wearing theIron Boots. These Peahats are important in navigating theCity in the Sky and during the battle withArgorok.

Skyward Sword

Descriptionshide ▲

Target lock:Peahat

At first glance, this looks like any other plant species, but the Peahat has a unique ability to fly when the flower on its top is pulled off with awhip.

Peahats inSkyward Sword appear as benevolentClawshot targets, as they did inTwilight Princess. They resemble plant bulbs that fly using their flower heads. Submerged Peahats can also be found buried underground or underwater in certain areas, and can have their petals activated by using theWhip.

A Link Between Worlds

Peahats inA Link Between Worlds resemble bulbous flying plants that appear only during theBoss battle againstZaganaga. The Boss releases spawns of Peahats, which swiftly swarm afterLink; however, unlike their previous incarnations, they can be dispatched even during mid-flight.

Echoes of Wisdom

This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki byexpanding it.

Zelda's Adventure

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

InZelda's Adventure, Peahats act more likeOctoroks than their canonical kin. They never fly, instead opting to wander around in small groups on the ground. They have also developed the ability to shoot seeds. Early in the game, whenZelda's life meter is low, they are among the most dangerous enemies as they have high resilience and usually travel in groups of two to six members. However, once Zelda has obtained theMagic Shield, she will be able to block their projectile attacks, making them easier to defeat.

Link's Crossbow Training

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

Peahats appear inOocca Target Practice andGerudo Moldorm: Defender inLink's Crossbow Training. Although the main objective of the Oocca Target Practice Stage is the shoot the targets carried byOocca, the Peahats in the background may also be shot, which will cause them to descend slightly and giveLink one point each time they are shot. Shooting them withExploding Arrows, however, will completely destroy them and will grant 100 points. The very last one that appears will reveal a redFairy worth 1,000 points if it is destroyed with a Exploding Arrow.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

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

InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Peahats and their Larvae fromOcarina of Time appear as enemies in theSmash Run mode. They also appear as aTrophy.

Cadence of Hyrule

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

Peahats appear asEnemies inCadence of Hyrule, where they move to the beat of the music. They are largely stationary Enemies but will fly away when the heroes get too close. Before flying, the propeller on the top of their bodies will start to slowly spin, getting faster as they approach. Upon being approached, they will fly up and move on every other beat in any direction, including diagonal. Then, they will fly for several beats before returning to the ground to rest.

Notes

  1. IfLink defeats 10Enemies without getting hit or teleporting with theRecorder, then the 10th Enemy defeated will drop fiveRupees. However, if the 10th Enemy is defeated with aBomb, then it will drop four Bombs. If Link defeats 16 Enemies without getting hit or teleporting, then the 16th Enemy will drop aFairy. After the 16th Enemy, Link must get hit and reset the counter to zero in order to achieve this effect again. DefeatingArmos,Like Likes,Keese, orGels will not be counted.[7]
