Characteristics

Link's Awakening

In Link's Awakening, they appear on Toronbo Shores. While they can not move and are not actively aggressive, they will damage Link if he touches them. He must push them out of the way using his Shield in order to reach his washed up Sword.[3] He can then use his Sword to destroy them with a single hit.

Four Swords Adventures

In Four Swords Adventures, the four Links cannot push or destroy them with any weapons are forced to either simply avoid them, or defeat other enemies in the area in order to make them disappear.
