Like Like

Like Likes were cylindrical monsters that had the ability to suck in something as big as a human and consume items that they carried. They especially loved shields and tunics, considering them a delicacy, though they would leave the devoured item if killed shortly after. Like Likes were generally yellowish in color and dissolved into a puddle when killed, although some came in different colors and sometimes they'd simply disappear when killed. Like Likes had been found in Hyrule, Koholint Island, Termina, Holodrum, and Labrynna.

Tatl: "You know about the Like Like, right? It eats whatever you're carrying. You'd better defeat it if you want your stuff back."

Their name's origin is suggested in a Hylian proverb, going "shield eaters and world leaders have many likes alike."

Rupee Like
Rupee Likes are a new species of Like Like, and are found in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. The Rupee Like dangles a Rupee or a Force gem above its body like an angler fish. It lies in wait completely invisible, looking merely like a single red, blue, or green Rupee lying on the ground, but if the player touches the Rupee or swings their sword or throws their boomerang or does any other action that would normally collect the Rupee, the Rupee Like strikes. When it swallows the player it slowly sucks Rupees out of them. The amount taken is determined by the color of the Rupee on the Rupee Like (green 1, blue 5, red 20) If the player kills the Rupee Like, they get the Rupee the Rupee Like was dangling, and can also recover some of the Rupees that were eaten. Link can also use the Pegasus Boots to grab the Rupee before the Rupee Like has time to emerge from the ground.

Deku Like These Like Likes are found in The Legand of Zelda:Twilight Princess. They are immobile and if Link jumps over them,they will eat him and throw him back out.

Appearances
Like Likes appear in later versions of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past in only one room in the Palace of the Four Swords. As in other Zelda games, the Like Likes in A Link to the Past steal your shield. Like Likes do not normally appear anywhere in this game.
