Poe Sisters

The Poe Sisters are a group of four Poes who inhabit the Forest Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They consist of Joelle (orange), Beth (blue), Amy (green), and Meg (purple).

When Link enters the Forest Temple, the sisters each steal one of the flames required to operate the lift that leads to the boss (Phantom Ganon). Link must travel through the dungeon and destroy each of the sisters to regain the flames.

Joelle and Beth
These two are defeated in the same way and behave similarly to each other, but are in different rooms. Each starts by inhabiting one of three paintings in a small stairwell. When Link looks at one painting, the Poe simply flees to another. Once Link has the Bow, he can destroy all three paintings from a range so the Poe cannot escape. Once all three are gone, the Poe floats down to the bottom of the stairs and battles Link in a similar way to normal Poes.

Amy
When Link enters her room, she inhabits a single large painting taking up most of the wall. Link shoots the painting once, which does not destroy it, but causes five blocks to fall from the ceiling. He must then assemble four of these blocks to form the image of Amy in the painting (the fifth block is unused and simply serves to complicate the process). If he cannot complete this within the time limit the block flip over and he must start again. Once the picture is assembled, Amy leaves her painting and battles Link in the same way as Joelle and Beth.

Meg
Once Link has killed the first three sisters, he must return to the central room of the Forest Temple, from where the Poes stole their fires. Meg is seen crying in the centre. Link approaches her, and she attacks. Unlike her sisters, Meg splits herself into four identical images which surround Link. To defeat Meg, Link must use either his arrows or the Hookshot. The true Poe can be identified as she performs a small twirl as soon as all three copies appear. Once she is vanquished, the fourth and final flame returns to its torch and the lift taking Link to the boss is activated again.
