Water Tektite

Water Tektites are enemies found in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. They appear for the first and only time inside the Swamp Palace. Water Tektites are small green spider-like creatures that skim above the water. They do not look or act like regular Tektites. Water Tektites attack method consists of drifting into Link, and they can easily be defeated with Link's Sword or any of his other weapons. In the last stretch of dungeon before the boss, these creatures appear in deep water below a ledge. Since Link cannot attack while swimming, he has no way to attack them and must simply jump into the water and avoid them as best he can.
