Template:Boss Patra is a mini-boss in The Legend of Zelda.

Strategy

Template:TLoZManual Patra is a mini-boss in Level-9, composed of a single flying eye surrounded by several smaller flying eyes. Patra comes in two varieties,^[1] denoted by the pattern in which the outer ring of eyes behaves. While both types spin their smaller eyes around the center one, one variety has the outer circle expand and contract, while the other variety's smaller eyes rotate like a gyroscope. Before Link can defeat the main eye, he must attack the smaller ones first. Patra is only vulnerable to the Sword and to the Magical Rod; however, it is only affected by direct contact with the rod, as neither the beams nor the Book of Magic flames harm it.

+Patra is a mini-boss in [[Level-9]], composed of a single flying eye surrounded by several smaller flying eyes. Patra comes in two varieties,<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= The Patra attack in groups, in two types of formations. Both formation groups are strong.

-==Characteristics and Weaknesses==
-Stingers generally travel in packs and scour below the surface of their domain, keeping them from harm and allowing them to sense vibrations nearby. When such a disruption is heard, Stingers will launch themselves in the air and float around their enemy.
+==Other Appearances==
-Since Stingers are so fragile, they usually maintain a long distance from their opponent, and thus can usually only be killed with items such as the [[Hookshot]], [[Boomerang]], and [[Slingshot#Ocarina of Time|Fairy Slingshot]]. However, it is possible to kill Stingers with a jump attack when they are in shallow water. Link must line up behind the Stinger and perform a jump slash to take down the enemy. It will not work if the stinger flies at Link, however. If Link uses the Boomerang on a Stinger mid-flight, it will fall to the ground and flail until it recovers, making it susceptible to other weapons. Stingers can also be killed by being hit with [[Princess Ruto]]. When Link is hit by a Stinger, an electric shock is given to Link, making him fall back, and scream.
