Template:Enemy Aeralfos are recurring enemies and bosses in Template:LZS. They are winged reptilian enemies that are usually armed with swords and shields.

Characteristics and Weaknesses

Twilight Princess

File:Aeralfos Clawshot.png

Link shooting his Clawshot at the Aeralfos's Shield

In Twilight Princess, the Aeralfos appear as mini-bosses. One is first encountered in City in the Sky, and later in Hyrule Castle. They also appear in the Cave of Ordeals as well. Their wings give them the ability to initially avoid most of Link's attacks with the Sword and other weapons. They are lightly armored and bear a tribal loincloth adorned with sharp fangs. They wield a Sword and Shield in combat.

When Link first encounters an Aeralfos, it will hover in the air, far out of his reach. It will frequently make dive attacks but will also raise its Shield before doing so to block any projectiles Link may use to stop him from initiating the attack. When its Shield is raised in this fashion, Link can use the Clawshot to latch onto its Shield and pull the Aeralfos down to the ground so that he can attack it with his Sword. As long as Link can maneuver around the Aeralfos' attacks and strike where it is unprotected, it will be unable to get back into the air.

The Aeralfos which Link encounters in the City in the Sky uses slightly different tactics than others of its kind. It will frequently fly through various large holes in the room and try to confuse Link. This forces him to constantly be alert and searching for the opening from which it will strike next. If Link can pinpoint the Aeralfos, he can use his Clawshot before the Aeralfos initiates its dive attack. Once the Aeralfos is on the ground, Link can defeat it in the same fashion as the rest of its kind. The Aeralfos guards the dungeon's item, which is a second Clawshot.

Tri Force Heroes

In Tri Force Heroes, Aeralfos appear as enemies in the last Stage of Dragon Citadel.^[1] They fly in the air and attempt to dive at the Links below, and attack them with their sword. They can be dangerous enemies to contend with, as their attacks can potentially inflict a lot of damage at once. Their backsides however are unprotected, so the Links can attack it from behind after it dives to attack. This is especially effective if a Link provokes an Aeralfos to dive towards him, and the other Links attack it from behind.

A stronger variant called a Super Aeralfos appear as enemies in the Sky Temple.^[2] These Aeralfos are blue in color, and are encountered at the temple's gateway, right before the Links' fight with Lady Maud. These Aeralfos attack similarly to their other variant, but can also breathe fire which will burn the Links if they are caught. These Aeralfos are fought in the same manner, in that the Links can strike their backsides.

Other Appearances

Ambiguously Canon Information

Link's Crossbow Training

Aeralfos in Link's Crossbow Training

In Link's Crossbow Training, Aeralfos appear as enemies in Level 7: City in the Sky. Their attack patterns are similar to their Twilight Princess appearance; they dive-bomb at Link while defending themselves with their shields. However, their attack can be interrupted after being shot by the Crossbow, after which they will fly around the field momentarily. They can be taken out in one shot with a charged up Bomb Arrow.

Non-Canon Information

Hyrule Warriors

File:HWL VS Aeralfos Icon.png

Aeralfos appear as elite enemies in Hyrule Warriors. They move around the battle field by flying close to the ground, and attack their enemies by swooping down at them. Aeralfos possess a number of other attacks as well, including breathing fire. Aeralfos may breathe a stream of fire around them before briefly landing, or stab the ground with a thrust of their sword, creating a small shockwave. Whenever they land, their Weak Point Gauge is exposed, leaving them open to direct attack. Like the Aeralfos of Twilight Princess, their shields can also be grappled onto using the Hookshot while they are in flight. Doing so lets the attacking Warrior strike them midair, and also exposes their Weak Point Gauge.

When defeated, they may drop Aeralfos Leather as Bronze Material, and occasionally Round Aeralfos Shields as Silver Material.

File:HWL VS Fiery Aeralfos Icon.png

An alternate variant called Fiery Aeralfos also appears. They appear as red-colored Aeralfos with blue wings, although their attack strategy and weakness are identical to their common counterparts. When defeated, they may drop Fiery Aeralfos Leather as Bronze Material, and occasionally Fiery Aeralfos Wings as Silver Material.

+In {{TP}}, the Aeralfos appear as mini-bosses. One is first encountered in [[City in the Sky]], and later in [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]]. They also appear in the [[Cave of Ordeals]] as well. Their wings give them the ability to initially avoid most of [[Link]]'s attacks with the Sword and other weapons. They are lightly armored and bear a tribal loincloth adorned with sharp fangs. They wield a Sword and Shield in combat.

As long as Link can maneuver around the Aeralfos' attacks and strike where it is unprotected, it will be unable to get back into the air.
-To ready an attack, King Dodongo inhales air, and releases a blast of damaging flame if allowed to inhale completely; during this time, Link can toss [[Bomb]]s, or a nearby [[Bomb Flower]], into its mouth. If successful, the bomb will explode inside, causing King Dodongo to collapse. King Dodongo is vulnerable to [[Sword]] attacks at this time, the [[Critical Point]] of the battle. If Link does not apply enough damage during the Critical Point, King Dodongo will rear up, curl into a ball, and roll around the arena. If Link stands close to the lava, the external walls, or hides beneath or behind the [[Shield]], he can avoid damage. King Dodongo hits an arena wall at the end of its rampage; it unfolds and moves about until Link is close enough to target again, repeating the cycle.
+The Aeralfos which Link encounters in the City in the Sky uses slightly different tactics than others of its kind. It will frequently fly through various large holes in the room and try to confuse Link. This forces him to constantly be alert and searching for the opening from which it will strike next. If Link can pinpoint the Aeralfos, he can use his Clawshot before the Aeralfos initiates its dive attack. Once the Aeralfos is on the ground, Link can defeat it in the same fashion as the rest of its kind. The Aeralfos guards the dungeon's item, which is a second Clawshot.
-When defeated, King Dodongo curls into a ball and rolls into the lava pit. The lava hardens, trapping King Dodongo, half-submerged. Link receives a [[Heart Container]] as a reward.

-In {{HW}} and {{HWL}}, King Dodongo appears as a giant boss that is encountered in several [[Legend Mode]] and [[Adventure Mode]] stages. In Legend Mode, it appears as a boss in the Scenarios "[[The Armies of Ruin]]", "[[The Water Temple]]", "[[Ganondorf's Return]]", "[[The Dragon of the Caves]]", and "[[The Other Hero]]". It is not required to defeat King Dodongo in all Scenarios.
+Aeralfos appear as elite enemies in {{HW}}. They move around the battle field by flying close to the ground, and attack their enemies by swooping down at them. Aeralfos possess a number of other attacks as well, including breathing fire.

+When defeated, they may drop [[Aeralfos Leather]] as Bronze [[Material]], and occasionally [[Round Aeralfos Shield]]s as Silver Material.
-King Dodongo differs from its previous incarnations as it bares golden scales, two red horns on both sides of its head, red claws, and red crystals running along its back and joints. In "The Water Temple" and "The Other Hero," it appears more closely resembling its ''Ocarina of Time'' appearance. King Dodongo attacks with a variety of moves such as curling and rolling into a ball, stomping its claws, roaring loudly, breathing a stream of flames, or by preparing a powerful fire blast by inhaling deeply. These attacks also harm nearby enemy troops. Because of its immense size, it is impervious to nearly all attacks. It becomes vulnerable when Bombs are thrown down its throat as it sucks in air, which stuns it and exposes its weak point gauge.
+[[File:HWL VS Fiery Aeralfos Icon.png|left]]
-King Dodongo usually drop the King Dodongo's Claws Silve [[Material]] when defeated, and rarely the King Dodongo's Crystal Gold Material.
+An alternate variant called '''Fiery Aeralfos''' also appears. They appear as red-colored Aeralfos with blue wings, although their attack strategy and weakness are identical to their common counterparts. When defeated, they may drop [[Fiery Aeralfos Leather]] as Bronze Material, and occasionally [[Fiery Aeralfos Wing]]s as Silver Material.

-==Trivia==
-*King Dodongo and [[Volvagia]] share a battle theme that is different from the one that plays for all the other bosses in ''Ocarina of Time''.
-*King Dodongo has the lowest amount of health in ''Ocarina of Time''. It can be defeated with two Jump Attacks while using [[Deku Stick]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= |author= LightVoidGamer|published= October 18, 2015|retrieved= April 10, 2016|url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAUkdQtUtpw|title= The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - King Dodongo Speed Run in 23 Seconds/No Damage|site= YouTube|type=}}</ref>
