The Legend of Zelda Manual Description

Patra
The Patra attack in groups, in two types of formations. Both formation groups are strong. So be on your toes!

Several groups of Patras appear throughout Level-9 in both the First Quest and the Second Quest. Patras are flying eyeballs with wings that are always found in a circular shaped group with a larger Patra in the center. Patra groups come in two types of formations.^[2] While both types have the smaller Patras flying in a continuous circle, one type periodically expands and contracts across the room, while the other type rotates like a gyroscope. Link cannot damage the Patra in the center until he has defeated all eight of the smaller Patras that circle it. Each smaller Patra has 6 health and the larger Patra has 11 health, totaling the entire group at 59 health. Patras are only vulnerable to Swords and physical hits from Magical Rod. When defeated, the large Patra may drop either a Heart, a Fairy or one Rupee.^{[note 1]}

Non-Canon Information

The Legend of Zelda TV series

Some Patras briefly appear in the "Stinging a Stinger" episode of The Legend of Zelda TV series. When Link hears Princess Zelda's screams, he rushes over to where she is and sees that she is being attacked by Patras.^[4] Link, confident about his new Sword, faces an incoming Patra, but one light-beam from the foe breaks the Sword in half and causes Link to collapse from the attack. Zelda then rushes towards Link and swiftly scares the Patras off.^[5]

The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)

Patra appears in the To the First Power story of The Legend of Zelda comics by Valiant Comics. While Princess Zelda is busy fighting a Gohma in Level 1, a group of Patras fly in and attack her. Although the Princess is successful in defeating one of them, she admits that the fight has gotten too tough for her and manages to escape the room.^{[citation needed]}

Non-Canon Information

Patras appear in BS The Legend of Zelda. A group of Patras can be found in Level-5, Level-7 and Level-8. They spin around continuously.

Zelda's Adventure

Patras are encountered in the Shrine of Illusion and the Shrine of Air in Zelda's Adventure. Patras are one of the weakest enemies, as they inflict only half a Heart of damage to Zelda, and can be defeated within a single hit.

In a room of the Shrine of Illusion, Zelda can defeat the Patras to obtain a Black Orb. In the Shrine of Air, Zelda can defeat every Patra in the room east of the first Vapora fight to obtain the shrine's Compass.

Trivia

Eyesoar is named Patra in Japanese, implying that they are intended to be the same creature.

Notes

↑ If Link defeats 10 enemies without getting hit or teleporting with the Recorder, then the 10th enemy defeated will drop five Rupees. However, if the 10th enemy is defeated with a Bomb, then it will drop four Bobms. If Link defeats 16 enemies without getting hit or teleporting, then the 16th enemy will drop a Fairy. After the 16th enemy, Link must get hit and reset the counter to zero in order to achieve this effect again. Defeating Armos, Like Likes, Keese, or Gels will not be counted.^[3]

-In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', Patra is a mini-boss of sorts, although not typically considered in that status due to the fight's high level of difficulty. It appears in Level 9 ([[Death Mountain Labyrinth]]), composed of a single flying eye surrounded by several smaller flying eyes, this foe can easily impede [[Link]]'s progress. Patra comes in two varieties, denoted by the pattern in which the outer ring of eyes behaves. While both types spin their smaller Patra around the center eye, one variety has the outer circle expand and contract, while the other variety's smaller Patra rotate like a gyroscope. Both are equally menacing<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= The Patra attack in groups, in two types of formations. Both formation groups are strong. So be on your toes!|game=The Legend of Zelda (Game)|page=38}}</ref> and in many cases Link is required to defeat Patra before moving on. Before Link can kill the main eye, he has to attack the smaller Patra first. Then he can kill the main Patra. Patra is only vulnerable to the sword and to the [[Magical Rod]]. Bizarrely, it is only affected by direct contact with the rod itself; neither the beams nor the [[Book of Magic]] flames harm it, so the sword is a better option unless the player is doing a swordless run of the game.
+==In other media==
-Patra has also made an appearance in [[BS The Legend of Zelda]] as a boss of one of the dungeons, and as a mini-boss in several other dungeons. It used the same attack patterns as in the original game, but it featured updated graphics.

+{{Noncanon|End}}
-In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', Eyesoar (simply known as ''Patra'' in Japan) is the boss of [[Skull Dungeon]]. To rid Skull Dungeon of this monster, Link had to destroy the smaller eyes that orbit around Eyesoar, then use the [[Switch Hook]] to switch places with the main eye. This temporarily stunned the monster, allowing Link to run over and hit it with his sword. As he did this, the smaller eyes became far more aggressive. Despite its best efforts, Link emerged victorious in the battle between them, and moved to take the [[Essences of Time#Burning Flame|Burning Flame]].
+==Spinoff appearances==
-The Eyesoar is capable of dealing damage very fast simply in the way its smaller eyes spin around it, each causing a quarter heart of damage upon contact. However, if Link attacks the smaller eyes, the Eyesoar will very quickly regenerate new ones. The way to defeat it is for Link to grab the Eyesoar with the Switch Hook, then to attack it while it is vulnerable. To penetrate the smaller eyes, Link may either perform a spin attack to get rid of some of the smaller eyes temporarily, then press his advantage and use the Switch Hook while the eyes are regenerating, or he may try simply try to grab the Eyesoar itself, ignoring the smaller eyes. This method is more suicidal, keep in mind, because of the damage the eyes inflict.
