'''Boons''', also known as '''Killer Bees''' in the NES Game Atlas entry for ''The Adventure of Link'', are enemies in {{TAoL}}.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= Boon|book= [[The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts]]|publisher=Dark Horse Comics|page= 129}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|quote=Maze island is mind-boggling.

==Characteristics and Weaknesses==
 
Boons dwell in [[Eastern Hyrule]], often found in plains and swamp areas and on [[Maze Island]]. They buzz around erratically, carrying [[Rock]]s that they will attempt to drop onto [[Link]]. They will also crash into him when flying low enough. To defeat them, Link must use the [[Up Thrust]] or a well timed hit with the [[Sword]]. They are not particularly strong, but they are bothersome, especially when combined with other enemies such as [[Tektite]]s.

[[File:Boons (Captain N).png|Boons in ''Captain N: The Game Master''|thumb|right]]
 
Boons appear in the "[[Once Upon a Time Machine]]" episode of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''. While Link, [[Princess Zelda]], Kevin, and Princess Lana are having a picnic in [[Hyrule]], a swarm of giant Boons suddenly appear.<ref>{{Cite episode|quote=Sounds like we have some uninvited guests... Boons!|name=Link|show=Captain N: The Game Master|episode=Once Upon a Time Machine}}</ref> Link and Kevin easily dispose of a few of them; however, the Boons prove to be a major annoyance to the heroes since one of them takes Link's Sword, another two take the picnic cake, and their presence eventually lead to Kevin's Zapper and Power Pad getting stolen by Count Gruemon.
