Revision as of 17:55, 4 July 2014

Template:Enemy The Monkey[1] (also known by it's Japanese name Totakeke) appears only once in the series, on Toronbo Shores in Link's Awakening.

Appearance and Behavior

This red monkey sits in a palm tree to the east of Sale's House O' Bananas and throws damaging coconuts at Link as he passes by. He cannot be reached using Link's sword, and as such is seemingly invincible. Link can strike the coconuts down with his blade (they will drop items such as Rupees). This can be a good source of currency, but if Link remains on screen for too long, eventually the Monkey will throw a Bomb at him. He can be quite a dangerous threat early on in the game.

It is possible to "defeat" this monkey by charging into the tree it sits in using the Pegasus Boots. The monkey will fall and chatter as it leaps away.[2] Link cannot harm it once it has fallen from the tree, however there is a way to defeat the Monkey entirely: if Link takes BowWow down to the beach, BowWow will lunge at the Monkey and swallow him in one bite.

Trivia

  • Totakeke, the Monkey's Japanese name, derive from the nickname of Kazumi Totaka, one of the composers of Link's Awakening.
  • Kiki and his fellow monkeys look very different from the Monkey. The reason for this is unclear, especially given that the Monkey looks very similar to the design of Kiki in A Link to the Past. It is possible that the design was originally intended for Kiki, but used instead for an enemy while Kiki was given a more friendly and expressive appearance.
