DEKU BABBA
two types: 1) the kind that actively snap at you 2) some stand straight up, revolving around 1) watch out when they lunge at you and strike them to kill them. If you hit them in the face they stand up straight for a few seconds and you can cut them in half deku 2) slash them throught the middle; these ones will always give you a deku stick

LIKE LIKE
These guys are pretty nasty. If you get too close they will eat you and steal your items, and you must defeat them quickly to get your stuff back. Easiest way is to stand back and shoot them with the fairy bow. The hookshot paralyzes them, but also pulls you in - when you stike it with your sword it revives and you have to run away quickly

MOBLIN
This is the giant with the bat that stands in front of the forest temple. Use a zig zag pattern as you walk up to avoid getting blown aside by the giant gusts of wind, then hit him with your sword when you get underneath his bat. You can also stand from afar and shoot him down once you have the fairy bow.

DODONGO
The only time you will meet the Dodongos are in Dodongo's Cavern. Avoiding its fiery breath, run up and hit it with your sword, either on the side or the tail. Watch out when hitting the tail that you don't get hit when they whip around. Like the baby Dodongo's they explode when they die.

OCTORK
These are the octopus's that jump out of the water and spit balls of nuts at you. Deflect the nuts back at them with your shield to kill them.

RE-DEAD
Basically, a Gibdo whose wrappings fell off. Same princlples apply, watch out for the paralyzing stare, and don't let them grab you. Play the Sun's Song to freeze them in their track, and then hit them from behind.

STALCHILD
These are the Skeletal children that haunt Hyrule Field at night. I prefer to just play the Sun's Song and avoid them. If you feel like practicing your sword skills, these are great practice. If you fight for long enough, and adult will come out. Just watch out for their slapping hands.

STALFOS
These are really fun, but you won't meet them until you become an adult ( w/ the exeption of the spirit temple). Same as the Lizafos, attack when its guard is down. If there is more than one Stalfos you have to defeat them quickly before they can regenerate.

BLUE ( OR RED) TEKITE
I hate these; luckily you only have to deal with them in the watter temple and around lake hylia. Hit them quickly before they can jump up and attack you. Or three arrows will do it too.

TORCH SLUG
The only time you run into these guys is in the fire and spirit temples. Destroy them with your sword before they jump at you. You can pound the megaton hammer on the ground near them to turn them inside out and finish them quicker.
