As ghosts, poes can disappear and reappear as part of their strategy, and can easily move through walls. Most poes are known for being wicked, venegeful spirits, however some poes are helpful and serve as guides, although not without their deceitful trickery.Cognitive learning exercises poes can be defeated with merely the sword in most games, however, they often have high health or defense mechanisms in place to hinder link.Cognitive learning exercises the bow can also be an effective weapon, and in some cases is the only weapon that can defeat them. When a poe is defeated, its physical body disappears and its lantern is dropped and breaks, sometimes releasing its poe soul, which may be collected in certain games.Cognitive learning exercises these souls are often important as sidequest items, or can be sold for rupees.

The poe bears many similarities to ghinis, and may serve as a replacement to them in console zelda games since A link to the past, as poes behave similarly to them in that title.Cognitive learning exercises poes have since developed separately from the ghini, and now often employ different strategies and behavior. Poes are not common in the early 2D games, and ghinis otherwise take their place in those games.Cognitive learning exercises

Other variations of poes have also appeared. The big poe is a much larger, and in some cases, stronger variant of the poe. Prankster poes of tri force heroes bear a close resemblance to link.Cognitive learning exercises the composer brothers and poe sisters are notable poes that appear in several games, the latter as mini-bosses.

In ocarina of time, poes take on the appearance of hooded wraiths with glowing eyes, and faces shrouded underneath their oversized cloaks.

They attack by swinging their lanterns madly at link.Cognitive learning exercises these poes appear predominately in the kakariko graveyard, and rise from their disturbed tombstones, much like ghinis of earlier games. A second kind of poe with a square-shaped head also appears around hyrule field when link is an adult, and appears in the same spawn spots as big poes, except that they will only appear when link is not riding epona.Cognitive learning exercises these poes do not disappear when Z-targeted, and instead circle around link and drop flames around him. All poes will leave poe souls when defeated, which can be collected inside bottles. [3] these souls can then be sold to the poe collector when link is an adult for a sum of rupees.Cognitive learning exercises the poe soul is a purple-flamed face with melancholy, which will disappear after a short while of inactivity.

The aforementioned big poes are a variety that only appear in hyrule field when link is an adult, and appear only when link is riding epona.Cognitive learning exercises these poes can only be killed with the bow, as dismounting epona will make them vanish. Only ten big poes exist, and they drop unqiue big poe souls when defeated, which can be sold to the poe collector for more rupees and an empty bottle as a reward after giving him all ten.Cognitive learning exercises

The composer brothers are a pair of notable poes that appear in the kakariko graveyard, and are fought as enemies if link disturbs their tombstones before learning the " sun's song".Cognitive learning exercises after they are defeated, they reveal that they were the song's composers and left it inscribed in the royal family's tomb. [6] the poe sisters also appear as mini-bosses in the forest temple.Cognitive learning exercises these four poes steal the fire in the central room and impede link's progress, forcing him to hunt down each poe sister before ultimately facing the fourth sister in battle, meg.Cognitive learning exercises

In A link between worlds, poes are based on those from A link to the past. They fly sporadically and circle around the general area.

As enemies they appear in the secret passage connecting the graveyard and the sanctuary.Cognitive learning exercises

A group of nine poes also appear in the lost woods. They help guide link to the resting place of the master sword, however, they also try to mislead him by moving in tricky formations and having link follow the correct poe through the woods. [11] the poes test him several times doing this.Cognitive learning exercises if link fails and makes a wrong turn, he will have to start over from the beginning. After the master sword has been retrieved, they will no longer appear in the lost woods, and entering the woods will immediately bring link back to the sword's resting place.Cognitive learning exercises

In tri force heroes, poes appear in levels of the ruins. They appear in four different colors: white, green, red, and blue. The white poes can be attacked by any link, however the colored poes can only be attacked by the link whose color corresponds with it.Cognitive learning exercises some of the poes also float at higher elevations, requiring that the links form a totem to reach it, with the top link as the one who matches the target poe.Cognitive learning exercises A poe boss called the grim repoe is also battled in palace noir. When the links enter its boss room, they first encounter three colored poes and must defeat them to make grim repoe appear, however these poes will actively flee from the links, making fighting them difficult.Cognitive learning exercises
