'''Monkeys''' are recurring bit part players in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' games]]. They are often mischievous and skittish, but come through in a pinch. They typically resemble chimpanzees, [[Wikipedia:Macaque|macaques]] or other small [[Wikipedia:New World monkey|"new world" monkeys]]. Most are not enemies, but either help or are helped by [[Link]].

A [[Rupee]]-loving chimpanzee named [[Kiki]] appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', shortly before Link ventures into the [[Palace of Darkness]]. He asks the young hero for 10 rupees, after which he will follow Link and open the entrance to the Palace for 100 rupees.

At [[Toronbo Shores]], a monkey enemy ({{exp|Totakeke|とたけけ}}) throws coconuts and [[bomb]]s at Link. He is an enemy, and can be jostled out of the tree with the [[Pegasus Boots]].
 
 
Southeast of [[Kanalet Castle]] is a friendly (but confused) monkey also named [[Kiki]],<ref>[http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/k.jsp#KikitheMonkey Kiki the Monkey at zelda.com]</ref> standing in front of the moat. Kiki plays an important part in the [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence|trading sequence]]. After giving Kiki the [[bananas]], Kiki and another group of monkeys build a bridge, allowing Link to access the castle. The [[Stick]] (next in the trading sequence) is found on the finished bridge after the monkeys depart. Kiki and the other monkeys are not seen after the trade.

Monkeys play a very important role in the first dungeon of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. Eight monkeys are captured at various points within, and Link must set them free to progress. In return, the monkeys assist the hero by climbing on ropes and swinging him to far away platforms.

After Link is certified to use Powder Kegs (even after returning to the dawn of the First Day), Goron Link can buy Powder Kegs at the Goron Powder Keg Shop<ref>{{Cite|Want a Powder Keg?

Until I have tested you to see if you can use them properly, I can't let you use any on your own.|Goron|MM}}</ref> and [[Clock Town]]'s [[Bomb Shop#Majora's Mask|Bomb Shop]], but he can only carry one at a time.<ref>{{Cite|You can carry only one Powder Keg at a time.

Once four monkeys are set free, they will lead Link to their leader, a large baboon called [[Ook]]. He has been turned evil by a parasitic arachnid (possibly from the Twilight) and throws the [[Gale Boomerang]] at Link from columns situated around the room. If Link rolls into the columns, he can knock Ook off, making him vulnerable. Once defeated, Ook loses his parasite, and drops the Gale Boomerang for Link to pick up. Later, Ook helps Link defeat the [[Diababa]] by swinging back and forth with a [[Bombling]] in his grip, allowing Link to use the boomerang to blow it into the boss.

Powder Kegs possess devastating explosive power, and as such can be used to destroy obstacles that regular Bombs cannot. A Powder Keg can be used to open the way to the [[Goron Racetrack]]; destroy the boulder on [[Milk Road]] on the [[First Day|First]] or [[Second Day]], clearing a way to [[Romani Ranch]]; or to blow a hole in the roof of the [[Ikana Castle]], granting access to the throne room. A Powder Keg can also be used to complete the [[Zora Game Site|pot-breaking game]] at [[Zora Cape]] by destroying all the pots at once.<ref>{{Cite|Whoa! There are others besides Zoras who can do it...|Zora|MM}}</ref>
Monkeys are seen in a few other places in [[Faron Woods]], either in need of help or willing to help Link in his quest. They appear to be intelligent and friendly towards humans.<ref>{{cite|She's actually a pretty nice gal, that monkey... She tried to protect me, so we got captured together.|[[Talo]]|Twilight Princess}}</ref> It is thought that at the beginning of the game, when one particular monkey stole [[Uli]]'s cradle, it was to get Link's attention to help them.

Once lit, a Powder Keg will explode when its fuse burns out. However, Link can make it explode immediately by shooting an [[Arrow]] at it.<ref>{{Cite|Powder Kegs are very volatile, so you can carry only one at a time.

[[File:File:Powderkeg.png.png|20x20px]] [[|]] The Powder Keg is an item in Majora's Mask. It is the most famous product of the Gorons and much stronger than a regular Bomb.[1]

Location and Uses

MM3D Powder Keg Icon

Link can only purchase and use Powder Kegs as Goron Link, and must first pass a certification test before he can purchase any.[2] To become certified, Goron Link must visit Medigoron in the Goron Powder Keg Shop, which is frozen over in the winter so Link must use a Fire Arrow or wait until spring to enter. He will give the hero a lit Powder Keg, which he then must use to destroy the boulder blocking the entrance to the Goron Racetrack, before the Keg explodes.[3] If Link successfully completes this task, Medigoron will give him a free Powder Keg, certifying him to buy and carry one Powder Keg at a time.[4]

After Link is certified to use Powder Kegs (even after returning to the dawn of the First Day), Goron Link can buy Powder Kegs at the Goron Powder Keg Shop[5] and Clock Town's Bomb Shop, but he can only carry one at a time.[6] A Powder Keg costs 100 Rupees (in Majora's Mask)[7] or 20 Rupees (in Majora's Mask 3D)[8] at the Goron Powder Keg Shop, and costs 50 Rupees at the Bomb Shop.

Powder Kegs possess devastating explosive power, and as such can be used to destroy obstacles that regular Bombs cannot. A Powder Keg can be used to open the way to the Goron Racetrack; destroy the boulder on Milk Road on the First or Second Day, clearing a way to Romani Ranch; or to blow a hole in the roof of the Ikana Castle, granting access to the throne room. A Powder Keg can also be used to complete the pot-breaking game at Zora Cape by destroying all the pots at once.[9]

Once lit, a Powder Keg will explode when its fuse burns out. However, Link can make it explode immediately by shooting an Arrow at it.[10]
