First appearance The Adventure of Link (1988)

Moas are enemies from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. These enemies resemble flying eyeballs that typically fly either back and forth, or in a swooping fashion. There are several varieties of the Moa.

Fire Moas are orange in color, and found only in palaces. They fly above Link's head in a swooping pattern, dropping flames from their bodies. They have the ability to deduct experience points from Link if he touches them. Red Moas are found in the Graveyards in Western Hyrule. They fly across the screen, changing their altitude slightly each time they cross the screen.

Dark Blue Moas, also known as Town Moas, appear only in the village of Old Kasuto. Without the Cross, Link cannot see them, although he can still deal damage if he manages to hit one. They are the only kind of Moa that do not deduct experience points.

The last type, known as the Blue Moas, are also invisible without the Cross. They appear in the small graveyard in Eastern Hyrule, and in the lava flows leading up to the Great Palace. They are the only enemy worth more than 20 experience points who drop blue magic vials and P-bags worth 50 exp rather than red magic vials and 200 exp P-bags.

[edit] Trivia

  • Moas were included in the Legend of Zelda fruit snacks, one of many promotional food items from Nintendo.
