Characteristics
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, Beetles appear from a hole in the ground south of Kanalet Castle whenever Link gets close. They can be defeated with a single Sword slash, but endlessly continue appearing from the hole.
Oracle of Seasons
In Oracle of Seasons, Beetles can appear when Link digs a hole using the Shovel.
Oracle of Ages
In Oracle of Ages, Beetles can appear when Link digs a hole using the Shovel.
The Minish Cap
They appear under rocks and grass.
If they grab you, you won't be able to move. Swing your sword to get away.
In The Minish Cap, Black Beetles appear under Rocks and Grass or when digging with the Mole Mitts. If they grab Link, he will not be able to move until he swings his Sword. Red Beetles appear in the Fortress of Winds.
Echoes of Wisdom
Beetles can be found in Caves throughout Hyrule. They tend to move in swarms and will pursue prey once a target is spotted. Beetle Mounds can spawn Beetles indefinitely until they are destroyed.[3] When summoned as an Echo, they have an Echo cost of one.
Nomenclature
The Beetle's Japanese name, "Zoro Zoro", is derived from the Japanese onomatopoeia for insects skittering around.
