Fokkeru are Enemies in The Adventure of Link.[1]
Characteristics
Fokkeru are avian soldiers born from Fire that protect the Great Palace.[2] They hop up and down while moving back and forth, spitting fireballs in an upward arc. These fireballs sit and burn on the ground for short periods of time, and even move along the ground towards Link when they land.[2] To defeat a Fokkeru, Link must get underneath the fireball arc and strike at it with his Sword. Their bodies are wreathed in flames.[2]
Trivia
- The Futabasha guide artwork, which was not created by Nintendo, appears to be a complete misinterpretation of the sprite. Rather than appearing as a bird, it gives it a bizarre alien-like appearance.
Nomenclature
Fokkeru (pronounced /'ɸok.keɽu͍̥/ PHOHK-kel) is likely based on the German word Vogel (pronounced /ˈfoːɡəl/ FO-gəl), which means "bird".
