The '''Deeler''' (ディーラ, ''Diira'') is a spider-like enemy that attacks [[Link]] by dropping from the threads of spiderweb-like string, found only in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''. It can most easily be slain by inducing it to fall by running past and then hailing it with sword beams, but a sword slash will work as well. This enemy will stay concealed on the ceiling until [[Link]], (or any non-monster traveler for that matter), comes wandering by. Once the unwary prey comes beneath it, the Deeler will let webs fall on the passer-by and then drop down to finish the victim. If Link is caught in a Deeler's webs he must break out and slash the arachnid twice to kill it. The blue variety of Deelers is stronger, and will drop down and attack from the ground.<ref>{{cite manual|quote= Deeler moves up and down by a string suspended from a tree.

It can most easily be slain by inducing it to fall by running past and then hailing it with sword beams, but a sword slash will work as well. This enemy will stay concealed on the ceiling until Link, (or any non-monster traveler for that matter), comes wandering by. Once the unwary prey comes beneath it, the Deeler will let webs fall on the passer-by and then drop down to finish the victim. If Link is caught in a Deeler's webs he must break out and slash the arachnid twice to kill it. The blue variety of Deelers is stronger, and will drop down and attack from the ground.[1]
