Orb Monsters are enemies in Link's Awakening DX.[1]

Characteristics

Orb Monsters are found exclusively in the Color Dungeon. After being hit with a Sword, they can be picked up by using the Power Bracelet. Link must throw the Orb Monsters into holes matching their respective colors and shapes.[note 1] When all of them are placed correctly, they vanish while spawning either a Treasure Chest or a Small Key.

Notes

  1. ↑ In Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch, both Orb Monsters and their corresponding holes bear geometric shapes to assist with color blindness. This feature was not present in Link's Awakening DX. Yellow-colored Orb Monsters also replaced Green Orb Monsters to assist with red-green color blindness.
