The '''Mad Batter''' (known as '''Li'l Devil''' in the remake of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Switch)|Link's Awakening]]'') is a minor character who has appeared in several ''[[Portal: The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games. He is a bat-like creature who is known for placing curses on those that disturb his slumber, but said curses actually prove to be helpful to his targets.
+
The '''Mad Batter''' is an unusual creature that, when summoned, will place curses on the person who disturbed his slumber. These curses, however, tend to actually be helpful.

The Mad Batter was a mysterious being of which very little was known. The Mad Batter had slept for years undisturbed in his home/prison beneath the Dwarven Smithies' home during ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. This peace was disturbed when Link fell into his cave and awakened the Mad Batter with a bit of magical dust. The Mad Batter was infuriated and overjoyed all at the same time. Intent on getting his revenge for being set free, he 'cursed' Link by doubling the amount on magic he could use. Content that Link would have to suffer in misery, he promptly thanked Link and vanished.

The Mad Batter reappeared on [[Koholint Island]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. He was found at three underground caverns in different parts of the island. As in his other appearance, he was awakened by sprinkling [[Magic Powder]] onto his altar. Despite placing a curse on Link, he also thanked him for waking him up. In this game, his curse would allow Link to carry more of a particular item ([[Bow and Arrow|Arrows]], [[Bomb|Bombs]] or Magic Powder). The Mad Batter would also ask Link if he was ready before applying the curse. If Link said no, then he would offer to place a curse on one of the two other items covered by his curse instead of letting him go, or he would just keep on repeating his offer if Link was on the third one.
+
As fate would have it, Link once more encountered the Mad Batter on [[Koholint Island]] during ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. The strange creature was found three different times - now more than ever intent to remain hidden and cursed. Whenever Link would awaken him, he'd force Link to choose his fate and then allow Link to carry more of a particular item (Arrows, Bombs, or Magic Powder). Content that Link was now 'cursed' to have to carry all that stuff around, the Mad Batter vanished again to get back to his sleeping.
