A tube-shaped monster that loves to eat the Magical Shield.

ゼルダの伝説 取扱説明書 (任天堂, 1986), p. 36, 101Leafy's translation

A tube-shaped monster that loves to eat the Magical Shield.

ゼルダの伝説1 取扱説明書 (任天堂, 1994), p. 30, 101Leafy's translation

A tube-like monster that has a soft spot for magic shields – he eats them up.

The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet (Nintendo of America, 1987), p. 37

Troublesome tube-like monsters. Don't panic! Their favorite food is magic shields. The magic shield itself is difficult to obtain so you don't want to let a Like Like eat it. Try to find a way to attack him without getting too close.

The Legend of Zelda Tips and Tactics (Tokuma Shoten Publishing for Nintendo of America, 1987), p. 22

A nasty thing that looks like a hamburger. Worst of all, it eats your expensive Magical Shield. Stop it with the boomerang so it cannot get close!

ゼルダの伝説 (二見書房, 1986), p. 74, 101Leafy's translation

It boings around like a tube-shaped spring. Its favourite food is the Magical Shield. If it catches you, you are left with the small shield.

ゼルダの伝説 必勝攻略ガイド (新星出版社, 1986), p. 40, 101Leafy's translation

A tube-shaped monster. It grabs hold of Link.

ファミリーコンピュータ攻略ガイドブック1 ゼルダの伝説 (曙出版, 1986), p. 37, 101Leafy's translation

A tube-shaped monster. It is quite strong and even eats the Magical Shield.

ファミリーコンピュータ必勝シリーズ1 ゼルダの伝説 (ミリオン出版, 1986), p. 48, 101Leafy's translation

An eerie monster whose true nature no one knows. Its odd trait is that it eats Link's Magical Shield. It has a lot of life too. Fighting it up close is very dangerous, so it's best to use the beam from a distance or deal with it using the Magical Rod.

ファミコン マル勝DXシリーズ1 ゼルダの伝説 (角川書店, 1986), p. 52, 101Leafy's translation

A tube-shaped monster that eats the Magical Shield. Attack it with arrows, the rod, or fire before it gets close. Swinging your sword at it can also defeat it before it eats your shield.

ゼルダの伝説 (秋田書店, 1986), p. 51, 101Leafy's translation

It comes toward Link, opening and closing its mouth. A nasty thing whose favourite food is the Magical Shield.

ゼルダの伝説 (双葉社, 1986), p. 20, 101Leafy's translation

It is shaped like a tube and doesn't look like a monster at first glance. Its favorite food is none other than the Magical Shield, so be careful it doesn't eat yours.

ケイブンシャの大百科別冊 ゼルダの伝説1 (勁文社, 1994), p. 27, 101Leafy's translation

A strange monster that loves to eat the Magical Shield. You take no damage to your life, but losing the Magical Shield hurts, since you have to go and buy it again. Don't approach it from the front. Go for its side or back.

ゼルダブック (ファミコン必勝本 1986年6月号付録) (JICC出版局, 1986), p. 74, 101Leafy's translation

A tube-shaped monster, and quite a nuisance. Believe it or not, the Like Like's favourite food is the Magical Shield.
