— Boulder Figurine

Boulders are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series. They are simply large rocks that fall from a higher point and follow a random movement pattern. While they, as non-sentient beings, cannot attack as such, they can damage Link by landing on top of him or rolling into him, There is no way to defeat Boulders, and they must simply be averted. Boulders are continually found near mountains.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] The Legend of Zelda

Boulders are found on Death Mountain, falling in random patterns to damage Link. They are an orange color, and fall continuously until Link leaves the area. These rocks are usually accompanied by other enemies such as the Octorok or the River Zora, making them harder to avoid being that Link is distracted by other creatures.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

The Boulders are found on Death Mountain in the Light World. They are slightly larger than the ones from The Legend of Zelda and have a green sheen to them. Boulders appear when Link climbs the long staircase leading to the small area before Hera's Tower, making them a legitimate threat.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Boulders are found in the western area of the Tal Tal Mountain Range, near Turtle Rock.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Boulders are found in the area of the Death Mountain Trail that leads to the volcanic peak of Death Mountain. When Link approaches the peak, the volcano sporadically erupts, causing a downpour of volcanic rocks. These can either be dodged by rolling and careful moving or by equipping a Hylian Shield and defending when the eruptions take place. Since these Boulders are volcanic, they will burn Deku Shields, if Link has one equipped.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

Boulders appear when Link is climbing Restoration Wall.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Boulders appear when Link is climbing the large rock wall on Mt. Crenel with the Grip Ring.
