[edit] Appearances
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Deku Nuts are one of the first items obtained in the game, and are one of the few items that can be used both while Link is a youth and when he is an adult. When thrown, Deku Nuts release a blinding flash that stuns most regular enemies. Deku Nuts can be obtained by defeating Deku Babas, and are also occasionally found in Treasure Chests or shops. Sheik and Impa both use Deku Nuts to disappear, supposedly an oft-used escape mechanism used by the Sheikah.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Deku Nuts are arguably the first item obtained in the game; some Deku Nuts are found in a chest located in the tunnels beneath the Clock Tower. They retain their appearance and function from Ocarina of Time. While using the flying ability of Link's Deku form, they can be dropped with B, hitting unwary targets situated directly below Link.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Deku Nuts are found in areas such as the Forbidden Woods and the Wind Temple. Due to their weight, which is substantially larger than in earlier games, they can be used to press down switches. Deku Nuts are also hollow, allowing Link to blow them around with the Deku Leaf.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Deku Nuts are found in forest areas, for the most part. They can be broken apart, often revealing helpful items inside, such as Deku Seeds, which are used as ammunition for the Slingshot.

[edit] Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Deku Nuts occasionally appear, and can be thrown at opponents. A direct hit causes massive knockback, stunning everyone caught within the blast radius (including the thrower) for a short period of time. Deku Nuts also appear as a trophy.
