Blue Bubbles are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. They are cursed forms of Bubbles and usually can only be defeated once their blue flame has been extinguished.
[edit] Appearances
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Blue Bubbles, like other Bubbles, are floating skulls that attack Link, yet are different due to their immersion in a blue flame. They can easily be defended with a shield, and doing so will actually cause them to lose their fiery blanket. They also seem to possess an attraction to bombs, as throwing one near them results in their circling around it until it explodes. In Majora's Mask, their blue flame jinxes Link on contact, and will render him unable to use his sword. The hex fades away over time, yet can be instantly be removed by performing the Song of Storms or by drinking a Blue Potion.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Now cel-shaded like the rest of the game, Blue Bubbles reappear in Wind Waker in the Earth Temple, Wind Temple and Ganon's Tower, and have the same cursing abilities as the Blue Bubbles in Majora's Mask. However, the skulls now render Link unable to use any items at all, and the curse can only be lifted through time or sunlight. Also, the same curse is put upon Link if he enters the purple fog in the Earth Temple. To remove their blue fire, Link must use his Deku Leaf, Hookshot, or use the Ice Arrows to kill them instantly. These enemies can pose a considerable threat when encountered alongside other foes: without any items or use of a sword, Link cannot fight back against armed opponents. The effects of the curse can be removed instantly by walking under a beam of light.
