The '''Boko Baba''' is an enemy that appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. It is a plant-like enemy similar to the [[Deku Baba]], and given the possible timeline placements of ''The Wind Waker'', it may be theorized to be an evolved descendant. It looks like a harmless [[Baba Bud]], but when Link approaches, it springs out revealing its monstrous head. The Boko Baba is very similar in appearance to a [[wikipedia:Venus Flytrap|Venus Flytrap]] and even has similar "teeth" to one. It hangs out its purple tipped, yellow tongue, and drools purple saliva, craving for the green garbed hero. A larger form of Boko Baba also appears in the game; the boss [[Kalle Demos]].

Now that an official timeline has been made I would have to agree that Eldin Volcano is later renamed Mt. Crenel and then Death Mountain. Most likely in Minish cap, because it was Hyrule's first Kingdom, most likely to people gave locations earlier names like it's most likely the Minish Woods became the lost woods. Eventually by Ocarina of time certain locations would have obtained their permanent names. Whats everyone's imput on this?
The Boko Baba has three methods of attack; a surprise attack when it first springs out of its bud, a simple bite or headbutt attack, and its unblockable eating attack. The latter can be anticipated when it licks its lips, and it subsequently grabs and vigorously chews [[Link]] in its

To kill the Boko Baba, one must attack it until it straightens its neck (following two sword slashes), and then sever its head. Alternatively the [[Boomerang]] will kill it in one hit. In its normal dying animation, the head is chopped off and both bud and head disappear in a cloud of black smoke. Hitting it with the [[Hookshot]] will straighten up its neck. If it is killed by being struck with the [[Hammer#Skull Hammer|Skull Hammer]], a different dying animation will follow, whereby its head is flattened on the ground and then bursts (without the usual black smoke). Subsequently the Boko Bud will also explode.

I doubt that Mt. Crenel is the same as Eldin Volcano the games are set maybe a 100 years apart and I doubt that a volcano full of lava, went inactive. Also it really isn't a theory for Eldin and Death its basically 90% possible that they are one and the same. Also I already have included it in the article as with Lanayru Desert. --[[User:XXSuperXXNintendoXx|XXSuperXXNintendoXx]] 21:24, 25 January 2012 (EST)
When defeated, depending upon the Boko Baba, it may leave its bud behind intact. It also leaves behind a [[Boko Stick]], and sometimes a [[Boko Baba Seed]] which is also possible to obtain using the [[Grappling Hook]].

Cipriano, I am willing to bet that Eldin Volcano and Death Mountain are the same because Nintendo confirmed that Skyward Sword would tell the events prior to Ocarina Of Time. If you take a look at Faron Woods, Eldin Volcano and Lanayru Desert in SS, they are of similar locations to Kokiri Forest, Death Mountain and Gerudo Desert in OOT. When you think about the landscape changing over time, Eldin's constant flow of lava would eventually stop and begin to harden, creating the rocky terrain found at Death Mountain. Lanayru Desert's technology (which is already in ruins), would be completely hidden beneath the sands in Gerudo Desert. I'm not too sure how all the water would be gone from Faron Woods in Kokiri Forest, but I'd assume that the water would just be absorbed entirely at one point. Not only that, but there are story elements in SS that could easily match up with story elements in OOT. One such aspect would be that the Kikwi Elder becomes the Great Deku Tree, due to a lot of similarities between the two. [[User:Lahmaster|Lahmaster]] 11:28, 6 February 2012 (AEST)
===Baba Bud===
 
{{Main|Baba Bud}}
 
When [[Link]] jumps into a Baba Bud, it will spit him high into the air in any direction. Upon jumping into one, as a bonus, a small amount of [[Magic Meter|magic power]] will be recovered. This is important, because many areas require Link to use the [[Deku Leaf]] (a magic-consuming item) after jumping out of the Baba Bud. It should be noted that the actual bud and a bud occupied by a Boko Baba are slightly different colors.

Eldin Caves

The stage Eldin Caves in Hyrule Warriors is known as Eldin Volcano in the Japanese version of the game. Should we add Eldin Caves to this page, or should we just make a separate page for it? ~Nintendocan (Talk · Contribs) 22:53, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
