Sparks are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. Sparks are brightly colored balls of flashing energy that usually cling to floor lamps, pots, blocks, and other permanent structures, around which they trace a revolving path. In some games, they are vulnerable to certain attacks; in others, they cannot be damaged. However, they can always cause harm to Link if he touches them. In the games which Sparks can be killed, they will always respawn as soon as Link leaves and reenters the room. Sparks drop fairies when defeated in some games.
