Flying Pot

Flying Pots are enemies that can be found within several dungeons in several Zelda games.

Characteristics and Weaknesses
Flying Pots appear to be simple, harmless pots from a distance, but when approached, they will rise into the air and hurl themselves at Link, sometimes repairing the small damage they deal with the item they contain, usually being a heart.

Striking the pots with the sword or blocking with the shield are effective tactics to avoid damage. Link can also sometimes break them and collect their contents from a safe distance with the Hookshot or Boomerang. In Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, they can be seen as fake even from a distance by looking at their size, the Flying Pot being twice as small.
