Breath of the Wild
Water Octoroks are commonly found in bodies of water in West Necluda and Hyrule Field in. Like the other variants of Octorok in Breath of the Wild, Water Octoroks camouflage with their environment. Water Octoroks achieve this by staying submerged underwater with only the plant on their head above the water. Once Link gets close enough to a Water Octorok, they will spot him and begin to repeatedly jump out of the water every few seconds to spit a rock at Link. Water Octoroks track Link's movements both horizontally and vertically, aiming their rocks for the direction he is moving. Link will always be hit by their rocks if walking or, if close enough, running in a straight line. If Link approaches a Water Octorok while it is raining, they will be seen floating above the water like a balloon and will resume their normal behavior if they spot Link.

Like many Octoroks throughout the, Link can defeat Water Octoroks by guarding with any Shield to deflect their rocks right back at them. If Link is close enough, the rock will hit the Water Octorok after being deflected and instantly defeat them. Alternatively, Link can defeat Water Octoroks by detonating a Remote Bomb in the water or by shooting them with any type of Arrow. Link can also destroy the plant on a Water Octorok's head by shooting it with an Arrow, but it will grow back shortly after. Performing the Urbosa's Fury ability will defeat Water Octoroks, even if they are hiding underwater. Link can also suspend a Water Octorok in time with the Stasis Rune. If Link gets close to a Water Octorok, such as with the Cryonis Rune or a Raft, he can hit it with any melee weapon after it jumps out of the water. Despite having 8 health points, Water Octoroks will die from any amount of damage dealt to them. Upon defeat, Water Octoroks may drop Octorok Tentacles, Octo Balloons and Octorok Eyeballs.
