In, Link can also use Bomb Arrows to destroy Rocks from afar.

Rocks also appear as visual hints, mostly pointing out hidden areas or covering secrets. In, Magical Warp Tiles can sometimes be found under Rocks. In Ocarina of Time, Rock circles denote the location of secret grottoes that can be opened by using a Bomb, the Megaton Hammer, or by playing the "Song of Storms."

In the Dark World and Lorule, Rocks are replaced with Skulls, which may occasionally turn out to be Stals.

Stone Heads

Sparkling Rocks
