Deku Babas in {{SS}} require a different strategy with the [[Sword]] than previous titles. There are three variants. One opens its mouth horizontally, another vertically, and the last is found upside-down on ceilings. Deku Babas will only take damage if Link slashes in the same direction that the plant's mouth opens.<ref>{{Cite|When you are fighting a Deku Baba, pay attention to how it opens its mouth and swing your sword accordingly.

Furthermore, the Deku Baba only takes half damage with stab attacks, even with the [[Master Sword]], and will try to dodge if Link stabs. However, they will not dodge if Link attempts to hit them with a [[Skyward Strike]] stab. | Deku Babas in {{SS}} require a different strategy with the [[Sword]] than previous titles.
