A Balloon can be found in [[North Clock Town]] being shot at by [[Jim]] with a blowgun. Another appears in the [[Astral Observatory]], blocking the ladder leading out of the sewers. It must be destroyed for [[Link]] to continue.
 
==={{TFH|-}}===
{{Plural|TFH|Balloon}} first appear in {{Term|TFH|Stage}} 1 of the second {{Term|TFH|Level|link}}, {{Term|TFH|Buzz Blob Cave|link}}, where they demonstrate the {{Term|TFH|Balloon}}-popping power of the {{Term|TFH|Bow|link}}. Each of the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} must fire an {{Term|TFH|Arrow}} at one to lower a small bridge, allowing access to the {{Term|TFH|Level}}'s main area; then, working together with the {{Term|TFH|Totem|link}} ability, one of the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} can reach a high-up ledge and pop a final {{Term|TFH|Balloon}} containing the {{Term|TFH|Small Key|link}} to the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway|link}}. {{Plural|TFH|Balloon}} can also be popped with the {{Term|TFH|Sword|link}}, any other weapons, thrown objects, or even by {{Plural|TFH|Enemy|link}}.
 
The main use of {{Plural|TFH|Balloon}} thereafter is in the {{Plural|TFH|Drablands Challenge|link}} "Pop all balloons!", in which every {{Term|TFH|Balloon}} in each {{Term|TFH|Stage}} must be popped before the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway}} will activate, and "Don't pop any balloons!", in which popping a single {{Term|TFH|Balloon}} results in an instant KO, restarting the {{Term|TFH|Stage}}. In these challenges, numerous {{Plural|TFH|Balloon}} appear in preset locations around the {{Term|TFH|Level}}. Some are stationary, while some float around a given area. Elevated {{Plural|TFH|Balloon}} often bare a number, indicating the height of a {{Term|TFH|Totem}} required to reach it.
 
The challenge "Pop all balloons!" can be selected in {{Term|TFH|Buzz Blob Cave}}, {{Term|TFH|Moblin Base|link}}, {{Term|TFH|Secret Fortress|link}}, {{Term|TFH|Blazing Trail|link}}, {{Term|TFH|Hinox Mine|link}}, {{Term|TFH|Frozen Plateau|link}} and {{Term|TFH|Palace Noir|link}}.

This page is about regular Balloons. For other uses, see Balloon (Disambiguation).

Balloons are recurring objects and items in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][3][name references needed]

Location and Uses

Majora's Mask

This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.

A Balloon can be found in North Clock Town being shot at by Jim with a blowgun. Another appears in the Astral Observatory, blocking the ladder leading out of the sewers. It must be destroyed for Link to continue.

Tri Force Heroes

Balloons first appear in Stage 1 of the second Level, Buzz Blob Cave, where they demonstrate the Balloon-popping power of the Bow. Each of the Links must fire an Arrow at one to lower a small bridge, allowing access to the Level's main area; then, working together with the Totem ability, one of the Links can reach a high-up ledge and pop a final Balloon containing the Key to the Triforce Gateway. Balloons can also be popped with the Sword, any other weapons, thrown objects, or even by Enemies.

The main use of Balloons thereafter is in the Drablands Challenges "Pop all balloons!", in which every Balloon in each Stage must be popped before the Triforce Gateway will activate, and "Don't pop any balloons!", in which popping a single Balloon results in an instant KO, restarting the Stage. In these challenges, numerous Balloons appear in preset locations around the Level. Some are stationary, while some float around a given area. Elevated Balloons often bare a number, indicating the height of a Totem required to reach it.

The challenge "Pop all balloons!" can be selected in Buzz Blob Cave, Moblin Base, Secret Fortress, Blazing Trail, Hinox Mine, Frozen Plateau and Palace Noir. "Don't pop any balloon!" can be selected in Hinox Mine, Desert Temple and Deception Castle.

Breath of the Wild

This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.

Balloons are found throughout Ancient Shrines. They are commonly attached to platforms, allowing for movement through the air. They can also be attached to Bomb Barrels, creating portable Bombs.

Balloons also act as Korok Seed Puzzles throughout Hyrule, revealing Koroks when they are popped.

Tears of the Kingdom

Balloons are Zonai Devices. When a heat source is placed underneath them, they will rise into the air. They can be merged with other Objects with the Ultrahand ability to create vehicles that can reach high altitudes with relatively little drain on Link's Energy Cell. Balloons cannot remain aloft indefinitely and will blink green for a few seconds before their duration expires, at which point they will disappear.

Balloons also appear as part of the Pinwheel & Balloons and Hidden Balloon types of Korok Seed Puzzles.

Other Appearances

Hyrule Warriors

Non-Canon Information

The Balloon is a class of Weapon used by Tingle. It is associated with Fire.

Variations

The default Balloon is the Rosy Balloon. The second form of the Balloon is the Love-Filled Balloon, followed by the Mr. Fairy Balloon.
