Blue Chuchus,(MM | TMC | PH | SS)[2] also known as Blue ChuChus(TWW) and Blue Chus(TP)[2], are recurring Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.

Characteristics

Majora's Mask

Blue Chuchus are a unique variety that only appear in the Great Bay Temple, as part of a puzzle. Unlike other Chuchus, they do not contain items like Hearts, Arrows, or Magic Jars, instead solely being used to freeze and use as makeshift platforms via the Ice Arrow.

The Wind Waker

There are 23 Blue Chuchus which can be found throughout the Great Sea. Link can obtain Blue Chu Jellies from them by either defeating them or using the Grappling Hook. Once Link obtains the Blue Chu Jelly from a Blue Chuchu, it can never be obtained again from that same one (a Yellow Rupee will drop instead). Because of this, there are only 23 total Blue Chu Jellies that Link can ever obtain.

Western Fairy Island Near the southern palm tree.
Rock Spire Isle Link can find this ChuChu after blowing up each rock, then reaching the final rock spire.
Tingle Island Near the small wooden sign by the base of the tower.
Eastern Fairy Island Near the northern palm tree.
Thorned Fairy Island Near the eastern palm tree.
Needle Rock Isle On the ring isle.
Stone Watcher Island Behind the giant faced rock.
Bird's Peak Rock On the ledge above the steel door (requires the Grappling Hook).
Diamond Steppe Island On one of the higher up ledges (requires the Hookshot).
Shark Island When Link activates all four switches quickly, an updraft will appear, which he can then use with the Wind's Requiem and the Deku Leaf to reach the highest point of the island where the ChuChu is.
Southern Fairy Island Near the eastern palm tree.
Cliff Plateau Isles When Link drops into the hole and makes his way through the cave, he will come out on the other side where the ChuChu is.
Horseshoe Island This ChuChu only spawns at night, and can be found to the right of the second hole.
Angular Isles On top of the largest isle next to the Treasure Chest.
Boating Course Link can reach this ChuChu by using the Deku Leaf to glide from the highest point of the main island to the island on the other side.

The Minish Cap

Template:Figurine Blue Chuchus are found within the caves of Veil Falls and in the Palace of Winds in The Minish Cap. As soon as they emerge from the ground, they electrify themselves; they are invulnerable to Sword strikes while electrified, and must be damaged with a different Item or stunned with the Boomerang or Magical Boomerang. If Link touches one while it is electrified, it will damage him and stun him briefly.

Twilight Princess

Blue Chus appear as enemies in Twilight Princess and are more rare than Red Chus, Yellow Chus or Purple Chus. They can be found in the Lakebed Temple, Hyrule Field, Snowpeak Ruins, and Caves. Upon defeat they drop Blue Chu Jelly which Link can scoop up in a bottle to drink, which restores his entire Life Gauge. They are functionally identical to a Blue Potion, but cannot be purchased.

Phantom Hourglass

Appearing similar to their design in The Wind Waker, Blue Chuchus constantly discharge electricity as opposed to the Yellow Chuchu's periodic bursts. As a result, Blue Chuchus cannot be killed with a sword while their defenses are up, and instead must be stunned first or dispatched by other means.

Skyward Sword



Blue Chuchus appear in Skyward Sword, though unlike some previous Zelda games, they cannot discharge electricity and remain underwater. Blue Chuchus can only be defeated by Link performing an underwater spin, though strict attention to the air gauge is necessary.
