Boulders,Template:Exp Game2[1][2][3][name references needed] also known as Rocks,Template:Exp Game2[4] and Huge Rocks,Template:Exp Game2[5] are recurring traps in The Legend of Zelda series.

Characteristics

Boulders are rocks that fall in random patterns when Link is traveling through certain mountainous regions of Hyrule, commonly appearing on Death Mountain. They can often be hard to predict and will inflict damage to Link if he comes in contact with them.

The Legend of Zelda

Template:TLoZManual Rocks first appeared as rocks in The Legend of Zelda. These boulders fall from of Death Mountain.

A Link to the Past

In A Link to the Past, Boulders appear on the lower western region of Death Mountain in the Light World. They are much larger and able to cause a whole Heart of damage. It is easier to travel further up the mountain by traveling through the caves to avoid them.

Link's Awakening

In Link's Awakening, Boulders appear, similar to their original appearance, on the east of the Tal Tal Mountain Range. Boulders are also used as weapons by the Avalaunch in Link's Awakening DX when it slams the ground.

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, Boulders appear on Death Mountain, but rather than bouncing down the Mountain, they roll down it once Link has become an adult. Boulders also appear in Gerudo Valley and certain Dungeons. Sometimes they roll around areas such as Ganon's Castle.

Majora's Mask

In Majora's Mask, Boulders behave like they do in Ocarina of Time when climbing the Stone Tower. A gray variant can be found in the Deku Shrine.

Oracle of Ages

In Oracle of Ages, Boulders appear on Restoration Wall.

Four Swords Adventures

In Four Swords Adventures, Boulders appear on Death Mountain. They show up in caves where they can be pushed, where they also roll around and can be dropped into pits to make them safe to cross. Hinox in Four Swords Adventures throw massive Boulders at the Links.

The Minish Cap

Template:Figurine In The Minish Cap, Boulders appear on Mount Crenel and behave similarly to their A Link to the Past incarnation.

Phantom Hourglass

In Phantom Hourglass, rolling Boulders appear on the Isle of Ruins.

Spirit Tracks

In Spirit Tracks, Boulders appear in the Fire Sanctuary. Static varieties are found in other locations and can be pushed to solve puzzle, or destroyed by Wrecker Phantoms.

A Link Between Worlds

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

Tri Force Heroes

In Tri Force Heroes, Boulders sometimes roll down the path instead of Snowballs in the Snowball Ravine.

Breath of the Wild

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