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 on Link if he comes in contact with them.

Boulders first appeared as rocks in {{TLoZ}}. These boulders fall from of Death Mountain.  

In {{ALttP}}, they 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 travelling through the caves to avoid them.

Boulders also appear similar to their original appearance in {{LA}} on the east of [[Tal Tal Mountain Range]], and {{OoA}} on the [[Restoration Wall]]. Boulders are also used as weapons by the [[Stone Hinox]] in {{LA|DX}} when it slams the ground

In {{OoT}}, they also appear on Death Mountain, but instead of 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]].

In {{MM}}, they behave like they do in {{OoT|-}} when climbing the [[Stone Tower]]. A gray variant can be found in the [[Deku Shrine]].

{{Sectstub}}

In {{FSA}}, 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 {{FSA|-}} throw massive boulders at the [[Links]].

In {{TMC}}, boulders appear notably on [[Mount Crenel]] and behave similar to their {{ALttP|-}} incarnation.

Rolling boulders also appear on the [[Isle of Ruins]] in {{PH}}

[[Fire Sanctuary (Spirit Tracks)|Fire Sanctuary]] in {{ST}}.

In {{TFH}}, boulders sometimes roll down the path instead of [[Snowball]]s in the Level [[Snowball Ravine]]. Static varieties are found in other locations and can be pushed to solve puzzles like in {{FSA|-}}, or destroyed by [[Wrecker Phantom]]s.
