==Characteristics==
As a relative of the {{Term|ALttP|Octorok|link}}, {{Plural|ALttP|Octoballoon}} have a similar appearance, but appear massively bloated and float a short distance above the ground. They will float towards {{Term|ALttP|Link|link}} before exploding, scattering small {{Plural|ALttP|Puffer|link}} into the air and across the ground that will hurt {{Term|ALttP|Link}} if he comes into contact with them. These Octoroks will bounce around before disappearing after a few moments, although they can be destroyed before this happens. A floating {{Term|ALttP|Octoballoon}} will also explode if struck, so there is no way to destroy it safely. Notably, only a single {{Term|ALttP|Octoballoon}} can be found in {{ALttP}}, on the eastern shore of {{Term|ALttP|Lake Hylia|link}}.
 
In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords|Game Boy Advance version]] of the game however, a single, orange {{Term|ALttP|Octoballoon}} appears in the {{Term|ALttP|Palace of the Four Sword|link}} alongside orange {{Plural|ALttP|Octorok}} in an icy room on way to the chamber where {{Term|ALttP|Link}} has to defeat {{Term|ALttP|Mothula|link}} for the second time. It is identical to the one found in the overworld, but its palette is affected by the room's properties.

'''Octoballoons''' are inhabitants of the wetlands of [[Hyrule]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. [[Link]] has only seen one of these mysterious creatures in his journeys. This octopus uses some method to hover above the ground, standing in wait of prey or danger. When it senses danger, it will bloat and explode, ripping its egg sac apart and releasing tiny larvae that roam around the land, which die or burrow into the ground a few moments after birth. Quite notably, only one Octoballon is found in ''A Link to the Past'', although it respawns as every other enemy in the area.
