{{Term/Store|Water Octorok|Water Octoroks|Series, TFH, BotW|plural}} are recurring enemies in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |page= 195}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|'''{{Color|BotW Shrine Quest|Water Octorok}}'''|Hyrule Compendium|BotW}}</ref>

{{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}} are the only type of {{Term|TFH|Octorok|link}} that appear in {{TFH}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|type= Guide|quote= |game= TFH|publisher= Prima|page=16}}</ref> They are encountered in bodies of water and are most commonly found in water-themed Areas, such as [[Riverside]] and the [[Flooded Zone]] of the [[Den of Trials]]. {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}} hide underwater, staying in one spot with only their shadow and a small whirlpool visible. However, they will pop out of the water if any of the {{Term|TFH|Links|link}} are near them. While above water, {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}} shoot rocks at the {{Term|TFH|Links}}, inflicting one [[Heart]] of damage upon impact.

If the {{Term|TFH|Links}} get close enough to strike a {{Term|TFH|Water Octorok}} with their {{Plural|TFH|Sword|link}}, it will retreat back into the water where it cannot be attacked. If the {{Term|TFH|Links}} are quick enough, they can strike a {{Term|TFH|Water Octorok}} with their {{Plural|TFH|Sword}} after it shoots a rock and before it retreats into the water. {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}} are defeated after two strikes with a normal {{Term|TFH|Sword}}. The {{Term|TFH|Links}} can also stun {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}} by either firing a [[Gripshot]] at them or by using a [[Water Rod]] on their spot. The pillar of water created by a Water Rod will force {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}} out of the water and leave them temporarily stunned on top of the water pillar. If any of the {{Term|TFH|Links}} fires a Gripshot at a {{Term|TFH|Water Octorok}} while wearing the [[Robowear]], it will be defeated in one hit. If any of the {{Term|TFH|Links}} shoots one with a [[Gust Jar]], it will stun the {{Term|TFH|Water Octorok}} and push it a short distance away. Additionally, the {{Term|TFH|Links}} can blow {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}} onto land with a Gust Jar, where they will stand still and continue to shoot rocks while vulnerable. The {{Term|TFH|Links}} can also defeat {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}} from afar with long ranged weapons, such as the {{Term|TFH|Bow|link}}, [[Fire Gloves]], and [[Boomerang]]. {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}} are defeated after being shot with two {{Plural|TFH|Arrow}}, Sword Beams, or [[Fire]]balls from Fire Gloves. A hit from the Boomerang or the [[Hammer]] will cause {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}} to sink below the water, instantly defeating them. The {{Term|TFH|Links}} can also detonate {{Plural|TFH|Bomb|link}} on land to instantly defeat {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}}. Upon defeat, {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok}} may drop either a {{Term|TFH|Green Rupee|link}} or a {{Term|TFH|Blue Rupee|link}}.

{{Plural|BotW|Water Octorok}} are commonly found in bodies of water in [[West Necluda]] and [[Hyrule Field]] in {{BotW}}. Like the other variants of {{Term|BotW|Octorok|link}} in {{BotW|-}}, {{Plural|BotW|Water Octorok}} camouflage with their environment. {{Plural|BotW|Water Octorok}} achieve this by staying submerged underwater in one spot with only the plant on their head above the water. In addition, their blue color blends them in with the water. Once {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} gets close enough to a {{Term|BotW|Water Octorok}}, they will spot him and begin to repeatedly jump out of the water every few seconds to spit a rock at {{Term|BotW|Link}}. Link can be hit with a {{Term|BotW|Water Octorok}}'s rock while moving due to their ability to track {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s movements both horizontally and vertically, aiming their rocks for the direction he is moving. {{Term|BotW|Link}} will always be hit by their rocks if walking or, if close enough, running in a straight line. While it is [[Rain]]ing, {{Plural|BotW|Water Octorok}} will inflate like a balloon and float above the water due to the drop in barometric pressure that occurs during Rain, causing their internal [[Octo Balloon]]s to inflate.<ref>{{Cite|Although they spend most of their time in water, the drop in barometric pressure that occurs when it rains causes an air sac within these octopus-like monsters to inflate and lift them into the air.|Hyrule Compendium|BotW}}</ref>

Like many {{Plural|BotW|Octorok}} throughout the {{TLoZ|Series}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can defeat {{Plural|BotW|Water Octorok}} by guarding with any {{Term|BotW|Shield|link}} to deflect their rocks right back at them. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} is close enough, the rock will hit the {{Term|BotW|Water Octorok}} after being deflected and instantly defeat them. A [[Perfect Guard]] will send the rock flying back faster, allowing kills from a greater distance. Alternatively, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can defeat {{Plural|BotW|Water Octorok}} by shooting them with any type of {{Term|BotW|Arrow|link}}, even if they are below the water's surface. {{Term|BotW|Link}} can also cut the plant on a {{Term|BotW|Water Octorok}}'s head by shooting it with an {{Term|BotW|Arrow}} or slashing it with a {{Term|BotW|Sword}}, causing the {{Term|BotW|Water Octorok|display=Octorok}} to pop up and look around before retreating back into the water. This leaves the {{Term|BotW|Water Octorok}} vulnerable, giving {{Term|BotW|Link}} an opportunity to shoot it while it is above the water and not spitting a rock. The plant will grow back shortly after being cut. {{Term|BotW|Link}} can also defeat {{Plural|BotW|Water Octorok}} by detonating a [[Remote Bomb]] in the water or by performing [[Urbosa's Fury]], even if they are hiding underwater. {{Term|BotW|Link}} can also suspend a {{Term|BotW|Water Octorok}} in time with the [[Stasis]] [[Rune]]. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} gets close to a {{Term|BotW|Water Octorok}}, such as with the [[Cryonis]] Rune or a [[Raft]], he can hit it with any melee weapon after it jumps out of the water. Despite having 8 health points, {{Plural|BotW|Water Octorok}} will die from any amount of damage dealt to them. {{Plural|BotW|Water Octorok}} can be revived without the occurrence of a {{Term|BotW|Blood Moon|link}}. Upon defeat, {{Plural|BotW|Water Octorok}} may drop any combination of several types of [[Crab]]s and [[Fish#Breath of the Wild|Fish]], Octo Balloons, [[Octorok Eyeball]]s, [[Octorok Tentacle]]s, or [[Snail]]s.
