Characteristics
A Link to the Past
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, Cacti can be found in the Yarna Desert. When Link touches them, he takes half a Heart of damage, or a quarter of a Heart with the Blue Mail.
Oracle of Seasons
Cacti can be found in the Samasa Desert in Oracle of Seasons.
Skyward Sword
Cacti can be found in the Lanayru Desert in Skyward Sword. When struck with Link's Sword, the struck area of their skin falls off and they bounce back and rebound at him. If Link is hit by a Cactus with skin in the area that hits him, he takes a quarter of a Heart of damage. If he is struck by an area without skin, it will only bounce off him without dealing damage.
Cacti may either have Bomb Flowers or closed red Flowers growing off them. When red Flowers are struck, they open and reveal either Deku Nuts or a Heart.
Breath of the Wild
Cacti in Breath of the Wild sometimes have Voltfruits growing from them.[2]
Tears of the Kingdom
Other Appearances

Hyrule Warriors
Cadence of Hyrule
Cacti are stationary plants found in the Desert. When the current hero walks into one, they inflict half of a Heart in damage. They cannot be moved or destroyed.
