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



Echoes of Wisdom



Cacti can be found in the Gerudo Desert.

    Cacti found in the Gerudo Desert bear this sweet fruit. It's naturally insulated, so when cooked into a dish, it provides resistance against electricity.
