Icicles are recurring Enemies and Objects in The Legend of Zelda series.(OoT3DOcarina of Time 3D | MMMajora's Mask | TotKTears of the Kingdom)[1][2][3][4][name references needed] Icicles go unnamed in Ocarina of Time, Four Swords, Twilight Princess, and Cadence of Hyrule.

Characteristics

Ocarina of Time



Icicles appear in the Ice Cavern.

Majora's Mask



An Icicle is present at the entrance to the Snowhead region. Link can knock it down using his Hero's Bow and Arrows. Icicles also appear in Snowhead Temple.

Four Swords



Twilight Princess

An Icicle is present on the frozen Waterfall in Zora's Domain, when the land is covered in Twilight. It falls and nearly hits Wolf Link as he climbs the Waterfall with Midna.

Tears of the Kingdom

Icicles can be found on the ceilings of Caves in the Hebra Region. When struck by Arrows, thrown Materials, or Weapons, they fall down, becoming Fusible. When Fused with Weapons, they cause them to emit Ice when swung, freezing Enemies. Shields with Icicles Fused to them cause Link's Parries to damage and freeze Enemies. The additional attack power granted by Fusing Icicle to Weapons varies based on the type of Icicle used.

Frost and King Gleeoks cause Icicles to rain from the sky above Link when badly injured. These Icicles are significantly larger than those found naturally, and cannot be Fused to Weapons or Shields unlike their natural counterparts. Recall can be used on them to bring them back up to the Gleeok's level. If they fall on him, he will be damaged and knocked back.

Echoes of Wisdom



Icicles are sharp chunks of Ice that can be found in the ceilings of side-scrolling Caves on Hebra Mountain. Icicles can be moved using Bind and followed using Reverse Bond, and cannot be Learned as an Echo.

Other Appearances

Cadence of Hyrule

The following section is not part of the Zelda canon and should not be taken as such.

Icicles can be found in the Frozen Grotto, where they are marked by shadows on the ground with fragments of Ice scattering down from the ceiling onto them. Icicles are also summoned to fall on the tile the hero is standing on by Wizzroboe as one of its attacks. When a hero or an Enemy walks through the shadow, an Icicle will fall down on the tile the shadow was on, turning said tile into Ice and freezing anything standing on it in an Ice Block that shatters within a beat.[5] Falling Icicles take away half a Heart.

Being killed by an Icicle in the main floors of the Grotto provides no "Defeated By:" message on the Game Over screen. Deaths by Icicles summoned by Wizzroboe are attributed to the Boss.[6]
