Real Bombchu,(MMMajora's Mask | FSAFour Swords Adventures)[1] also known as simply Bombchus,(TWWThe Wind Waker)[2] are recurring Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series. They are named after the Bombchu, a type of Bomb.
Characteristics
Majora's Mask
It runs at you with its pack of explosives, so protect yourself or else!
In Majora's Mask, Real Bombchu are a living version of the Bombchu Bomb. In-universe, they may be the source of inspiration for the mechanical Bombchu. These creatures run around with Bombs hanging from their tails, waiting to blow themselves up in order to damage their enemies. They can run across water. If they sight Link, they will run after him and explode either upon contact or after a short while.
An Arrow from the Hero's Bow will make the Real Bombchus explode; however, if Link uses the Hookshot, the Real Bombchu will just be reeled in towards him and explode upon contact. In addition, if Link raises his Shield when facing a Real Bombchu, it will bounce off and fall backwards, then explode. Like most enemies, Real Bombchu cannot hurt Link if he is on Epona. Wearing the Stone Mask will cause them to completely ignore Link.
The Wind Waker
Favorite Food: All-Purpose Bait
These creatures attack spontaneously and attempt to steal Rupees. The ones that carry bombs around are apparently known as Bombchus.
In The Wind Waker, Bombchus are simply greenish-grey, fuchsia-striped Rats holding Bombs. Their main habitat is the Forsaken Fortress, appearing during Link's second exploration of the Dungeon, but they can also be found in a Submarine near Headstone Island. Bombchus can be seen emerging from Rat holes, carrying a Bomb overhead as they scurry around. When a Bombchu notices that Link is nearby, it lights the Bomb's wick by scraping it against the ground, then runs closer to him and throws it, taking cover to watch it explode before returning to the Rat hole to retrieve a new one.
Four Swords Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, Bombchus appear in the Temple of Ice and the Tower of Winds stages. They swarm the room, exploding upon impact with any of the Links. They spawn from holes in the ground and will only stop appearing when the holes are closed upon activating a switch.
In Shadow Battles, three Real Bombchus can be released from a Crystal Ball.
