Bombite

Bombites , also known as Buzz Bombs , are explosive bomb enemies that appear in the Key Cavern in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. They are bombs with two eyes and two feet. Their appearance and behavior are similar to Bob-ombs from the Mario franchise, which themselves appear in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.

A few Bombites usually appear together in an enclosed area. Bombites move around the area slowly, and Link is usually required to e. There are two types of Bombites; in the original Game Boy version, they cannot be visually distinguished, although in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX and the Nintendo Switch remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, they can be distinguished from wearing either red or green shoes.

Red Bombites are more common than the green variant. If Link strikes his Sword at a Bombite, this causes their fuse to be lit. If Link hits a Red Bombite, it quickly runs around the room in random directions and bounces off the walls. After a few seconds, the red Bombite explodes. There are only three green Bombites in the game, and each of them appear together in an enclosed room. If Link hits a green Bombite, it grins and starts to follow him around. Shortly after, the Bombite's face is replaced with a three-second countdown. When the countdown reaches zero, the green Bombite explodes. Link can avoid the blast by striking the Bombite away with his sword.

Zelda Universe
"Koholint Island is home to two different kinds of living Bombites. One counts down from three before exploding, and the other ricochets around the room before blowing up."
