'''Boulders''', formerly known simply as '''rocks''', are large, heavy stones that roll around due to their round shape. They are mostly encountered as an obstacle, but on occasion, they can be used to the player's advantage.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', rocks tumble from the top of the screen at the base of [[Death Mountain]]. They are completely indestructible, and as such must be avoided. Their erratic downward bouncing is kept in later 2D games.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', boulders now roll around, sometimes back and forth, sometimes in loops, and sometimes in a straight path. If one hits Link, it bounces back, holds still for a moment, then continues on its way. They are common dungeon obstacles, though the first one appears in a secluded part of [[Kokiri Forest]]. In the future, they roll down Death Mountain.

Additionally, stationary boulders in three types appear. Light brown ones can be destroyed with explosives or the [[Megaton Hammer]], dark brown ones can only be destroyed with the hammer, and gray ones can only be destroyed by lifting them with the [[Silver Gauntlets]] and throwing them.

In both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', boulders appear during boss battles, where they rain from the ceiling during the first battle against [[Onox]] in the former game and against [[Head Thwomp]] when using its purple face in the latter game, where the respective boss sometimes crashes to the ground to cause several to fall. They also appear on the [[Restoration Wall]] in the latter game, using their original behavior. In both games, they are used to represent falling rubble when one of the villains' lairs begins crumbling, being [[Onox's Castle]], the [[Black Tower Turret]] (where they are dark blue), and the [[Room of Rites]]. Unlike most entities also in ''Link's Awakening'', they use different sprites than in that game.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', boulders appear in the Death Mountain area and look like the ones in ''A Link to the Past'', but brown. They first appear in [[Death Mountain Foothills]], where they replace bombs as [[Hinox]]es' main weapons. Later, on [[the Mountain Path]], stationary ones appear in caves and can be rolled. When they roll, they bump along whatever path is set before them, and if they fall into a pit, act as a bridge across it. Not all of them lead to pits, however, and as such may roll in loops and present a danger to the Links. Higher up the path, some areas give boulders their typical 2D behavior, except in order to progress they need to fall into further pits in the path. These ones, however, only stay on the pit's surface for a short amount of time before falling in all the way. Finally, the [[Helmaroc King]] drops them during his fight.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks]]'', boulders look and act like they do in ''Phantom Hourglass'', but are much more common. They initially appear in the [[Ocean Temple]]. A special stationary boulder, larger than the others and darker colored with blue spots, appears late in the [[Fire Temple (The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks)|Fire Temple]] and contains a stone platform that can be placed on lava spurts to get across. This type of boulder also appears in [[Cragma]]'s fight.

In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', boulders appear during the [[Land of Myth]] stage of Legend Mode. They are shot into the Allied Base by the Gorons' two Boulder [[Keep]]s, and as such are a major threat throughout that stage. Once those keeps are captured, the allied forces begin shooting them up into [[Goron City]], destroying [[Darunia]]'s [[rock sirloin]] stockpile, preventing him from healing himself further.

In ''[[Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer featuring The Legend of Zelda]]'', boulders appear solely in the future Death Mountain, available only through DLC in the digital release and the base version of the physical release. They move down the mountain in droves to the beat, moving one diagonal space at a time. If the player character moves into a spot that will occupy a boulder the next beat according to its path, they will be hurt and the boulder will pause, even if it is on a much higher ledge. If it hits a horizontal wall or the side of the bridge, it will stop and disappear after a few moments. If all the enemies on Death Mountain are defeated, the boulders' presence will keep the beat meter going. If it is left and returned to after this, the beat meter may disappear, with the boulders instead moving in time with the player's movements.
