'''Bubbles''' are floating skulls that are often wreathed in fire. Their name likely refers to their circular shape in earlier titles. They were originally depicted mostly as an obstacle, though they have since been depicted as an enemy. In some games, contact with a Bubble can [[curse]] [[Link]] to be unable to use his [[sword]]. In some later games, their element and ability to fly can be removed, causing them to hop around defenselessly on the ground. | '''Bubbles''' are floating skulls that are often wreathed in fire.

Bubbles first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', where Bubbles appear in several rooms starting with the third labyrinth, [[Manji]]. They rapidly flash between the game's four palettes, and look slightly different in every labyrinth, as well as if Link has the [[Blue Ring]] or [[Red Ring]]. If Link touches a Bubble, he will lose the ability to use his sword until it wears off. Bubbles cannot be defeated. | |||

In the [[Second Quest]], Bubbles that appear solely as blue or red appear in some rooms.

They are only half Link's height and no longer curse him, but drain some of his [[Magic Meter]] instead. They ricochet around the rooms diagonally, but temporarily stop when Link attacks one with his sword. They can be defeated after being hit a large amount of times. [[Giant Bubble]]s also appear. | ||

They are depicted as small skulls with red circles spinning around them, and are a common enemy in dungeons. They bounce around rooms diagonally and drain Link's magic, but if [[Magic Powder]] is sprinkled on one, it will turn into a [[fairy|faerie]]. A [[Shūdan Bubble|group of four]] appears in one part of the [[Eastern Palace]], guarding a [[pot]] over a [[switch]], but can be scattered once all the other enemies in the room are defeated. The Bubbles' original role of cursing Link is used with the [[Usagi Beam]], which pursues Link and turns him temporarily into [[Bunny Link]] if it touches him. | ||

While flying, they occasionally make buzzing grunt-like sounds. If deflected with the [[Hylian Shield]] or [[Mirror Shield]], they will lose their flames and hop along the ground, at which point they can be defeated. They can also be defeated while in flight with an [[arrow]]. If a [[Bombchu]] is released near an active Blue Bubble, it will frantically chase the Bombchu. | ||

They jump around randomly while making hoarse laughter-like noises when Link approaches, eventually going back to the lava. They can be deflected with a shield, but their speed and movement pattern makes this difficult. In [[Master Quest]], they sometimes appear elsewhere, such as in the floor in a child-only room in the [[Spirit Temple]], where most of Link's arsenal does nothing against them. | ||

They act mostly like Green Bubbles but lack any fire at all, instead trailing a white blur. very so often, they stop and spin in place. Despite being the final type introduced, they are the simplest to defeat. | ||
In the original game | In the original game all Bubbles' eye colors are determined by Link's current [[tunic]] color. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D]]'', they instead all have turquoise eyes. | ||
====''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''==== | ====''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''==== | ||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', only Blue and Red Bubbles reappear. Blue Bubbles appear at night in [[Termina Field]] and [[Ikana Canyon]], as well as a passageway in the [[Stone Tower Temple]] when it is inverted. They look and act as they do in ''Ocarina of Time'', but no longer pursue Bombchu and are now capable of cursing Link. When cursed, Link turns slightly blue and cannot use his sword. The curse can be waited out or instantly dispelled with a [[Blue Potion]] or the [[Song of Storms]]. Red Bubbles appear at the bottom of the central room in the [[Snowhead Temple]], and act exactly like they do in ''Ocarina of Time''. If they are all defeated, a [[treasure chest]] appears. | |||
In the original, Bubbles | In the original, all Bubbles are given red eyes, though in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D]]'', they are turquoise, like in ''Ocarina of Time 3D''. | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', Anti-Fairies look and act as they do in ''Link's Awakening'', and can be defeated with the [[boomerang]]. An alternate version of Bubbles called [[Wisp|Whisp]]s appear as well, looking and acting like the Bubbles from the first game, but with a static red palette. | |||
====''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''==== | ====''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''==== | ||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'', Bubbles lack wings and are surrounded by colored smoke-like fire. They are also much larger than before. The smoke can be removed with the Deku Leaf, which also knocks them to the ground. The red ones first appear in the [[Tower of the Gods]] and set Link on fire if touched. The blue ones appear solely in the [[Earth Temple]], and curse Link, which now causes him to not be able to us any items at all as long as he is in the dark, an effect shared with the temple's blue mist. | |||
====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''==== | ====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''==== | ||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', Bubbles resemble their appearance in ''A Link to the Past'', though their fire is heart-shaped. They are invincible, but only appear in the [[Dark World]], with harmless shadows marking their location in the Light World. | |||
====''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''==== | ====''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''==== | ||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', Bubbles first appear in the second half of the [[Arbiter's Grounds]]. They sit dormant amongst the generic liftable skulls, but when approached, sprout wings and begin flying. They can be recognized from far away by their distinct inhuman shape, however, and attacked using arrows before they can start flying. The fireless type is considered to be the "normal" Bubble in this game. Fire Bubbles also appear in the Arbiter's Grounds, while Ice Bubbles appear in [[Snowpeak Ruins]]. | |||
====''The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass''==== | |||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass]]'', Bubbles again appear in fire and ice varieties, able to burn or freeze Link. They cannot be attacked with anything but arrows unless their respective cover is dispelled by the boomerang, which also takes away their ability to float. | |||
====''The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks''==== | ====''The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks''==== | ||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks]]'', Bubbles are found in the Forest Temple, and are surrounded by a purple cloud. The cloud can be removed with the [[Whirlwind]], rendering them flightless and vulnerable. They are also used as projectiles by [[Mothula]]s. | |||
==='' | ====''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds''==== | ||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', Bubbles look and fly around diagonally like the ones from ''A Link to the Past'', but are far less common and instead separated into fire and ice varieties. Once again, their cloud can be removed, this time with the [[Tornado Rod]]. Ice Bubbles can also be nullified with the [[Fire Rod]]. | |||

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', Bubbles in different colors appear with their ''Ocarina of Time'' design as enemies in the [[Smash Run]] mode. A mistake in their trophy description claims they also appeared in "''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''," though this is not the case. | |||
