In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', Buzz Blobs appear somewhat uncommonly across [[Hyrule]], but are mostly concentrated around the [[Witch's Hut]], likely as a subtle way to get players to try the Magic Powder item on them.. They move in a slow, somewhat random fashion, though at times they do seem to deliberately get in Link's way. If hit with the sword, Link is electrocuted, though they can be safely attacked if stunned first. If Link uses some of the Magic Powder obtained from the [[Witch]] on them, they become Cukemen.

They move in a slow, somewhat random fashion, though at times they do seem to deliberately get in Link's way. If hit with the sword, Link is electrocuted, though they can be safely attacked if stunned first, and once Link obtains the [[Master Sword Lv3|Golden Sword]], they can be attacked normally. If Link uses some of the Magic Powder obtained from the [[Witch]] on them, they become cukemen.

Buzz Blobs reappear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. The first one is seen outside the Witch's Hut, similar to their concentration in the respective location in the previous game. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]'' and [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|the Nintendo Switch remake]], a [[Giant Buzz Blob]] appears as an optional miniboss.

Buzz Blobs reappear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. They act the same as in their debut appearance. The first Buzz Blob is seen outside the [[Witch's Hut]], similar to their concentration in the respective location in the previous game. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]'' and the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], the [[Giant Buzz Blob]] is an optional miniboss in the [[Color Dungeon]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', Buzz Blobs can no longer be attacked while stunned, and are instead changed into Cukeman through [[Mystery Seed]]s. In the former game, they appear prominently in the [[Natzu]] region, while in the later, they appear mainly in the [[Nuun]] region; both of these regions additionally change depending on which [[Strange Flute]] Link has received. Also in the former game, the [[Manhandla]] that appears seems to be a giant Buzz Blob, having a similar appearance and electrical abilities.

In the former game, they appear prominently in [[Holodrum Plain]] and [[Natzu Prairie]], while in the latter, they appear mainly in [[Nuun Highlands]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', Buzz Blobs are found in [[Death Mountain Foothills]], where a huge horde of them is found, and the [[Lost Woods]]. Due to there being no relevant item, they no longer can be turned into cukemen. Aside from simply waddling around, Buzz Blobs can perform short leaps at the Links.

===''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds''===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', Buzz Blobs are yellow and visibly and audibly spark electricity as they walk to distinguish them from the new [[Blob]] enemy, which is essentially a non-electric (and as such, defenseless) version of the enemy. They still appear around the [[Witch's House]], despite not having an item to change them. Additionally, they and Blobs appear in large numbers in the group of trees between [[Link's House]] and the [[Blacksmith's Forge]]. Both Blobs and Buzz Blobs walk slowly in Link's direction in this game. They are among the only enemies Link can meet before [[Yuga]] invades the [[Sanctuary]], as they appear in the [[Lost Woods]] before then.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes]]'', Blobs and Buzz Blobs both appear as they do in ''A Link Between Worlds'', appearing in the [[Woodlands]] and the [[Riverside]]. The second level of the Woodlands is themed after them, being called [[Buzz Blob Cave]]. The midboss for the Woodlands area (encountered in the aforementioned level) is a giant Buzz Blob with a crown called the [[Electric Blob King]], while the midboss for the Riverside area (encountered in the [[Abyss of Agony]]) is a pink, feminine version called the [[Electric Blob Queen]]. Dark, [[curse]]-bearing Buzz Blobs additionally appear in the [[Den of Trials]].
