'''Buzz Blobs''' are green blob-like creatures with two round feet. They appear as enemies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series, and their debut is in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''. In the games, Buzz Blobs move back and forth slowly. [[Link]] must avoid contact with a Buzz Blob, even with his [[sword]], otherwise the Buzz Blob electrocutes him. [[ChuChu]]s are blob enemies which are somewhat similar to Buzz Blobs except they cannot electrocute Link. In some games, a Buzz Blob transforms into a [[Cukeman]] if Link sprinkles [[Magic Powder]] on it.

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.

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.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', Buzz Blobs are yellow 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 Hut, despite not having an item to change them. Additionally, they and Blobs appear in large numbers in the group of trees just north of [[Link's house]]. Both Blobs and Buzz Blobs walk slowly in Link's direction in this game.
 
===''The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes''===
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]], with Buzz Blobs additionally appearing in 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]].
