'''Thwomps''' are small stone blocks which appear as obstacles in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]''. Despite being named [[Thwomp]], they are the same enemy as [[mariowiki:Thwimp|Thwimp]]s from the ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series, according to their Japanese name.

Thwomps[1][2] are a small variation of standard Thwomps. They appear as obstacles in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. They also appear in the Mario franchise, where they are instead known as Thwimps.

They act similar to Thwomps of the 2D Super Mario games, waiting for Link to approach and then slamming the ground when he gets close. Their role is the same between The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, and they are found only in sidescrolling passages of the Face Shrine and Snake's Remains dungeons of the respective games. Thwomps are cycloptic, like Spiked Thwomps, but have spikes like most Thwomps of the Mario franchise.

Link cannot defeat Thwomps, although he can avoid them by using the Pegasus Boots (or a Pegasus Seed in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons) to run underneath them, or goad them into dropping and passing under while they rise back up. In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX and the Nintendo Switch remake, they are blue while hanging in the air, but turn angry and red when attacking.
