'''Bubbles''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]'', pg. 169}} They typically consist of a floating head with flames around it. In some games, bubbles have wings, too. There are many different varieties, each with their own distinct color. They attack by ramming into [[Link]], which causes an effect that varies between games. In some games, Bubbles are invincible.

[[File:Bubble-Gif-AoL.gif|left|]]

Bubbles ricochet off the walls at 45 degree angles. Depending on [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)#The Adventure of Link|Link]]'s [[Attack Level|attack level]], they can take as many as a staggering 126 hits at level 1 down to eleven hits at level 8. A more powerful variant of the Bubble is found in the [[Great Palace]] that hits much harder, but yields less than half of the normal experience.

===Blue Bubble===

Blue Bubbles are commonly found within the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]]. They float around randomly and only pursue [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] upon close proximity. A simple [[arrow]] to the skull is enough to knock them to the ground. A follow up with the sword is enough to defeat them.

===Red Bubble===

Red Bubbles, commonly referred to as Fire Bubbles, only appear in lava fields and shoot up and out while bouncing around before entering the lava pool again. The only effective way in combating this form of Bubble is a deflection from a shield followed by an arrow or sword strike.

===Green Bubble===

Green Bubbles are the more tame form of the Bubble. They have fixed motion paths and do not pursue Link or move fast. The Green Bubble can only be attacked while the Green flame is missing, which occurs every few seconds.

===White Bubble===

Only found within the [[Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Spirit Temple]], this Bubble species flies at a fast rate of speed in the air before stopping and extinguishes its flame before redirecting itself. Just like the Green Bubble, this Bubble is only vulnerable when its flame disappears.

==''Majora's Mask''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', only Blue and Red Bubbles. Blue Bubbles can now jinx [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]], disabling Link's sword icon for some time, akin to Bubbles from ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. The jinx can be negated by drinking a [[Blue Potion]] or playing the [[Song of Storms]].

The jinx does not affect inventory items, including the [[Great Fairy's Sword]], nor the moves Link has on his sword button while transformed, such as [[Goron Link]]'s Punch.

==''Oracle of Seasons'' & ''Oracle of Ages''==

A very similar enemy known as a [[Whisp]] appears in both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''. They are floating skulls with red "bubbles" floating around the outside of it. They bounce on walls and try to bump into [[Link (Oracle Series)|Link]], which causes him damage and disable the use of his weapons for a limited amount of time. There is no way to defeat this enemy and it can be very annoying when there are several enemies to battle at once. Simply try to avoid this enemy whenever it appears. Link can acquire the [[Whisp Ring]], which makes Link immune from losing his swords ability.

==''The Wind Waker''==

===Red Bubble===

===Blue Bubble===

==''Four Swords''==

==''Four Swords Adventures''==

Bubbles are seen periodically throughout the game. Unlike most enemies, they can exist in the [[Dark World]]. If they touch [[Link (Four Swords Adventures)|Link]], they will deal a small amount of damage. They cannot be destroyed by Link's sword. Jumping over them with the [[Roc's Feather]] is efficient in avoiding them.

==''Twilight Princess''==

 

 

===Fire Bubble===

===Ice Bubble===

==''Phantom Hourglass''==

Fire and Ice Bubbles make an appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. They first appear in the [[Temple of Fire]], and reappear in many of the later temples. To defeat one, first whack it with the [[Boomerang]], it will cause it to jump around helplessly. Then, use [[Link (The Wind Waker)#Phantom Hourglass)|Link]]'s [[sword]] to finish it off. Attacking before the flames are dispelled will cause Link to be burned or frozen.  

==''Spirit Tracks''==

A Bubble appears for a short period of time when [[Link (Spirit Tracks)|Link]] is battling with a [[Mothula]]. The mothula releases the Bubble and it flies towards Link. Link then uses the whirlwind to launch the Bubble back at mothula.

The Bubble takes a similar form as it did in ''Phantom Hourglass''. However it is surrounded by a purple cloud around it, which differs from ''Phantom Hourglass'' Bubbles that were surrounded by either red or light blue clouds, signifying whether the Bubble was fire or ice based. Perhaps the purple signifies that it is a neutral Bubble or that this is just the mothula released Bubbles.
