'''Bloobers'''{{Ref|[https://historyofhyrule.com/publications/guide_la_np/pages/large/101.jpg The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide pg.102]|Like most of the denizens of the deep in this game, these Bloobers are easy to defeat. Just use your Sword as you're swimming.}} are enemies from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]'', pg. 167}} They are originally from the ''[[Mario]]'' franchise, where they are named "Bloober" in their earlier appearances but '''Blooper''' in their later appearances.

Bloobers are octopus-like enemies which are only found in the underwater sections of [[Catfish's Maw]].{{Ref|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150722213853/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/b.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]|Resembling a cross between an octopus and a squid, Bloobers plague the deep waterways of Koholint Island. They mean no harm, but an involuntary reaction causes them to inflict a poisonous sting on anyone who touches them.}} Although they are very weak and can be defeated with one hit, they may be difficult to avoid if they ramming into [[Link (A Link to the Past)#Link's Awakening|Link]].

Unless they are coming at Link, it may be best to just avoid them. Keep in mind that Bloobers are the fastest underwater enemy in the game. It is best to be below a Bloober rather than above them, because they move upwards faster than they do downwards. When Link is near a Bloober, he must swing his sword repeatedly to defeat it.
