Bubbles appear within many dungeons of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. When [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] touches one of these enemies, he will not be able to swing his sword for several seconds. In the [[Second Quest]], there are [[Red Bubble]]s and [[Blue Bubble]]s. If Link ever touches a Red Bubble, he won't be able to use his [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|sword]] at all. In order to regain control over his sword, he must touch a Blue Bubble, visit a [[Fairy Fountain]], drink a [[Life Potion|potion]], or pick up a [[Triforce Shard#The Legend of Zelda|Triforce fragment]].

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.

Bubbles not only cause damage to Link, but they also steal some of his magic power like [[Anti-Fairy]]s in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''.

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.

{{main|Whisp}}
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.

Bubbles appear as an odd mix of a [[Keese]] and a skull. Despite their creepy looks, Bubbles are some of the easier enemies in the game. [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] can shoot them down from afar with arrows, or simply strike them once with his sword, causing them to retract their wings and fall helplessly to the ground. Do NOT perform the [[Hidden Skills#Ending Blow|Ending Blow]] when a Bubble is in this state. It is pretty hard to hit, and will leave Link with his sword planted in the ground, rather it is easier to just strike it with your sword normally while it is in this helpless state. After a few moments, the wingless Bubble will grow wings again and resume flying. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' also contains Fire and Ice Bubbles.

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.
