Buzz Blobs are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series. These enemies are covered with electricity and do share some similarities to Chuchus. Unlike most Chuchus from other Zelda games, if Link attacks them with his sword alone, he will take damage from the electric shock. The best way to defeat them is with ranged weapons. Non-electrified versions of these enemies, known simply as Blobs can be found in numerous Zelda titles.

Using Magic Powder on a Buzz Blob causes it to transform into a more goofy-looking and talkative variant called Cukeman.

A Link to the Past

Buzz Blobs are light world enemies that are common in northeastern Hyrule. Many can be found near the Witch's Hut. They move slowly, but their electricity can make them a nuisance. There are many ways to defeat them. Stunning or freezing Buzz Blobs can remove the effects of their electricity, making it possible to hit them with a sword. Ranged weapons, such as the bow and arrow, make defeating them a bit easier. However, the most efficient way to defeat a Buzz Blob is with the Golden Sword. Sprinkling Magic Powder on one will turn it into a Cukeman.

Link's Awakening

Buzz Blobs are strange green enemies made of goo. Electricity flows through their bodies, and Link will get shocked if making contact or attacking with the sword. Buzz Blobs will wander around randomly, and are not aggressive to Link. Using the Boomerang, Bow, or the Magic Rod are all effective methods of defeating a Buzz Blob. By sprinkling Magic Powder on a Buzz Blob, it will turn into a Cukeman.

A Link Between Worlds

In A Link Between Worlds, Buzz Blobs are divided into two distinct enemies: Blobs and Buzz Blobs.

Blob

These enemies look exactly like Buzz Blobs in other games, though they have no electrical charge. They can be found almost anywhere in Hyrule, except for caves and dungeons. They can be easily defeated with a sword.

Buzz Blob

Buzz Blobs are cousins and stronger versions of regular Blobs. They appear wherever regular Blobs do, and cannot normally be defeated with a sword. To lower their defenses, Link can use the Tornado Rod on them, reverting them to Blobs for a limited time. The Lamp and Net can also be used to defeat them.
