Deku Scrubs in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' are leafy little enemies found [[Inside the Deku Tree]]. Upon entering the rooms they appear in, these cute little things come out of the ground and start spitting [[Deku Nut]]s at [[Link]]. These are easily deflected using Link's [[Shield]], which sends the Deku Nuts back at the Deku Scrubs and damages them. The Deku Scrubs run around the room until Link catches up, at which time they give out some useful information. If Link gets too close to Deku Scrubs while they are still in their flower shrub, they will burrow under the ground.

{{Main|Mad Scrub}}
[[Mad Scrub]]s are like Deku Scrubs in the way that they attack by spitting nuts at Link; however, unlike the Deku Scrubs, these guys shoot three nuts in a row. They can be defeated by either deflecting their nuts back with Link's Shield, or simply using the [[Slingshot]]. Once Link has done this, he can go ahead and slash them with his Sword. These Deku Scrubs inhabit the [[Lost Woods]] in the Past, and [[Kokiri Forest]] in the Future.

[[Business Scrub]]s are found all over [[Hyrule]] in ''Ocarina of Time''. They attack the same way as regular Deku Scrubs, except they won't run away when Link defeats them. Instead, they'll sell Link something. The things they sell vary from [[Deku Shield]]s to upgrades to a [[Piece of Heart]].

====Forest Stage====
===Forest Stage===
The [[Forest Stage]] is a secret underground location in ''Ocarina of Time''. It is found in a hole in the Lost Woods, in which Link wears masks to present to the Deku Scrubs, and they'll give Link certain prizes for them. Different masks give different prizes. If Link wears the [[Skull Mask]], they will love him, and crowd around him. If Link wears the [[Mask of Truth]], they will be scared of him, and burrow underground if he gets close.

===Majora's Mask===
==''Majora's Mask''==
Deku Scrubs in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' are friendly creatures that inhabit the [[Deku Palace]] within the [[Southern Swamp]]. When Link first enters the Deku Palace, the Deku Scrubs are threatening to torture a [[Monkey]] who they thought had kidnapped the [[Deku Princess]] and taken her to the [[Woodfall Temple]]. No matter how much the monkey pleaded though, the [[Deku King]] and all the Deku Scrubs wanted to torture the innocent monkey.

====Business Scrub====
===Business Scrub===
There are five Business Scrubs in ''Majora's Mask'', and they are found in all major regions of [[Termina]] ([[Clock Town]], [[Southern Swamp]], [[Goron Village]], [[Zora Cape]], and [[Ikana Canyon]]), and they all serve the same purpose: Getting a [[Piece of Heart]]. Although the one in Clock Town does lead Link to a Piece of Heart, it is also crucial to get into the [[Clock Tower]] before Link gets the [[Zora Mask]].

====Mad Scrub====
===Mad Scrub===
Mad Scrubs return once again in ''Majora's Mask'', except there are much more ways to defeat them than in ''Ocarina of Time''. They are particularly annoying in [[Woodfall]] because they can knock Link off the ledge if he is too busy dealing with the [[Hiploop]]s.

{{Main|Deku Mask}}
{{Main|Deku Mask}}
The [[Deku Mask]] is an unique item, exclusive to ''Majora's Mask''. It houses the spirit of the [[Deku Butler's Son]], giving Link the ability to transform into a Deku Scrub at will. It is first acquired after the [[Skull Kid]] transforms Link into a Deku Scrub. Link spends the first three days as a Deku Scrub until finally confronting the Skull Kid at the Clock Tower. Here, Link uses a bubble blast to get the [[Ocarina of Time]] back from him, where he learns the [[Song of Time]] in a memory. Link plays this song to return to the First Day. Link talks to the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] who teaches him the [[Song of Healing]]. With this song played, Link gets to keep the Deku Mask.
