Boulder: Difference between revisions

The '''Boulders''' are more a trap rather than an enemy. They are an inanimate and undefeatable enemy found in a few [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]] games. They usually fall from above onto [[Link]] to damage him. There is no way to defeat boulders, they must be simply avoided.

Boulders are found in the mountainous regions at the northern part of the Overworld Map. They tumble down [[Death Mountain]], dealing a half heart of damage if they make contact with [[Link]].

In this game, boulders simply fly slowly back and forth in deserts. Since Link can't kill them, he must jump over them or blocking them with his shield. Blocking them with the shield can usually be more effective than jumping over them and such.  

Boulders in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' appear in an almost identical fashion as they did in ''The Legend of Zelda''. They will appear exclusively in the mountainous region of Death Mountain. Often accompanied by [[Deadrock]], boulders can be quite difficult to avoid without taking some damage.

These rocks can be found at the north-western part of [[Koholint Island]], near the entrance to [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]]. Boulders will fall from the top of the screen and bounce around the mountainous terrain. Avoiding these boulders is only challenging if Link is trying to climb a staircase. There is no way to defeat a boulder. It may be fastest to get hit on purpose and continue on Link's way, instead of trying to dodge them. Luckily, boulders only do half a heart of damage, so Link is not in danger of dying unless his hearts are very low.  

 

Boulders appeared in many areas in the world.  

They don't really move at all, acting like resilient obstacles, blocking areas of ingress to Link. Normal boulders can be destoyed with [[Bombs]] to clear the way for Link.

Boulders can be found on [[Restoration Wall]] near [[Symmetry City]], they fall from holes at the top of the wall and try to hurt Link when he are climbing it. They can be quite pesky, especially if Link have lower heart levels. Link must try to steer out of the way to avoid these boulders since he can't defeat them.
