Deku Babas appear mostly throughout the Forest Temple, Kokiri Forest and inside the Deku Tree. Their appearance is very similar in other Zelda games. They have a large, bulbous head that is blue in color with purple speckles around the mouth. The inside of their mouth is a textured red and pink, and there are no noticeable teeth. Their body, in relation to their head, is very stick thin and green. They have little means of defense besides their strong teeth that they use to intimidate and attack with, if provoked.  
Deku Babas can be found within the [[Forest Temple]], [[Kokiri Forest]] and [[Inside the Deku Tree]]. They have a large, bulbous head that is blue in color with purple speckles around the mouth. The inside of their mouth is a textured red and pink, and there are no noticeable teeth. Their body, in relation to their head, is very thin and green. They have little means of defense besides their lunging bite that they use to intimidate and attack with when provoked.  


As in other Zelda games, their strategy for attack is based on surprise. When Link approaches a Deku Baba, it reveals itself and lunges out with a fierce bite. The most effective forms of defense against a Deku Baba are to block with Link's sheild or to simply back away. Long range attacks will also stun them, turning their body stick straight.  
When Link approaches a Deku Baba, it reveals itself and lunges out with a fierce bite. The most effective forms of defense against a Deku Baba are to block with Link's sheild or to simply back away. Since the Deku Baba is attached to the ground, it can only lunge our the length of its stem. Link can use projectile attacks such as a [[Deku Nut]] to stun a Deku Baba.  


If the Deku Baba attacks you as it lunges out, it will trap you in its mouth and continue to deal small amounts of damage until it releases you. If it is stunned prior to detection, it will stand stick straight. However, if left unharmed, it will start to rotate in a circular motion as it un-stuns itself. This movement can also hurt Link if he stands too close without attacking.

If you kill them when they are standing straight up, you will obtain a [[Deku Stick]].


If you kill Deku Babas when they are lunging out to attack you, you will obtain Deku Nuts. If you kill them when they are stick straight, you will obtain Deku Sticks.
In addition to standard Deku Babas there are two variations of the enemy in the form of a [[Big Deku Baba]] and a [[Withered Deku Baba]].

A Big Deku Baba is a larger variation of the standard Deku Baba. While it is a bit stronger than a standard Deku Baba, it has the same primary attacks. Big Deku Baba are found in the [[Kokiri Forest]] and the [[Forest Temple]] when Link is an adult.

Withered Deku Babas are weaker versions of the standard Deku Baba. These fellows will not even attack Link and the only way to get hurt is for Link to walk directly into them. A single sword slash will defeat them, and they will always leave behind a [[Deku Stick]] as a reward. Withered Deku Baba can be found within the [[Kokiri Forest]] and [[Inside The Deku Tree]]. This variation of a Deku Baba can also be found within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''.
