A Link to the Past
In A Link to the Past, boulders appear in an almost identical fashion as they do in The Legend of Zelda. They appear exclusively in the mountainous region of Death Mountain. Often accompanied by Deadrock, boulders can be quite difficult to avoid without taking some damage.
Link's Awakening
Boulders are found at the northwestern part of Koholint Island, near the entrance to Turtle Rock. Boulders 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.
Ocarina of Time
Boulders appear in many areas in the overworld. They do not really move at all, acting like resilient obstacles, blocking areas of ingress to Link. Normal boulders can be destroyed with bombs to clear the way for Link.
Oracle of Ages
Boulders are found on Restoration Wall near Symmetry City. They fall from holes at the top of the wall and try to hurt Link when he is climbing it. They can be quite pesky, especially if Link has lower heart levels. Link must try to steer out of the way to avoid these boulders since he cannot defeat them.
The Minish Cap
Boulders appear on Mt. Crenel. They rain down on top of Link while he is on the climbing wall. They can be difficult to dodge due to an erratic bouncing pattern.
Non-Canon Appearances

This section describes a subject that is or may be outside the core Zelda canon. |
Battle Quest
|
This explosives-filled boulder is made for rolling down slopes. I highly suggest you shoot it BEFORE it reaches you. |
|---|
In Battle Quest, boulders first appear on the Road to the Goron Mines, rolling down slopes. They are especially dangerous since they are packed with explosives. The explosives must be struck by the archer before reaching Links in order to avoid damage.
The Faces of Evil
Boulders appear in The Faces of Evil in largely the same fashion as their The Wand of Gamelon counterparts.
The Wand of Gamelon
Boulders appear in multiple variations, but they all serve the same basic purpose. They'll fall from up top with the intent of trying to harm Zelda. Most boulders fall randomly, so just be weary, keeping a quick reaction time once you see one appear. They often appear in bunches and can be hard to avoid as they fall rather quickly. Boulders are endless and there is no way to defeat individual ones, so just try to avoid them so you do not take damage.
