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

==''The Adventure of Link''==
In ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', boulders simply fly slowly back and forth in deserts. Since Link cannot kill them, he must jump over them or block them with the shield. Blocking them with the shield can usually be more effective than jumping over them and such.

[[File:04Boulder.png|thumb|Boulder from ''Ocarina of Time'']] Boulders periodically erupt from [[Death Mountain]] and fall on Link in the upper areas of the [[Death Mountain Trail]] both as a child and as an adult until the completion of the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]]. The [[Death Mountain Trail Gatekeeper]] warns child Link about this, and advises him to get a [[Hylian Shield]] before going up.{{Ref|''[[Ocarina of Time Text Dump|Ocarina of Time]]''.|If you're going to climb Death Mountain, you should equip a proper shield!

Boulders also freely roll around several places - including the area of [[Kokiri Forest]] where Link obtains the [[Kokiri Sword]]; and in multiple rooms in the Fire Temple itself - and hurt Link if they roll into him. In the Fire Temple, they also fall from the ceiling during the boss fight with [[Volvagia]].

==''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.

==''Four Swords Adventures''==
Boulders can be found on [[The Mountain Path]]. Like other games, they often fall down and damage the Links if they are hit. There are also boulders that can be pushed by two Links at once, which will then begin rolling in a pre-determined pattern and will damage anyone that they hit along the way. If either type of boulder lands in a pit, it will become stuck and function as a platform that can be walked on.


==''The Minish Cap''==
==''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.

==''Breath of the Wild''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', Boulders are found all throughout the Overworld. Link is able to use [[Stasis]] to freeze them and then knock them far off in the distance. Often Link will need to move a Boulder out of the way, or push it into a hole in order to earn a [[Korok Seed]].
==''Tears of the Kingdom''==
{{FutureRelease|section|date=12 May 2023}}
{{stub|section}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]'', Link is able to use the [[Fuse]] ability to merge a Boulder with one of his weapons. He can fuse a Boulder with a [[Tree Branch]] to create a makeshift hammer.
