A [[Twilit Baba]] serves as the the Twilit version of a standard Deku Baba. They have a slightly different appearance but all of their attacks are the same. However, Twilit Babas cause more damage to Link than standard Deku Babas.

There are two known variations of Deku Babas in [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Skyward_Sword|Skyward Sword]], but the two are very similar.
Deku Babas in [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Skyward_Sword|Skyward Sword]] resemble their earlier counterparts but the method to defeat them has changed quite a bit. No longer can Link just use his sword to cut of the head of the Deku Baba, but instead, he needs to make precision sword slashes in the proper direction in order to harm them. There are two variations of Deku Baba within Skyward Sword, a standard blue one, as well as a more powerful golden variation.
 
Deku Baba come out from underground and try to bite Link if he gets too close. Deku Baba will open up their mouths horizontally or vertically and Link must use a proper sword slash to separate their mouths into two. Alternatively, Link can toss or roll a bomb towards a Deku Baba and it will gobble it up, causing the bomb to explode within its mouth.
 
Some Deku Babas can be seen hanging from walls or the ceiling, and they are out of reach from Link's sword. In order to defeat these fellows, Link must use the [[Beetle]]. After sending out the beetle, Link can track its direction so that it cuts down the Deku Babas from their stems. Unlike in Twilight Princess, once a Deku Baba is cut from its stem it will be defeated. Link can also use his bow and arrows to cut these Deku Babas from their stems.


===Blue Variation===
Deku Babas greatly resemble their appearance from previous Zelda titles. They come out from underground and try to bite Link if he gets too close. A new feature is that when battling the Deku Babas, Link must slash in the direction that the enemy's mouth is open. Some Deku Babas need to be sliced vertically while others need to be sliced horizontally. Alternatively, Link can toss or roll a bomb towards a Deku Baba and it will gobble it up before the bomb explodes within its mouth.

===Gold Deku Baba===
The Golden Deku Baba is a stronger variation of the standard Deku Baba. It attacks Link in all the same ways that a standard Deku Baba does by lunging towards Link and attempting to bite him. Its mouth is divided into quarters, rather than the two halves of a standard Deku Baba. The golden Deku Baba will change how its mouth opens mid-battle, sometimes opening horizontally and other times opening vertically. Link will need to read which way the mouth opens and quickly deliver a sword slash in the proper direction. Golden babas are also a bit stronger and will take multiple hits to defeat. Much like standard Deku Babas, Link can toss a bomb towards the golden deku baba to defeat it.

The Golden Deku Baba is a stronger variation of the standard Deku Baba. It attacks Link in the same ways that a standard Deku Baba does: lunging towards Link and attempting to bite him. Its mouth is divided into quarters, rather than the two halves of a standard Deku Baba. This allows the golden Baba to change how its mouth opens mid-battle, meaning that Link may have to change his attacks throughout the fight. Additionally, unlike standard Deku Babas, golden Babas take multiple hits to defeat and can be quite challenging.
