Red Bubbles are a variant of Bubbles in The Legend of Zelda series.^[1] They are always surrounded by a red fire that indicates when they are alive.

The Legend of Zelda

Red Bubbles appear exclusively in the Second Quest of The Legend of Zelda. Found in various dungeons, they appear similar to the standard Bubbles that had previously appeared in the main quest. However, if one comes into contact with Link, he will lose his ability to use his sword. This ability won't return in a few moments, but instead, it will remain until Link finds a Blue Bubble and comes into contact with one.

Ocarina of Time

		Red Bubble Guard against its attack with your shield!

Red Bubbles in Ocarina of Time appear in areas with lava and attack by jumping out of the lava at Link. If they hit the ground, they bounce around wildly until they enter the lava once again. Their flames can be put out by shielding with the Hylian Shield or by stunning them with other means, such as the Hookshot. Once this happens, they lose their flames and bounce around much more slowly, giving Link an opportunity to defeat them. They do, however, regain their flames once they re-enter the lava.

Majora's Mask

		What?! You don't know about the Red Bubble? If it comes at you, get in the defensive position to bounce it back...Got it?

Red Bubbles in Majora's Mask have the same appearance and behavior as their Ocarina of Time incarnations and appear only in the Snowhead Temple.

The Wind Waker

Red Bubbles appear in dungeons, once again chiefly in fire areas. This incarnation does not jump out of lava to attack Link; instead, they slowly float around until they notice him, at which point they chase Link around in an attempt to make contact and damage him but lose interest and give up if Link gets too far away. They can be defeated with a ranged weapon, such as the Hero's Bow, or stunned with the Deku Leaf or the Hookshot and then attacked in close range.

-Red Bubbles, also known as Fire Bubbles, are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. Like the other variations of Bubbles, they are flying skulls wreathed in red flames that attack Link by flying or bouncing into him, setting him on fire and causing damage.

+Red Bubbles appear exclusively in the [[Second Quest]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. Found in various dungeons, they appear similar to the standard Bubbles that had previously appeared in the main quest. However, if one comes into contact with Link, he will lose his ability to use his sword. This ability won't return in a few moments, but instead, it will remain until Link finds a [[Blue Bubble]] and comes into contact with one.
-Red Bubbles occasionally spring out of fire or lava whenever Link gets close. Once they have surfaced from beneath the lava, they will bounce wildly around the area until they are defeated, or until they retreat into the lava again. In both of these appearances, Red Bubbles can be defeated by most damage dealing items. When they hit most shields, or when items that stun are used against them, they will lose their flames and hop around much slower. They will regain their fire if they return to lava. In Ocarina of Time, the fire that envelops Red Bubbles will cause Link's Deku Shield to catch on fire if he comes in contact with them while he has the shield equipped, utterly destroying it. In Majora's Mask, Link's Deku and Zora forms are vulnerable to fire, and Link will be reset to the beginning of the room if he is hit by a burning Red Bubble.

-In Ocarina of Time, Red Bubbles appear most prominently in the Fire Temple and Inside Ganon's Castle, although they briefly appear in the Shadow Temple and the Spirit Temple, as well. Red Bubbles in Majora's Mask are identical to their Ocarina of Time counterparts, and are found only in Snowhead Temple.

-Red Bubbles will float around casually until they take notice of Link. After spotting Link, they cackle menacingly and stalk Link tirelessly until he gets too far away, at which time they lose interest. Their flames can be put out with the Deku Leaf, which will turn them into harmless, idle skulls, which Link can slay with his sword. If they are left to themselves for too long in this state, they will recover and rekindle themselves. They may be defeated instantly with one shot from the Hero's Bow, or a strike from the Master Sword. The Boomerang, despite its capacity for taking out small flying foes, does not damage or stun Red Bubbles whatsoever.

-Red Bubbles have a radically different appearance from earlier installments. Their wings are more bat-like and they have white, glowing eyes. Red Bubbles set Link on fire, burning his Ordon Shield or Wooden Shield if he has one equipped.
