Tumbleweed is a treasure in Skyward Sword and object in Tears of the Kingdom.

Skyward Sword

"You got a Tumbleweed! This dried mass of plant material could come in handy. Might as well take it with you."

— In-game description[1]

Tumbleweed is a collectible item found in Skyward Sword. They are found rolling across the sands of Lanayru Desert and can be caught using a Bug Net.[2][3][4][5] They sell for approximately 20 Rupees and can be used to upgrade certain items:

Tears of the Kingdom

This Tears of the Kingdom section is a stub. You can help the Zelda Dungeon Wiki by expanding it.

"Tumbleweeds: Slash a tumbleweed rolling around Gerudo Canyon, and you might find an item inside."

— Loading screen tip

Tumbleweeds roll around the vicinity of Gerudo Canyon, near the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. Slashing them occasionally reveals a material, such as a Spicy Pepper.

They cannot be taken into Link's inventory directly; but can be fused to a weapon, making a Tumbleweed Club or similar. However, given that they have a fuse attack power of only 1, and break apart after only a few hits (leaving the original weapon), this is of little benefit.
