A sub-species of the [[Deku Baba]], the Big Deku Baba is a truly colossal version of the Deku Baba in every way. It is unknown whether the species existed during [[Link]]'s childhood in ''Ocarina of Time'', but by seven years later, they became infamous for terrorizing the [[Kokiri Forest]] (one even was situated outside Link's own house). Big Deku Babas exist in Link's childhood in [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest|Master Quest]].  It is possible that the original Big Deku Baba was a mutation of the Deku Baba caused by the evil radiating from the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]].

In ''Twilight Princess'', Big Deku Babas share a symbiotic relationship with [[Deku Like|Deku Likes]], particularly the ones found in [[Faron Province]], and will grow almost right on top of one.
Big Deku Babas exist in Link's childhood in [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest|Master Quest]], and are considerably more threatening due to their appearance early in the game when Link has considerably less health and a smaller stature, appearing as early as the first dungeon.
