{{Term/Store|Deku Nut|Deku Nuts|Series, OoT, OoT3D, MM, MM3D, TMC|plural}} are recurring {{Plural|Series|Item|link}} in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 121 {{Exp Game|OoT, MM}}}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= TMC|publisher= Nintendo|page= 112}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|{{Big|Deku Nut}}<br/>This little nut explodes on impact, dazzling fighters on the ground and launching those who are airborne.|Items|SSBU}}</ref>

==={{OoT|-}}===

Deku Nuts are the dried buds of [[Deku Baba]]s. Although defeating Deku Babas is the most common source of these items, they can also be found on certain other enemies, in trees, and in [[jar]]s as well. In {{OoT}}, they are usually for sale in shops at 15 Rupees for five units.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= OoT3D|publisher= Prima|page= 42}}</ref> [[Business Scrub]]s will offer to sell some at a higher price than shops, at five Deku Nuts for 20 [[Rupee]]s.<ref>{{Cite|I surrender! In return, I will sell you Deku Nuts! 5 pieces, 20 Rupees they are!|Business Scrub|OoT}}</ref>

Throughout {{OoT|-}}, [[Link]] can use Deku Nuts to temporarily stun enemies (which is indicated by a blue skin that filters over the enemy). When a Deku Nut collides with the ground, it lets off a large flash which freezes enemies caught in the flash.<ref>{{Cite|Set it to C and try throwing it! It will flash and stun the enemy!|N/A|OoT}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Upon impact, it makes a blinding flash, freezing enemies in their tracks!|N/A|MM}}</ref> Oddly enough, even [[Ganon]] may be injured by Deku Nuts.

Deku Nuts are the weapons of [[Deku Scrub]]s, which spit them from their snouts. However, the Deku Nuts utilized by Deku Scrubs do not explode on impact, and instead simply deal damage and crumble. That being said, [[Deku Link]] is able to drop Deku Nuts while flying using a [[Deku Flower]], which have the same effect as throwing them. Besides being used for battle, Deku Nuts also hold aesthetic value for the [[Deku Royal Family]] in particular, as the [[Deku King]]'s scepter is adorned with a large Deku Nut on top.

{{Plural|TMC|Deku Nut}} appear in {{TMC}} as projectiles spit by {{Plural|TMC|Business Scrub|link}}. {{Term|TMC|Link|link}} can deflect them with his {{Term|TMC|Shield|link}}, and they will stun the {{Plural|TMC|Business Scrub}} who fired them.

In {{TP}}, Deku Nuts appear as objects and can be picked up from deceased Deku Babas and thrown like jars or rocks.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= TP|publisher= Prima|page= 9}}</ref> They will not explode or produce a flash, but instead will yield [[Slingshot Pellets|Deku Seeds]], which can be used with the [[Slingshot]].

In {{OoT|-}}, it is possible to increase the maximum number of Deku Nuts Link can carry in his inventory. The first upgrade increases the amount from 20 to 30.<ref>{{Cite|Now you can carry many Deku Nuts! You can hold up to 30 nuts!|N/A|OoT}}</ref> The second raises it from 30 to 40.<ref>{{Cite|You can now carry even more Deku Nuts! You can carry up to 40 nuts!|N/A|OoT}}</ref> These upgrades can be obtained in any order.

The first upgrade is obtained as a child by entering the [[Forest Stage]] while wearing the [[Mask of Truth]] (additionally, the Deku Scrubs will refill the supply of Deku Nuts).<ref>{{Cite|All my young Deku Scrub brothers say... You have a horrible face! But don't worry! We will reward you with many Deku Nuts. Of course, we will also enable you to carry more of them! Abracadabra… Alakazaaaam!!|Deku Scrub|OoT}}</ref> In the [[Nintendo 64]] version of {{OoT|-}}, due to a glitch, if the upgrade is not acquired before Link obtains the [[Poacher's Saw]] from the {{Term|OoT3D|Trading Quest|link}}, it becomes impossible to receive the upgrade. This was fixed in {{OoT3D}}.

The second upgrade can be purchased for 40 Rupees from a Business Scrub in the [[Lost Woods]], just outside the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]] entrance.<ref>{{Cite|I surrender! To make your quest easier, I can enable you to pick up more Deku Nuts! But, it'll cost you 40 Rupees!|Business Scrub|OoT}}</ref> The [[Bomb Bag]] is required.

Deku Nuts appear as an item in {{SSBB}}. When thrown, the Deku Nut explodes upon contact, stunning any nearby fighter. It also causes approximately 18% worth of damage. Deku Nuts also explode after a while if ignored while on the ground. They also appear as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros.)|Trophy]] and as a [[Sticker]].
