'''Rocks''' are found in virtually every [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' game]]. The term "rock" or "stone" is generally reserved for such an object that acts as an obstacle, or can be destroyed to find [[Recovery Heart]]s,  [[Rupee]]s, or other spare items like [[arrow]]s and [[bomb]]s. They can be removed in a number of ways, depending on the game, such as picking them up and throwing them, breaking them with a [[hammer]] or blowing them up with a bomb. If a rock is thrown, it can damage enemies.

In ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', Link can destroy boulders in his path after he has obtained the [[Power Bracelet#Power Gloves, Titan's Mitt, and the Gauntlets|Glove]]. Due to the game's graphic limitations, the Glove may have been intended to allow Link to cinematic ally lift and throw pillars out of the way as he does in a later game, ''Ocarina of Time''.
==Location and Uses==
[[File:Lifting Small Rock OoT3D.jpg|thumb|left|190px|Link lifting a small Rock from {{OoT3D|-}}]]
Rocks usually yield items when destroyed, such as [[Heart]]s, [[Rupee]]s, [[Arrow]]s, and [[Bomb]]s. They also serve as obstacles that must be lifted and thrown, or destroyed by the use of Bombs or a [[Hammer]]. When thrown, they can also damage some enemies.


In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', most rocks are denoted by a green color. In the [[Dark World]], rocks are skull-shaped, and may occasionally turn out to be [[Stal]]s. Though [[Link]] can't initially pick up or destroy rocks, the [[Power Bracelet#Power Gloves, Titan's Mitt, and the Gauntlets|Power Glove]] enables him to carry lightweight rocks, and the [[Power Bracelet#Power Gloves, Titan's Mitt, and the Gauntlets|Titan's Mitt]] allows him to lift and throw rocks even larger than himself. Throwing a rock at an enemy will heavily damage it, usually resulting in an instant-kill. The most common rocks can be destroyed with the [[Hammer#Magic Hammer|Magic Hammer]] as well. Link can eradicate piles of rocks by charging into them with the [[Pegasus Boots]].
To move or lift some Rocks, [[Link]] must wear certain items in order to do so. In {{ALttP}}, Link must wear the [[Power Glove]]s to lift silver Rocks, while the Titan's Mitt are required to lift brown ones. He can also use the [[Pegasus Boots#A Link to the Past|Pegasus Shoes]] to destroy piles of Rocks. In {{OoT}}, large, unbombable rocks can be lifted by Adult Link by using the Silver and Golden Gauntlets, although the bronze ones, using the same model with the coloring, can be destroyed by using the [[Megaton Hammer]]; both rocks for {{MM}}, the hammer stones can be smashed using [[Goron Link]]'s [[Goron_Link#Goron_Punch|punching]] technique, or detonated with a [[Powder Keg]], and the silver rocks, including but not limited to stones placed underwater, can only be lifted by his transformation. In {{TP}}, Link can also use [[Bomb Arrow]]s to destroy Rocks from afar.


In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', there's only one type of rock. Link can lift and throw these once he has the [[Power Bracelet]].
Rocks also appear as visual hints, mostly pointing out hidden areas or covering secrets. In {{ALttP|-}}, [[Magical Warp Tile]]s can sometimes be found under Rocks. Some large Rocks also hide beneath them [[Treasure Chest]]s. In {{ALBW}}, some Rocks hide beneath them lost [[Maiamai]]s.


[[File:LiftRock.jpg|thumb|[[Adult Link]] lifting a large rock with the help of the [[Power Bracelet#Power Gloves, Titan's Mitt, and the Gauntlets|Silver Gauntlets]]]]
In the [[Dark World]] and [[Lorule]], Rocks are replaced with [[Skull]]s, which may occasionally turn out to be [[Stal]]s.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', as a child, certain small rocks can only be picked up after having obtained the [[Power Bracelet|Goron Bracelet]]. When Link is an adult, these small rocks can be picked up without it. Also when he is an adult,certain boulders and pillar-like rocks can be picked up thrown in a similar fashion with the [[Power Bracelet#Power Gloves, Titan's Mitt, and the Gauntlets|Silver and Golden Gauntlet]]s. Though even with these aids, it is clear heavier objects are still more strenuous to lift and throw. Some rocks can also, or only, be destroyed with the use of [[Bomb]]s, [[Bombchu]], or the [[Hammer#Megaton Hammer|Megaton Hammer]].

==={{TLoZ|-}}===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the small rocks return from ''Ocarina of Time'', and Link can lift them without aid. "Bomb-able" rocks return as well, but larger  boulder-size rocks can no longer be lifted at any point in the game.
{{Stub|TLoZ}}


In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', and later in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', the same type of rocks return from ''Link's Awakening'', and they can only be lifted with the Power Bracelet.
==={{LANS|-}}===
{{Stub|LANS}}


Though Link can lift and throw pots and other common objects in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', lift-able rocks are very uncommon, especially in comparison to previous games. The only handful that can be lifted are the [[Stone Head]] rocks, which are very distinct in appearance, and can only be lifted after the [[Power Bracelet]]s are obtained. Bomb-able rocks appear as well, but once again, are much rarer than in previous games.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', some rocks surround [[Arrghus#Stone Arrghus|Stone Arrghus]], the boss of [[Eastern Temple]]. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', some [[Puzzle]]s involves Link pushing rock similar in appearance to that of ''Four Swords Adventures''.


In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', rocks can be destroyed with the explosions from one or two [[bomb]]s.

In {{TWW}}, Stone Watchers appear in various locations hiding [[Cave|secret cave]]s beneath them, or covering secret passages and entrances. They can only be lifted by wearing the [[Power Bracelet]]s found inside the [[Fire Mountain]], where the first Stone Watcher is found blocking the exit.
