| '''Deku Nuts''' are items from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]''.

| Deku Nuts are the harvested buds of [[Deku Baba|Deku Babas]], as opposed to [[Deku Stick|Deku Sticks]], which are the stalks. Deku Nuts are queer in that they erupt into a blinding flash on impact with a surface. They were famously used by the [[Sheikah]] to quickly leave an area unseen--one would literally vanish after throwing one. This technique was later used by [[Sheik]]. However, most of the time the only effect of a thrown Deku Nut is that it stuns anything around the flash, giving them a fading blue hue until the paralyzation wears off. Oddly enough, powerful figures such as [[Ganon]] may be injured by Deku Nuts, along with very weak creatures such as [[Shabom]].

| When used by [[Deku Scrub|Deku Scrubs]] however, the matter changes completely. Deku Scrubs have mastered ways to make Deku Nuts injure things on impact; something nobody else is known to have done. Deku Scrubs are infamous for their usage of Deku Nuts as weapons; when approached, a Deku Scrub will relentlessly fire Deku Nuts from its nozzle-like snout, in an act very much like firing a gun (for [[Mad Scrub|Mad Scrubs]] it is more like a machine gun). Also, when flying, a Deku Scrub may drop a Deku Nut like an airplane dropping a bomb.

| Deku Nuts aren't only used for battle and flight, however. The Deku Scrubs, masters of Deku Nut cultivation, also use Deku Nuts for aesthetic reasons. For example, the [[Deku King]]'s sceptre has a Deku Nut fixed in at the top, as a sign of power and wealth. Storekeepers very willingly will sell Deku Nuts for profit--15 Deku Nuts for 30 Rupees usually fits their needs.

| [[Faron Woods|Faron]] Deku Nuts, however, lack the characteristic trait of flashing explosions. Instead, they may be picked up directly from a deceased Deku Baba plant and thrown at an object. The Deku Nuts will shatter on impact, releasing seeds very much like the Ordon [[Pumpkin Seed|Pumpkin Seeds]] used for Ordon [[Slingshot|slingshots]].
