==Characteristics==
======
In , Buzz Blobs appear in the Light World, and are common to the north-east of Hyrule where they can be found close to the Witch's Hut. They are slow moving enemies that wander aimlessly, but retaliate with an electric shock if physically attacked.

If they are stunned or frozen, they will not electrocute Link if attacked.When frozen with the Ice Rod or Ether Medallion, then struck with a sword, Buzz Blobs will not retaliate with electric shocks. If the same Buzz Blob remains unfrozen, and is then slashed, it will shock the attacker. — Any indirect weapons, such as Arrows shot from the Bow, are generally quite effective and will not harm Link. The Golden Sword however is able to defeat Buzz Blobs without electrocuting Link.
