Bob-omb

Bob-ombs are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zeldas series. Bob-ombs are explosive bomb-like enemies that, when attacked, light their fuses and run around wildly before exploding and harming Link, should be in the vicinity of the blast. Two good ways to avoid being harmed by the resulting explosion are to either use a shield to block the explosion or shooting it with an arrow at it to detonate it immediately.

Bob-ombs are originally enemies that appear in the Mario series of games created by Nintendo, making cameo appearances in the Legend of Zelda games. In Mario games they are called Bomb-ombs, and react in a similar way to in the Zelda series.
