||
| + | Quadro Babas are very similar to Deku Babas, with the key difference being that the Quadro Baba has a golden exterior and that it can change the direction in which it opens its mouth. |
||
| + | When it attacks, it opens its mouth fully, making it vulnerable to both horizontal and vertical sword attacks. To defeat this enemy, [[Link]] must slice alongside the opening of its mouth, using a vertical slice if its mouth is opened vertically or a horizontal slice if its mouth is opened horizontally. Alternately, it can also be defeated by using a [[Bomb]] or the {{it|Beetle}}. The Quadro Baba is slightly more durable than the Deku Baba, needing at least three strikes of the [[Goddess Sword]] to defeat instead of just one. Quadro Babas are also more aggressive, and will also attempt to attack twice in one turn at rapid speed. They are also capable of dodging Link's sword attacks by swerving away, and unlike Deku Babas, they can also avoid stab attacks. They will then try to counterattack with a bite after dodging. A much more safer way to kill a Quadro Baba is to use a [[Shield Bash]] to stun this enemy. When stunned, it can be chopped in one hit. The [[Bow]] can also kill them, but only if an [[Arrow]] shot in the mouth or at the vine. |
||
| − | ==Abilities== |
||
| − | While in Deku Link form, Link gains many unique abilities which can be used to fight enemies and to solve puzzles. These abilities prove invaluable in several locations throughout Termina. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Water Hopping=== |
||
| − | Deku Link is incapable of swimming, and thus instead travels on the surface of bodies of water through a series of hops. He can bounce up to five times on a water's surface, with the fifth bounce significantly higher than the previous four. If Deku Link falls into the water after the fifth bounce, he will sink and re-emerge back onto the ground. This ability prevents Deku Link from being damaged by toxic water or from being affected by the speed or direction of the current. This ability is primarily employed in areas with poisonous water, such as the Southern Swamp and the Woodfall Temple. In {{MM3D}}, Deku Link requires extra speed to hop farther before performing a Spin Attack. |

||
| − | By burrowing into a [[Deku Flower]], Deku Link can launch himself into the air in brief flight and drop [[Deku Nut]]s onto enemies.<ref>{{Cite|All right, listen up!

As well as granting Link access to previously inaccessible areas, launching from a Deku Flower is also a powerful attack move. This is necessary to defeat enemies such as [[Snapper (Majora's Mask)|Snappers]], and can also be used to defeat the boss of the Woodfall Temple, [[Odolwa]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Bubble Blast=== |
||
| − | This power is granted to Deku Link after he restores the body of the [[Great Fairy]] in [[North Clock Town]]. It allows Link to release powerful bubbles at the expense of draining the [[Magic Meter]].<ref>{{Cite|You've been granted Magic Power! In your current form, press (B) to shoot bubble blasts.

The disadvantage is that the range is inefficient compared to that of [[Arrow]]s. In ''Majora's Mask 3D'', a sight was added when going into first person perspective. Also, the bubble does not burst if charged for too long, its charging time is decreased, it travels faster, and in a straight line, making it more reliable to defeat some enemies. |

| − | ===Spin Attack=== |
||
| − | By tapping the [[Controller Buttons#A-Button|A-Button]] while moving, Deku Link will twirl on one foot at an accelerated pace. This spin can stun enemies and break weak objects such as [[pot]]s, although it is rarely a powerful enough attack to kill an enemy. In ''Majora's Mask 3D'', the tip of Deku Link's hat transforms into a root when using the Spin Attack. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Deku Shield=== |
||
| − | Deku Link possesses a unique [[Shield]] in the form of a large Deku Nut husk. It is similar to [[Goron Link]]'s shield in that it renders Link immobile, but is also impervious to most attacks from any direction (excluding fire-based attacks). This defense is reminiscent of [[Young Link]]'s attempt to use the [[Hylian Shield]] in {{OoT}}. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Other Abilities=== |
||
| − | Due to Deku Link's small size, he is able to stand on [[Lily Pad]]s without them sinking below him. This ability makes the exploration of poisonous waters in the Southern Swamp possible. However, this ability also makes it impossible for Deku Link to press down most [[Floor Switch]]es. His small size also makes him too short to grab and climb onto most ledges. |
||
| − | |||
| − | As Deku Link is also made of wood, he is especially vulnerable to fire-based attacks. Mere contact with a flame of any sort will be typically enough to instantly knock him out, reemerging from where he last entered the area. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Instrument== |
||
| − | [[File:Pipes of Awakening.png|right|100px]] |
||
| − | While in Deku form, Link's Ocarina of Time takes the form of the [[Pipes of Awakening]] (also referred to as the Deku Pipes).<ref>{{Cite|Deku Pipes!

Template:Enemy
The Quadro Baba is a unique form of the Deku Baba in Skyward Sword. Unlike normal Deku Babas, it can open its mouth both horizontally and vertically. These enemies become more common later in the game.
Characteristics
Quadro Babas are very similar to Deku Babas, with the key difference being that the Quadro Baba has a golden exterior and that it can change the direction in which it opens its mouth.
When it attacks, it opens its mouth fully, making it vulnerable to both horizontal and vertical sword attacks. To defeat this enemy, Link must slice alongside the opening of its mouth, using a vertical slice if its mouth is opened vertically or a horizontal slice if its mouth is opened horizontally. Alternately, it can also be defeated by using a Bomb or the Template:It. The Quadro Baba is slightly more durable than the Deku Baba, needing at least three strikes of the Goddess Sword to defeat instead of just one. Quadro Babas are also more aggressive, and will also attempt to attack twice in one turn at rapid speed. They are also capable of dodging Link's sword attacks by swerving away, and unlike Deku Babas, they can also avoid stab attacks. They will then try to counterattack with a bite after dodging. A much more safer way to kill a Quadro Baba is to use a Shield Bash to stun this enemy. When stunned, it can be chopped in one hit. The Bow can also kill them, but only if an Arrow shot in the mouth or at the vine.
