Characteristics

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, Magma Bombs fall from the sky during volcanic eruptions on Death Mountain when Link is a child. When this happens, the ground will tremble and Magma Bombs will descend shortly after. There are two types of Magma Bombs that will fall: a series of sporadically-placed rocks and Magma Bombs which will fall directly onto Link. These can be deflected by using any Shield.

Oracle of Seasons

During the battle with Onox, he will shake the room so that a barrage of Falling Rocks will fall and harm Link.

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, Molten Shards fall from the sky during Link's first visit to Death Mountain, including the Molten Shard. They can be avoided by looking at their shadows to see where they will land and by listening for the whistling sound they make as they approach the ground. Molten Shards tend to explode when making contact with the ground. Once Link has quelled Fyrus's rage in the Goron Mines, the Molten Shards will stop falling permanently.

Phantom Hourglass

In Phantom Hourglass, Falling Rocks fly out of the active volcano in the Isle of Ember. Link must avoid them while climbing to its summit in order to enter the Temple of Fire.

Spirit Tracks

In Spirit Tracks, when visiting the Fire Realm for the first time, Magma Bombs fall around and on the Spirit Track. Link must use the Cannon in order to blast them out of the rails. When Link arrives to Goron Village, he finds out that several paths are blocked by the debris. Link must then get Mega Ice to the Village in order to open these paths. On his way to the Fire Sanctuary, Link must avoid more Magma Bombs.

Cragma, the Boss of the Fire Temple, also uses Magma Bombs as one of its attacks.

A Link Between Worlds

In A Link Between Worlds, a volcanic eruption takes place when Link first arrives at Hyrule's Death Mountain, causing Great Balls of Fire to continually rain down around Link. Occasionally, a Great Ball of Fire will burst into several Green Rupees when it smashes into the ground, while sometimes it will spawn a Deadrock instead.

Great Balls of Fire will no longer threaten Link once he reaches the summit of Death Mountain, but will resume falling if he returns to the Mountain's lower portions.

Tri Force Heroes

In Tri Force Heroes, Volcanic Rocks only appear in the third stage of Blazing Trail and during the "Avoid the volcanic rocks!" Drablands Challenge in the Den of Flames and the Dragon Citadel. The Links must avoid the falling rocks while traversing these Levels; being hit by one will burn them as well as causing damage.

Breath of the Wild

In Breath of the Wild, Magma Bombs fall from Death Mountain and explode around the Eldin Region. This is caused by the rampaging of the corrupted Divine Beast Vah Rudania.^[7] Due to the Magma Bombs, a rock slide seals the entrance to the vault where Bludo's painkillers are kept, trapping Yunobo inside.^[8] Once Rudania is freed from Calamity Ganon's corruption, the Magma Bombs stop.^[1]

Tears of the Kingdom

Magma Bombs are fired at Link by Moragia on Death Mountain in Tears of the Kingdom. Their movement can be stopped and reversed with the Recall Ancient Power. The amount of Magma Bombs fired varies with the amount of heads that have been destroyed with Yunobo's Power of Fire. With no heads destroyed, Moragia fires three Bombs per head. With one head destroyed, the remaining heads fire seven each. With two heads destroyed, the remaining head fires fifteen.
