CHUCHU

Ocarina of Time proved a rampant success, perfectly cementing The Legend of Zelda’s place in the future of 3D gaming and prompting a quick sequel produced two years later with all the same graphics and engine and a lot of reused character models. This time, we saw Link, fresh off his Ocarina adventure, wandering the woods in search of Navi, only to be attacked by a possessed Skull Kid, chasing him to a new land called Termina, and getting turned into a Deku Scrub. As Link works to return to human form and stop whatever the Skull Kid is up to, he wanders out of Termina’s central city and onto a sprawling field where he encounters his first new enemy.

These are the Chuchus, amorphous blobs that act basically like your typical slime from Dragon Quest, with a few differences. Similar enemies have appeared throughout the series, including Zols, Gels, and Buzz Blobs, and I’m really not sure what the difference is besides their name. Either way, this was the first time Chuchus by that name appeared.

As fighters, they will be basic and weak for the most part, but will be able to take a hit well. Their moveset will pull from all of their various appearances and variants, which come in more varieties than you might expect.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause.
