Description
Underworld Enemy #11: Bubble

"The spirit of the dead. When it clings onto Link, he won't be able to unsheath his sword for a while."

-The Legend of Zelda Manual

Known for being very resourceful, Ganon and his sorcerers are not ones to let anything go to waste. Under the sorcerers' dark magic, full bodied corpses of bandits and intruders became the Stalfos, while solitary body parts and remains found in the tombs became something else entirely. Wrapped in blankets of ethereal flame, lone skulls and bones were transformed into Bubbles. Eerily floating down hallways and chasms, these brainless spirits aren't particularly combative. However, the Bubble's flame has its own special properties. Instead of possessing a high amount of heat as flame usually does, the flame of the Bubble is unusually freezing. The coldness heavily targets metals, the touch of which can make a sword too cold to wield for differing periods of time. As the flame is so unnaturally frigid, contact with the skin directly or even touching an affected weapon can cause profuse skin and nerve damage, which could eventually lead to necrosis of a limb if one isn't careful. The effect it has on weapons doesn't last particularly long, but as the Bubbles are often seen flying around other creatures and warriors, the inability to use one's own weapon in defense in a crowded chamber could lead to a quick and nasty death.
