Deku Nut

A Deku Nut is an item from The Legend of Zelda franchise, in which its first appearance is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In the Super Smash Bros. series, Deku Nuts appear as an item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

When a Deku Nut is thrown at an opponent, they get stunned for a few seconds, like in The Legend of Zelda games. The blast radius can affect several fighters at once. The effect is similar to when a fighter's shield is broken. It is possible for the item's user to also be stunned during the explosion of the Deku Nut. If players are in mid-air during the explosion, they get blasted away, similar to Bob-ombs. Deku Nuts also explode by themselves after a while, even if a fighter is holding one.
