The '''Deku Nut''' ({{ja|デクの<ruby><rb>実</rb><rp>(</rp><rt>み</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>}}, ''deku no mi'') is an [[item]] from [[The Legend of Zelda (universe)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]] that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. They are throwable, even though they may look like [[food]]. Once thrown at an opponent, it will [[stun]] them for a brief moment.

Deku Nuts first appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' and its direct sequel ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. Deku Nuts take the appearance of ordinary nuts except they are filled with a special substance that can stun an individual if the nut is damaged. Deku Nuts can be found mainly around the [[zeldawiki:Kokiri Forest|Kokiri Forest]] region. [[zeldawiki:Deku Baba|Deku Babas]] also emit Deku Nuts when they are defeated. Link can use the Deku Nuts to stun certain enemies in the game. [[zeldawiki:Impa|Impa]] and [[Sheik]] also use a Deku Nut, or an item similar to a Deku Nut, to conceal their departure from a certain area. The Deku Nut also appears in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' as a throwable object instead of an item that Link can collect. In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', the Deku Nut is used as a throwing item. If a Deku Nut hits a player, it will explode and launch the player. If the Deku Nut explodes next to a player, it will stun the player. When a Deku Nut is idle for a certain period of time or when the item is held long enough it will explode, which is contrary to how they were in the ''Zelda'' games.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros'' series]]==

The Deku Nut is a type of explosive item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. When it explodes by being thrown, attacked, or timed out, any character in its blast range (including the thrower) becomes stunned, making them vulnerable to a free hit. A character who is moving while hit will slide across the stage if they are hut by a thrown Deku Nut.

===Damage on Grounded Opponents===

If an opponent is airborne when hit by the Deku Nut, they will take a guaranteed 18% damage, and high [[knockback]], as opposed to being stunned.

'''Deku Nuts'''<br>

''Items that explode in a flash of blinding light shortly after they appear or when they take damage. Those caught in a blast will be dazed and immobile for a few moments. If the item is thrown, it has the same effect on whomever it hits. In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Deku Nuts stunned enemies and were indispensable when Link was surrounded.''
