Sparks are recurring Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.[1]
Characteristics
Sparks are invincible in some of their appearances, while they can be defeated in others using the Boomerang. Just as using Magic Powder on Whisps will turn them into fairies, using the Boomerang on Sparks will have the same effect.
A Link to the Past
Sparks in A Link to the Past appear in the Tower of Hera, as well as later Dungeons. They are balls of flashing red or blue flame that cannot be harmed.
Link's Awakening
Sparks in Link's Awakening can be defeated by using the Boomerang, which will turn them into fairies. In the original game for game boy only they can be killed by using the Magic Powder too.
Oracle of Seasons
Sparks in Oracle of Seasons can be defeated by using the Boomerang, which will turn them into fairies.
Oracle of Ages
Sparks in Oracle of Ages can be defeated by using the Boomerang, which will turn them into fairies.
The Minish Cap

|---|---|
 Spark | (North America): Appears in dungeons. They cling to walls and move quickly. Normal attacks may not work, but the boomerang is pretty effective. (Europe): Appears in dungeons. They cling to walls and move quickly. Normal attacks may not work, but the boomerang is pretty effective. |
Sparks appear in Dungeons in The Minish Cap, particularly the Fortress of Winds, the Temple of Droplets, the Palace of Winds, and Dark Hyrule Castle. They also appear in certain Dig Caverns throughout Hyrule. Sparks are invincible to most of Link's Items, and are only vulnerable to the Boomerang and Magical Boomerang; striking them with either one will turn them into fairies. They move along walls and Blocks in a set pattern, damaging Link and stunning him momentarily if he makes contact with them.
Phantom Hourglass
Sparks in Phantom Hourglass are invincible, always found in groups called Winders.
Spirit Tracks
Echoes of Wisdom
Sparks are electricity-based monsters that move across walls and shock foes. Zelda can learn the Spark Echo using the Tri Rod, which has an Echo cost of two.
