Fruit balloon. That was a gimmick in Twilight Princess for one of the minigames. You turn into a wolf, talk to a bird at Lake Hylia and get scooped up by a large bird that flies you through a cave filled with balloons of various fruits that are worth different amounts of points. Chaining gets you more points and in the end if you do well enough you got a piece of heart plus a free ride to the canoe and fishing minigame locations on the Zora River.

[@dlfon99]

The fruit balloon was in a main game actually. In Twilight Princess, there was a mini game in Lake Hylia where a bird monster carries wolf Link up Zora River all the way to the entrance to Zora’s domain (The same path you take to go to Zora’s domain when the land is shrouded in Twilight). In the mini game, there are several fruit balloons you have to fly through and pop for points.

[@darksiren96]

I liked Link’s Cross Bow Training. (Good game to play when you didn’t feel like playing actual game but wanted to blow something up) The fruit balloons in that game, like everything else, is actually in Twilight Princess. If you go to Lake Hylia after purging it from the twilight and gaining the ability to turn into a wolf at will, go to the waterfall that leads to the Zora people. On a bit of land will be some hawk grass that if link howls the tune, will summon a bird that will offer an opportunity to play a minigame. The minigame consists of wolf link being carried by a big kargorak that you pilot up zora’s river popping fruit balloons of various size and point worth in order to meet the required amount of points to win a piece of heart or orange rupee(100).
