Several recurring elements in the Kingdom Hearts series incorporate Water into their design or conceptualization.

Dumbo attacks enemies with streams of water when summoned, albeit dealing Blizzard damage. Similarly, the Aqua Splash sleight deals Blizzard damage, and the Water Charge enemy card effect boosts the power of Blizzard attacks.

The Damage Drain is associated with Water in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, in which Water Resistance protects the player from having their HP drained.

Certain weapons and accessories are associated with water. Aqua, who is associated herself with water, wields the Rainfell and Stormfall Keyblades. Additionally, Sora's Crabclaw and Mysterious Abyss, which represent the world of Atlantica, and Riku's Ocean's Rage, which represents Prankster's Paradise and Monstro in particular, incorporate water as a major element in their designs. The Destiny's Embrace also incorporates an ocean wave in the design of its handguard.

Rings that protect against Damage Draining in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days are named after water-related terms.
