Octoroks are recurring enemies in. They are -like monsters best known for their method of attack; shooting rock projectiles from their cylindrical snouts in short intervals, hence their name. They are typically common to the overworld, such as Hyrule, but occasionally also appear inside dungeons.

The characteristics of Octoroks and their strategy of attack varies from game to game, as does their habitat where they are encountered. In the 2D Zelda games, Octoroks are generally land-dwelling creatures that slowly crawl and occasionally shoot rocks. They are usually one of the more common and weaker enemies in those games. In the 3D console games, however, Octoroks are often aquatic creatures that live in lakes or seas, much like their real-world counterparts. They pop out and shoot rocks at Link from afar, and immediately submerge underwater if he comes too close. These Octoroks usually require projectile weapons, or deflecting their rocks back at them with the Shield, to defeat.

A few variants of the Octorok have also appeared in the series, with notable varieties including the Flying Octorok, Golden Octorok, and Octomine. The Big Octorok appears as a boss in.

The Legend of Zelda
In, Octoroks are encountered throughout the overworld of Hyrule, and are one of the earliest monsters Link can encounter on his quest. They slowly wander in an aimless path, and randomly shoot rocks in either of the four cardinal directions. Their rocks can be blocked by the Shield if Link is facing in their direction, however. Octoroks come in red and blue-colored varieties, with the blue being the stronger one.

Tri Force Heroes
In, Octoroks are known as Water Octoroks. Although they appear identical to those in A Link Between Worlds, Water Octoroks actually behave more like their 3D console game counterparts, as they are encountered in pools of water where they pop out to shoot rocks at the Links from afar, and submerge if approached. As the Links do not have any Shields to block or deflect their rocks, Water Octoroks must either be attacked using projectile weapons or by stunning them with other items, such as the Water Rod, which will also force them out of the water. Water Octoroks are common to Levels of the Riverside.
